I must go to the higher end restaurants then, because DD took us out
to Pasta Pomodoro the other night because we'd baby sat for 4 days and
nights and we went out as a family to a "family" restaurant. It was
pretty nice. They had a fireplace, open kitchen and a room behind the
fireplace for those people who didn't want to be in an area where
children were seated. The food was merely okay, but the butternut
squash soup was superior (no saltines were served with it), made with
chicken stock, which they called "velouté" instead of cream; and the
panna cotta was memorable.... well, I haven't met a panna cotta I
didn't like yet - so take that with a grain of salt.
