Last night I decided after a while to treat my friend and family out for dinner at the Piper Arms Pub Belleville and am appalled how the owner runs his business.

My son is non verbal and only a year and a half old. My sons way of communicating is screams, which in the restaurant setting made sure to try to remind a baby to lower his voice. I never go out to eat at restaurants and thought this was a treat for everyone.

I had the store owner walk up to my table and stated that he received a complaint that my son is making noise...I apologized and told him that he's a baby and makes noise but will do our best ensure he's not loud. I told the waiter who was a father himself and couldn't believe the store owners behaviour how he treated my friend and I. He never once apologized and could've not even said anything as it's a family restaurant. I've gone to the Trenton location and never had this issue and seen tons of families dine here and truly love their food. I honestly wanted to cry cause my son can't control that, it's his way of expression and am on a waitlist for a speech therapist and am working with him and feel this was a moment you chose to crush me as a parent.

I had two other tables apologize to me as they saw my children were well behaved and his "screams" were his face filled with a smile looking forward to eating your fries as it's his favourite thing to eat.

Everyone around us actually saw my son was very happy until you came to our table and made my children feel extremely uncomfortable. I spoke to our waiter who was fabulous and can say that the owner doesn't have children and literally only came to our table when there was even a newborn baby crying and other toddlers screaming.

At the end of our meal the owner says after all of it he can only give one complimentary meal for a kid....even the waiter was arguing with the owner that he couldn't believe he'd insult us and ruin our evening and not even say sorry...I didn't want compensation for food or anything he literally looked at my son and made it evident he didn't want us here and want an apology.

Thank you Piper Arms Pub Belleville for making me feel awful for my son making noise and saying that in front of my children too...oh and the owner pointing his finger and telling me that you weren't gonna do anything about it when other tables saw my son was happy and kids were very well behaved. This business clearly prejudice against families and those with people of special needs...this clearly was a beyond discriminatory practice and the waiter can confirm he never apologized and actually was making crude statements against women. You will never receive my business but wanted the community to know that families are clearly not welcomed there and the owner hates children and especially those with special needs.
