| - If we were going off my personal opinion on the taste of food alone, I would probably only designate four stars. BUT, this is the only place where the kid meal comes with broccoli (or roasted veggies, kale/apple slaw, you get to decide...). If I cook broccoli sprinkled with Parmesan at home, my kids will push it around on their plate. But at Flower Child, I caught them fighting over the last piece of broccoli. So Bravo, Flower Child. Nicely done.
I took my husband here as well and he got the Flying Avocado, which is a burrito with avocado. But it's not like a mammoth man-size Chipotle burrito, it is a normal burrito, representing a generous yet practical and digestible serving size.
I appreciate the lack of fried food and a fresh option outside of the AJ's salad bar. Because lets face it, AJ's is cool but their salad bar is no Whole Foods, except in price.
The only thing I do not like about the chicken-nugget-less kid meals are the enormous drinking cups that they come with. The options for filling these cups (outside of water) are a variety of teas (caffeine!) and lemonades (sugar!) Everything in moderation so I recommend watering down the lemonade for kids, and maybe even adults, if you do not like things coyingly sweet.
What I wanted to touch on (because I doubt anyone else will take it there) is the bathroom mirrors. I am not saying they are bad, or saying they are good, I am just saying that it is always an interesting sight to be facing a full length mirror while you use the restroom. My daughter was especially intrigued by this and very determined to watch herself go in as many ways as possible.
So far I have tried the steak, pho, and a variety of side dishes - everything is tasty and if my man-size-burrito loving husband enjoyed it, I would say there is something there for any type of eater. Except for those who only eat french fries.
