Restaurants can ask anyone to leave for any reason, as long as it is not related to a patron being a member of a protected class, e.g. asking people of a specific race, nationality, religion or gender to leave solely because of the class membership. Restaurants can (and some do) ban children, though it varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
