i have an 90 year old frail parent who I try to take out weekly to dine with friends. We have visited multiple restaurants in Montreal from the most exclusive to local neighbourhood bistros. Not one has ever refused my request to allow my mom to order from the children's menu as she is unable to eat a large meal and lives in a long-term care setting so does not require left-overs to take home, until we went to Marathon's this evening. The manager would not even give me the courtesy of listening to my explanation. This definitely my FIRST and LAST visit to this restaurant. Also the food was exceedingly salty and not particularly tasty.

I understand your point quite well. But what I do not understand is why you simply did not order a full meal and shared it with your guest. It would have been much easier and I am sure your guest would have appreciated it. Give it another chance. It is a good restaurant with generous portions. And if you do not feel like having a big plate portion, why not order a few appetizers and share?

Of course we shared a meal and neither of us left hungry. It was the attitude and demeanor of the manager that I objected to. I am used to being talked to in a courteous and pleasant manner. If my parent is 90 I am not exactly a teenager :-)
