We are looking to stay in the city- we will also have a 4 year old in tow. Asian is out, as the beloved youngster will not eat it. I am not afraid to spend a little money- just looking for a place that is nice, good food and will not give kids the hairy eyeball. We usually end up at places like fraziers, mangia, or anywhere on south grand. Looking forward to hearing what people have to say! Peace, Michele Wed Mar 05 07:00:38 -0800 2008 168898 chick4peace 1 3462862 How about Stellina Pasta near Hampton and Watson? It's tiny and on the casual side, so I don't know if that will meet your definition of a "special dinner," but they're good with kids and the food is excellent.

They have absolutely delicious food and if your 4 year old is reasonably well behaved, he should be welcome there. www.harveststlouis.com Wed Mar 05 12:38:58 -0800 2008 3461609 161840 cheeseguysgirl 2 3463635 However, Harvest isn't in the city. I like The Pitted Olive on South Hampton. Wed Mar 05 14:49:35 -0800 2008 3463101 12694 alan
