That's easy -- the family should have been asked to leave. I have told maitres 'd that the restaurant should cancel my order as we were leaving because the ambience of the restaurant was totally destroyed by a crying baby. In each instance, the maitre 'd took prompt action -- it was the threat of losing business, however, that motivated it.
