Don’t limit kids on what they can order especially for a one time only birthday dinner.

+1 Better to have all you can eat pizza and root beer floats ordered freely in a celebratory fashion than being a parsimonious Gruyère Grinch. I feel that way about weddings, too. Quit trying to do too much with too little- no one wants rubber chicken and lukewarm risotto- most would prefer a club sandwich and fries.

Of course you limit. Not all kids are raised well and are not reasonable in what they pick.

We too did a Melting Pot birthday dinner around that age, to much acclaim. We had boys and girls, however.

I think any of the Great American Restaurants would be a great place for a nice teens dinner!

They aren’t ordering. $300 bottle of wine.

Average entree is going to be $20-35. Out of 10 people you may have the one jerk who orders a $65 steak. Not worth the fuss of limiting.

Why do people do this to their kids. It’s gross and way overpriced.
