Child-Friendly Restaurants

The Waldorf Astoria's dining choices are geared more towards an adult palate. Their showcase restaurant, Twist, is haute French cuisine by Michelin-starred Chef Gagnaire, but the hotel's website advertises special kid's menus available upon request at each restaurant. Unlike many other resorts, menu previews and opening hours are not available on the Waldorf Astoria's website. In-room dining is available 24 hours a day.

Zen Kitchen is a unique blend of Asian cuisine prepared by specially-trained chefs alongside classic American favorites for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Tea Lounge

Tea Lounge has a special menu designed just for children, as well as vegan and gluten-free options. They request 24 hours' notice for both the kids' menu and the vegan and gluten-free menu.

Luckily, there are plenty of family-friendly dining options within easy walking distance, like Fatburger, Shake Shack, Bruxie Original Fried Chicken & Waffles, Chili’s, Tamba Indian Cuisine, and more.
