Halle says: Palani Drive is a great place to go on a hot summer day because they have great smoothies, and sometimes I'm allowed to just have that for my meal. My favorite flavors are the ones with mango in them, like the Mana. I also like the cheese quesadillas there. You can sit outside on the deck or inside in these big booths or up at the bar, especially when the Tour de France is on TV (I watch it with my Daddy, who loves his bike).

Karen says: There are plenty of great options here if you are a vegetarian or an especially health eater looking to instill those same habits in your offspring. Many of the appetizers at this Libbie and Grove mainstay - the black bean cakes and the hummus for example - work well as entrees for younger customers. The atmosphere is appealingly laid back, and there is an ice cream shop just a stones throw away if bribery becomes necessary during the meal.
