Blue Zoo for Vegetarians?

[robinb]

I have Blue Zoo reserved for New Year's Eve and my teen DD is a vegetarian. I've looked over the menu and there is literally nothing for her to eat. She would be perfectly happy with the kid's rigatoni. Will they allow her to order off the kid's menu? Or, will they whip up something for her? Should I contact them in advance?

There are a few salads on the menu and a pasta entree. I'm sure they could make the pasta entree with olive oil and no bolognese. They could also put the tomato sauce from the kids menu on the adult pasta instead of the bolognese.

You might still want to ask about the ingredients in the tomato sauce. Seems silly, but I know several restaurants who put things like bacon fat or bone broth or other non-vegetarian ingredients in their tomato sauces. As a vegetarian, I have learned to spot potential for hidden ingredients. I once had a waitress tell me that there was anchovy paste in their tomato sauce, but I should try it anyway because "you can hardly taste it"

Thanks for the head's up! She is not a super-conscious vegetarian so we usually practice "don't ask, don't tell" when it comes to things like tomato sauce.
