Winston's Grille For Dinner

Last night was hectic with tennis practice for one child, a basketball game to cheer for with another child and all of us scheduled to attend the school play, so we decided a good half-way point for meeting up would be Winston's Grille.

Dairy free choices: My youngest ordered a simple wedge of lettuce with grilled chicken, no bleu cheese or dressing, just vinegar and oil. My son ordered the whole rack of ribs, plain steamed veggies and a side of fries to replace the side of coleslaw. The wait staff is very considerate about checking ingredients and making notes about the kids' allergies, so we feel comfortable frequenting this restaurant.

After placing our order, the restaurant became pretty busy with large parties. When our food came, the salad was served with a side of bleu cheese dressing that had spilled on top of the lettuce, so had to be returned to the kitchen for a new plate with new lettuce. My son's came with a side of coleslaw, so we exchanged it for the fries we originally asked for. The wait staff was very apologetic and worked quickly to have our order corrected.

Breakfast: We each had a healthy bowl of oatmeal made with almond milk and a glass of orange juice with added calcium.

Lunch: Packed a Boar's Head hickory smoked turkey sandwich on Nature's Own 100% Whole Wheat bread with lettuce, mustard and Duke's mayonnaise, a small container of Minestrone soup, a cup of Dole's diced pears and baby organic carrots.
