Every Sunday, my husband and I go out for brunch, but again baby friendliness always makes our establishment choices limited. As we were rattling off places we could go, my husband had an epiphany. "Why not Bear Rock Cafe?" he asked. It was perfect, except it's JC Fireside Bistro (I miss the old name, Bear Rock Cafe, which is why I wanted to eat there in the first place...We call our daughter "little bear"). If you haven't eaten there before, the food is ALWAYS quality and quickly served! But this isn't a review of the food, rather of the baby-friendliness of the establishment. Here goes:
Scale 1- 5, 1=poor, 5=awesome
Stroller Accessibility: 5 A very wide walk up counter aisle to order food at. Tables and booths are so spread out that you could easily get a twin stroller through that place!
Dirty Diaper Changing: 4 Both bathrooms have a wide handicap accessible stall with a changing table and that makes this place awesome. HOWEVER, the bathrooms are really cold making "open air accidents" a probability.
Family Friendly Environment: 5 While I rarely see kids in here Sunday afternoons, there are several high chairs available and the changing tables in the bathrooms indicate family-friendly. The crowd at JC's is laid back; and it accomodates large parties with extra long booths and tables. (You could easily get the car seat in the booth with you if they ran out of high chairs)
Nursing Possibilities: 5 Who wouldn't want to nurse on a cozy chair in front of their fireplace? I'm guessing since the Nursing Mothers Alliance meets there, they've tested to see if it's pro-boob. There are also some tables in the back by the bathrooms that are out of view of the restaurant if you wanted to be more discreet.
So there you have it! It's incredibly baby-friendly and just a hop, skip and a jump to the KOP mall (and Babies R Us)!
