EXACTLY. Christopher and I took Owen to one of our favorite tiny Italian bistros. It's casual and I see kids in there all the time. But when Owen wasn't being really cooperative after we had ordered and I saw a nicely dressed couple sit next to us and order $9 glasses of whiskey, I figured they might not want their fairly expensive dinner disrupted and we asked the waitress to box our entrees to go.
Owen wasn't screaming or crying, but I could tell by his fidgets that he wouldn't last through dinner. I made a judgement call and we left. I try to pick up on these cues early before there is a problem and be considerate of other customers.
