Anyone know if any of the restaurants around Stephen Ave will let minors in for dinner (teenager, so no worries about fussy kids). Or maybe around Eau Claire. We'll be staying downtown, and I don't want to venture that far away. And no, we don't want any Chinese or Vietnamese; she gets enough of that at home and would love to try something different. Thanks!

There are some places that have lounge areas off limits because of the alcohol factor but I'm not enough of a cocktail queen to know what those actually are- Earls at Bankers Hall? So to answer your question- do any of the restos around Stephen Ave let minors in for dinner- I'd say, yes, absolutely.

We ate at two restaurants there--Milestone Cafe (yes, I know it's a chain but any place I can get eggs benedict at three in the afternoon gets a thumbs up from me; I love breakfast food for lunch/dinner) and the James Joyce pub (great beer, pretty bland food). We saw a few kids in/at the pub--we ate outside--so I don't think you'll have any problems.

Great food there as well. Quite fancy as well. Sat Jun 23 21:13:45 -0700 2007 2677544 102607 makan2 4 2688797 I'd chose Divino over the rest and the price point is typically as good as...
