But we managed, and when we traveled, we exposed our son to dining. It's been great experience. At 17, he took his girlfriend to dinner at a very nice place on Valentines day.He knew how to order, eat properly and tip. He even tried new food (the pre fixe menu featured oysters). Dining out is a learning experience and the food should also reflect that. Children should be exposed to all that restaurant dining can offer. hooray for parents who shun the fast food crap and want “real food” for their kids. when my son was young Two Boots was all there was available that was really kid friendly.

It's food you'd eat, but just in smaller portions. Oh, and The Farm on Adderly (on Cortelyou Rd) and Picket Fences (also on Cortelyou) both have great kids menus.

We take her out so that she can enjoy the restaurant experience. Giving her chicken fingers and fries kind of defeats that. Normally, we just give her some of whatever we've ordered. We ask for a smaller plate and she ends up eating something from everyone's plate. It ensures that she's getting "real" food while encouraging her to try new things.

I would love to find a place that offered kids salmon, kids pasta primavera- at least slightly healthier options. I do like the idea of ordering tapas/appetizer's right away. We've also started using menupages.com and scoping out the menus ahead of time- that way we can ensure there are things we can all enjoy.
