Readers have overwhelmingly backed restaurant owners slammed for laying down strict rules on how children should behave.
Cindy and Ibo Atay own The Mediterranean Restaurant in Llandudno and made national headlines for issuing rules which dictated how children should behave, including asking parents to take persistently screaming kids outside until they had calmed down.
The instructions also demanded parents stay with children and stop them from running around the restaurant.
Mrs Atay defended her stance after the story was debated on ITV's Loose Women show on Wednesday afternoon.
She said not only were the rules there to give consideration to other diners but also for safety reasons, as children left unattended could be exposed.
Now a poll conducted by North Wales Live has shown the vast majority of readers back her policy of giving prospective customers a list of dos and don'ts for kids.
More than 1,650 readers had voted by Thursday afternoon, with 97% (1,603) saying the owners were right to demand high standards of behaviour in their establishment.
Mediterranean's rules on kids
Children must be seated at all times, not left to run around the restaurant. The restaurant can be a very dangerous place; staff carrying hot plates etc. We will not be held responsible for your children if they are hurt in the restaurant because they are not being looked after.
Children are the sole responsibility of their guardian while in our restaurant. Children must be accompanied to the toilets for health and safety reasons.
Children under eight years old will be served with melamine plates and bowls, due to our porcelain plates being served hot.
Crying/Screaming children: The management love children in the restaurant, but we do understand that when children are crying or screaming in the restaurant it does upset our other customers. Customers do not come to listen to screaming children.
We ask in the most politest way possible, please if your child is crying/screaming, please take them out of the restaurant until they've calmed down. I really do not want to upset anyone, but we have had complaints in the past. You have to understand people do not come out to listen to crying/screaming children. So please be considerate to others.
Unfortunately, if a child cannot be stopped from disturbing other diners we will unfortunately have to ask you to leave the restaurant, which we really would hate to do. I know it would offend and we'd hate that too!!
Only 58 people disagreed with Mrs Atay's position on setting out her demands.
Mrs Atay, who has run the Mediterranean with her husband Ibo for 25 years, said she was unrepentant about the rules she enforces.
She said warning parents about controlling children and thinking of other guests was "sensible".
She added: "There are restaurants where kids are welcome but there are glasses on the table, forks, knives, side plates and flower pots in our restaurant.
"We have a fountain and we can't have it on because children have their hands in it and it causes a trip hazard on the floor for our staff with hot plates.
"Some parents come into the restaurant and they think their children can do what they want. Ninety percent of parents are great with their children, but there are a few unfortunately who think they can come on holiday and take a holiday from their parenting, from everything.
"The only parents that are offended are those who want to let their children run around."
A snap poll on ITV 's Loose Women on Wednesday afternoon showed 66% of viewers supported kicking noisy children out of restaurants.
Janet Street Porter, whose aunt lives in Llandudno gave her total support for the Mrs Atay's rules.
Mrs Atay, who ran a nursing agency in Colwyn Bay for 20 years before taking up the reins at the restaurant, said: "I looked after children with special needs so I am quite capable of coping with special needs children. There are always exceptions to the rules."
"If you are there having a romantic meal do you want a baby that's screaming blue murder?
"I know when you're away you have to take your children out with you but most people try their best to get them into bed early."
