I understand we are going through a pandemic right...

I understand we are going through a pandemic right now, but my partner was told that basically they dont want to take our reservation as we have a baby and the baby will take up another seat for someone else. This confused my partner at first and she had to clarify that we would be the only people sitting at our table right??? He said the baby seat would take up a persons seat so we couldnt have another couple in to have dinner. Needless to say we are fuming!!!
