Startle

Although Four-Star restaurant Sixteen caters to grown-up palates, it does a remarkable job of pleasing younger taste buds, too. The cute kids’ menus are decorated with either princesses or Transformers, and they feature such kid-friendly treats as peanut butter and jelly with a fruit cup or chicken fingers. While you nurse a beer, your son or daughter can sip on a special kiddie “mocktail” like the Shirley Temple or Flower Power, which is made with rose nectar, cranberry juice and club soda. Need an incentive to get your kids to finish dinner? Sixteen makes simple, no-fail desserts, such as chocolate pudding and fresh baked cookies, which are sure to make the little ones smile.
