A “Special” Night Out With The Kids?
Wouldn’t it be great to dine on a sophisticated (and organic!) meal while your kids eat from a children’s menu that not only caters to their tastes, but is healthy as well? Aura Restaurant at the Seaport Hotel (200 Seaport Blvd. Boston, 617-385-4300) in Boston’s Seaport District is again hosting its popular family dinner series, ”Fine Dining, Family Style” on select Friday evenings from 5:30 p.m.-8 p.m. Aura’s next scheduled family dinner will be on January 29th from 5:30 p.m.-8 p.m. The dinner will be preceded by a kid’s yoga class led by the hotel’s yoga instructor. Afterwards,kids can join their parents in the dining room . Parents can choose from either the a la carte menu or the $30 three course prix fixe menu (love prix fixe!) which includes either a salad or soup for a first course, a choice among entrees, and a choice of dessert. Kids can sup on homemade chicken tenders amped up in flavor with orange juice and a brown sugar crust, grilled cheese with sweet potato fries, and more. Chef Rachel Klein even offers a seasonal selection of purees just for baby! ”Fine Dining, Family Style” may be a bit pricey, but it is a fun night out for that special occasion when you want to celebrate “en famille”.
