Dining with kids + attempting to diet = Everybodys Stressed!

If you have kids you'll understand that getting them gathered up and taking them out to anything fancier that McDonalds is not for the faint of heart. Added to that I'm attempting to lose 80 lbs in 30 days ( #lol ) so my dieting needs are much less than ideal. However, we were reminded that Tuesdays are Kids night @lemonadehousegrillepb and that plus the promise of someone else doing the dishes pushed us out the door

Now I've already written a review of the LHGPB and I don't intend to repeat myself. However, our waiter deserves a gold star for the evening, I just wish I could remember his name. He handled enough special requests to be embarrassing, numerous refills, kids attempting to play all the board games, and frequent napkin requests with grace and a smile that we need more of in this world. BTW, I ordered the Manhattan on a lettuce wrap with a side salad and it was amazing ( #lowcarb ).

If you go out with kids and/or special dieting requests be sure and tuck a little patience and grace in your back pocket. Special requests add an extra margin for error to the kitchen and wait staff alike while the average kid is enough to dress anybody out. Aristotle said "The ideal man bears the accidents of life with dignity and grace, making the best of circumstances." If we can all learn to take a little grace and patience into this world, and leave a healthy tip behind, then you'll stand a much better chance of having a great experience. Please remember waiter, waitresses, busses and host are all just humans trying to live their life, treat them how you'd want to be treated.

Enjoy
