Children aged under 7 have been banned from an upmarket Atherton Tablelands restaurant after management grew tired of toddlers screaming and throwing tantrums.

Flynn's Restaurant in Yungaburra enforced its new rules on Sunday after staff asked a mother to take her crying daughter outside, leading to a heated discussion.

In a review on Tripadvisor, the woman accused the owner of being rude and said her daughter "wasn't misbehaving or wreaking havoc".

Punters have taken to Flynn's Facebook page to blast the restaurant, however owner Liam Flynn said the reaction to the child ban was "largely positive".
