I have been to enough restaurants with similar price ranges, atmosphere and food quality and have never seen a message like this before. Has anyone encountered something like this before? What do others think of this policy?

I've been to many where reception was simply not available. Before it closed down, Robert Donna's Galileo in DC was one that I recall I always had difficulty. Not sure if it was active blocking or an architectural coincidence but it seems to be more effective than a little menu note that the abusers would ignore. Let's face it, if someone is enough of a [censored] to be obnoxiously loud on a cell phone at a high end restaurant, they sure as hell aren't going to read the note and turn off their phone.
