Is Venetian Moon in Reading / Can I bring a baby?

I will be in the Reading area tonight and would like to skip the chain restaurants. I have a 9month old. He sits in a high chair and will not be eating (he eats baby food). He is well behaved and we dine out quite a bit but out of respect to other diners, is this restaurant appropriate for a child to be in?

    We opted against risking the uncomfortable situation, and dined at a family style place. Thanks for the help everyone.

      I haven't been in a while but they used to have the more "hip" area upstairs and a downstairs area that was more suitable for a mixed group. You might call them to ask.

      Other suggestions might be:

      Sam's Bistro
      Grumpy Doyle's
      Bangkok Spice (small)

      None of them will really knock your sox off but imho, neither would VM:-)

        To my mind (I've only dined there twice) it's a little too swanky-hipster-dating scene to bring a baby. Other posters might disagree.

          No, I agree with that assessment. I would have felt out of place dining there with my son...
