Though it is in Disneyland - a noted place to take your kids - the strict age rule at Victoria & Albert's is 10 and over.
It's also not as easy to get a table as it is to line up for churros. Reservations are reportedly hard to get. And if you cancel within five days of your booking, you'll be hit with a $100 fee.

"The setting is intimate, and the pacing is that of a leisurely, three-hour waltz orchestrated by a gracious brigade of veteran servers," according to Michelin.
The kitchen is led by chef Matthew Sowers, who, Michelin writes, "cooks with contemporary verve and draws on influences spanning from Asia to the Nordics."
"It's an incredible honour to be the first Disney-owned location recognised by Michelin for the dining experience our team brings to life at Victoria & Albert's," Sowers said in a statement.
While some parkgoers are disgruntled by the high prices attached to a meal at the Disney restaurant, others say it's worth the cost.
"My husband and I saved up for two years and went," one person wrote on Reddit, "it was INCREDIBLE."
The Michelin judge who granted the star agrees, saying that the restaurant offers "a kind of magic rarely seen these days."
