"We have been to this restaurant several times when visiting my in-laws. I specifically wanted to come here to celebrate my upcoming birthday. I had reviewed the website many times before coming to the restaurant. The day we were scheduled to come in my mother-in-law had heard they don't allow kids. I checked the site and could not find any information but I didn't want to risk it since we had a special evening planned on our last night before heading home to Chicago. I called the restaurant to ask, just to be sure, and the woman who answered said yes, of course, we allow kids. Many of our staff and the owners have kids. We even had a bento box for kids. I thought great, many times the kid's menu is not posted so I didn't think much of it. We went to the restaurant and had a great meal. The waitress suggested the pasta with butter for my 4 1/2-year-old daughter. Every course was fantastic and our bill was well over $500 for five people. Then we looked at the check closer and noticed that we were charged $28.00 for PASTA with butter. My husband asked the waitress to confirm that it was not a mistake. Super disappointed as we loved this restaurant and loved the food but we left with a terrible taste in our mouths. I worked in the restaurant business for many years and I understand pricing but this just seemed VERY deceptive. 1) If you are going to charge $28 for a kid's pasta then have the decency to put it on the menu in writing so we understand how much you are charging and can make a choice to either order the item or order something else (that is worth $28). 2) you are making a statement you don't want kids in your restaurant so that statement about it being kid-friendly was total BS."
