Has an adult ever tried to order off the kids menu @ the California Grill? I really want to go for the experience but the food sounds really crazy for me. The salad on the kids menu sounded good and the chicken sounded normal. Anyone had any luck doing this? And yes i tried a search but it wasnt working so i apologize if there is another thread started for this.
 
I'm pretty sure they won't allow it- except maybe w/ an upcharge.
But the menu there changes sometimes faster than is updated online- and I'm sure you'll be able to find something you'd like. Sometimes things sound weirder on paper than they taste in person.
I've never had anything there that I felt was not like "normal" food. Everything i've had has been very yummy. The goat cheese ravioli (app) is GREAT.
And the desserts are all wonderful too :-)
 
We dined at CG last September for my parent's 40th. We (adults LOVED the food) I've got a picky 13yo son, and I asked if the kid's menu items were an option even if we'd pay adult prices and got a very stern "no" from the waiter. So, he ordered the most basic of adult flat breads (pizza) and predictably hated the spices (sundried tomatoes and icky green chunks they are!) and wouldn't eat. So, waiter took the pizza back twice till the chef finally had enough of the gormet version out of the dish and we ended up with basically the kid's version. Hey, I warned the waiter.

My guess is they will say no if you ask, so I'd be prepared to discuss whatever you order asking about exactly how the dish is prepared and served and ask them to leave out anything you don't like. Explain that you are nervous about ordering something you might not like and will be sending it back if it is to "out there" for you. The adult free range chicken breast sounds pretty "normal".

By the way, my parents had the halibut and loved it. I had the fillet--it was excellent as were the green beans (haricort vert means french green beans extra yummy) they were served with. Heirloom tomatoes were awesome. It's the one place everyone (except my son) wants to go back to!

Don't hesitate to ask the waiter questions and you should be fine, the food is awesome.
 
Thank you for sharing your experience with CG

Talk with your server, tell him what you are looking for or what you want to avoid. They can make many suggestions or explain items on the menu or help you to customize what you want for dinner

good luck and let us know how it turns out :)
 

hmmm we are on the dining plan so i dont see why they wouldnt do it lol...they are gonna make out better.............hmm I guess ill have to expand my tastes before I get there....Normal for me is plain chicken breast...Most of the time I like my meats on a bun. it stinks bc i love the experience of nicer restaurants but always leave hungry. Thanks for your input~!
