Our new hood has no shortage of restaurants, but a recent visit to Stepping Stone Cafe merited a mention of a place to go with kids. Reason no. 1: they had a bucket of toys that had just been put through the dishwasher -- squeaky clean (you may not be this lucky). Reason no. 2: good eats made with clean, local food, lots of organics but plenty of fried treats if you want them. We had the wilted spinach salad and a chicken dinner with mashed potatoes both dishes were good if a bit salty (one of us loves salt). Reason no. 3: they were really very nice, even with our kids vacillating at top speed between pout and party (dinner time sugar level plummet). We will be back for their happy hour specials that coincide perfectly with afternoon snack time (3-6) and feature half price appetisers including black bean chili cheese fries, quesadilla, and homemade hummus. (all under $3.50)It is funky, old-style black and white with red and chrome, interesting art on the walls and be warned, they sell thong bikinis and stay open till the wee hours serving drinks. But if you are ever in the alphabet blocks and reach Q, stop.
