The experience We were reminded a week or so ago about a great little local spot here in Plano by one of the comments we received.  We decided that tonight (a Friday) would be a great night to go so that we wouldn’t have to battle others going out in Dallas or even some of [...]

The experience The weather today was absolutely gorgeous.  I did not wake up until noon today (hey! I left work at 7am this morning) and was looking forward to enjoying the cool temperatures.  I googled patio restaurants dallas and happened upon Ozona Bar and Grill.  When I asked Ogre about it he kept saying that [...]

Nearly Terrific Terilli’s

In: 4 stars, Dallas, Dinner, Frisco, Italian, Patio

The Experience We were actually off to dinner early today so we thought we’d head down to Ogre’s old stomping grounds.  As a bachelor he lived about a block off Greenville Avenue near the M streets.  I suggested either Simply Fondue or Terilli’s.  We went back and forth about this all the way down there.  [...]

Diners at Taco Diner

In: 4 stars, Dallas, Dinner, Mexican, Patio, Plano

The experience Today we planned to have dinner with one of my best friends and her family.  Unfortunately, one of them was sick, so we had to change plans.  I did not want to go to the restaurant we planned to go with them, so I looked on-line to find something for this evening.  I [...]

The experience I am embarassed to say that we have driven past this restaurant at least a thousand times and have never given it the time of day.  A few days ago, we were surfing the restaurant review sites looking for “the best” and came across Zander’s House as one of the top rated restaurants [...]

The experience I mentioned Razoo’s yesterday and I guess Ogre has been thinking about since because he brings it up at 5 o’clock.  Unfortunately, Benji is down for a nap.  He doesn’t wake up until 7pm.  We try to book it out the door and here comes Mina all decked out for dinner.     [...]

Voila Pas

In: 2 stars, Allen, French, Lunch, Patio

The experience We decided to eat in Allen on our way to risk Cryptosporidium at the splashpark in Allen (not that there are confirmed cases from there, it’s just rampant right now in DFW). Ogre had heard of a little French restaurant in Allen so we head to Viola. It was quaint and not too [...]

About Child's Plate

Childsplate.com chronicles our journey to find the perfect family restaurant. We are looking for restaurants with excellent food and a great attitude towards kids, even the whiny, cranky ones!

We hope you will visit frequently and use our experiences to create some fun dining experiences of your own! Watch out, DFW, the Phipps family is going out to eat!
