| - What a lovely lunch! I've always enjoyed their food but hadn't brought the 1 1/2 year old kiddo there before, and I think our particular mother-toddler daytime lunch date experience warrants sharing, for the parents among us.
The folks at Relish were awesome in several ways:
1. When we came in, they asked if we'd like a table "for the two of you."(So many restaurants offer me a table for one and I know they don't mean anything by it, but I really appreciate when someone acknowledges our kid.)
2. The high chair was quite clean!
3. They happily made a grilled cheese for my daughter.
4. Without asking, they let the grilled cheese cool to kiddo-friendly temperature before bringing it to the table!
5. They served her meal a little before mine, without my asking (or even thinking to ask for it) so I could get her content and would have a little more breathing room to enjoy my own lunch. Super, super thoughtful!
6. Both of our lunches were DELICIOUS.
7. The chefs smiled at Eleanor from behind the line. Our server was that perfect kind of friendly that's warm but still genuine.
8. The music playing in the background included old Weezer, Okkervil River, The Beatles, Paul Simon, and The Shins.
Thanks, Relish. I wish you lots of success and will be back for sure.
