Family Meal

I went to a place called Family Meal because it had just opened and I wanted to try it out. Bryan Voltaggio from the TV show Top Chef owns it.

From the outside it was a black building that looked just like a car dealership. It took a while to get in because it was packed and we didn't have a reservation, but finally we got in. The inside looked very fancy, but there wasn't very many decorations. There was also a bar for adults and you could see inside the kitchen.


When I looked at the menu, there wasn't many items on the menu. My dad got the fried chicken and they did have a kids menu, which had only 5 items on it. Since my sister, Olivia, wasn't getting a kids meal, I could get something off it, so I got the Fish'n'Chips. My brother, Owen, got Spaghetti and Meatballs and the other items were a Cheeseburger, Steak Burger, and Grilled Cheese. 


My mom gave me and my brother and sister paper and pens while we were waiting for our food. I took notes while Owen and Olivia drew, since there wasn't any other entertainment. It took a really long time for our food to come. My Fish was O.K, but I thought it was bland, since my mom ordered it without tarter sauce. Then my mom offered some of her Chicken Pot Pie Nuggets, and they were fantastic! It felt like I was actually biting into a moist, juicy Chicken Pot Pie! That made up for the Fish. The fries were O.K. and would have been better if they were salty. 


I give **** stars for food and **** stars for kid friendly. I also have some advice for Family Meal. In order to get a great kid friendly rating, you need to have lots of entertainment. An easy way to start out is to have a coloring page with the kids menu on it, with your very own theme. Well, that's all. Bye!
