My mother and her husband are in town and they are not strangers to this town. But I'd like to have them explore some different places to eat, while allowing the whole family to enjoy, as well. (Read: family friendly!)
Yesterday I sent them to get some soup and a sandwich at Temptations (and, due to a napping toddler, they brought me back a yummy chicken-walnut-mandarin orange salad...which I ate too quickly to have time to take a picture. Sorry, Christina!) My step-father enjoyed it so much he said that Denver should have a place as good as Temptations. And he was impressed with their wine selection, as well.
Last night, in the tropical storm rain and early darkness, they braved a run to a Chinese restaurant for take-out. Later today, we'll pick up Veronica (7) early from school and go to the Wilmington Tea Room. Veronica has been dying to take her grandmother to have tea for more than two years, but the tea room closes at 3 p.m., the same time as her school lets out.
Any suggestions for a dinner place--besides Flaming Amy's--that can handle our gang? (Don't get me wrong, we love Flaming Amy's, but since we live down the block from it, we get our fill.)
If the restaurant is pet friendly, we might just take the turkey buzzard that's been hanging around or Sammy the caterpillar. Sammy, Veronica is convinced, is "either dead or has made his coccoon." So he definitely doesn't eat much.
