rude management. ok - we went to tj stones two times and had good experiences, so went back. they act as though they are "kid friendly", with kid menus, plastic cups and baby chairs. however, this time, the managers were at the restaurant and were highly annoyed we had children. granted, one of our kids was touching the lettering on the wall (directly above our seat), but one of the managers came by and noted that he spent over 5 hours putting that lettering on the wall (one slow guy) and for our kid not to touch it. fine. so, my husband left the restaurant with our two kids while i waited for the bill. my husband even apologized b/c our kids (ages 2.5 and 16 months) had cried, and one of the managers blew him off, saying "whatever" (in an extremely rude tone). this was not what we thought our neighborhood restaurant would be. it's fine if you don't want kids, but don't act like you do and don't market yourself as "kid friendly" when you are not.
on a positive note, the waitstaff is fantastic and thefoodis good. i just got a really bad taste in my mouth.
