The place has prepared menus, as well as activities that can keep the tots busy to make the whole dining experience for the family trouble-free. The restaurants gives all kids a paper mat with characters which they can colour and games which they can finish as the adults wine and dine. They are also given basil seeds for them to plant. Chef Goldman assures parents that the recipes in the kids’ menu are very well planned. Sous chef Anthony Kentrotis shares that all meals include nutrition notes and are divided into go, glow, grow food category.
