was just a few months old.

We always go for the earliest seating. We brought snacky food for her and quiet toys. I routinely just mashed up some of my food for her to eat (off a bread plate) and she grew up being a terrific diner!

If she starts to have a meltdown, guess what? Even the fanciest places have to go boxes. :)

Recently we took her to lovely resturaunt in St. Augustine and got the prix fixe tasting menu (SIX courses, yum!, skipped the wine pairing) and the chef made her some (deeelicious) chicken, she had the bisque, bread, a tiny salad, even an oyster! The staff was awesome, they treated her like any other guest but with a bit more fuss over her. They got REALLY good tips that night.

Most of the other diners didn't even know she was there till we left.
