Zengo is delicious with a baby

There are so many restaurants in the Penn Quarter it can be difficult to remember which ones are there when you are hungry.

Last night we went to Zengo for dinner and it made us feel badly we haven't been for so long. We were greeted kindly with a baby and the waiter even brought him some extra chopsticks as a toy and inquired if he wanted or needed anything. At the moment, in this sitting but pre-crawling stage, he is as happy as can be to sit on a wide bench banquette and that is just what he did for the whole meal.

Everything was great. The food, the service, the baby. Highlights were the Thai chicken empanadas, the tuna wonton tacos, the vegetarian roll and the beluga lentils with taro root. Always the discerning customer, Alexander enjoyed the guacamole, lentils and taro root immensely. Since we are just beginning our food journey it was sweet to see him eat.

Zengo is a great place to take kids if they can at least sit still for a bit. The menu is good fun, there are gluten free and vegetarian and vegan menus, and the staff is friendly to children with plenty of high chairs. It won't be long until we are back.
