Little Diner’s Crew is a dining club for kids between the ages of 4-12. We expand kids palates beyond mac-n-cheese and chicken fingers. Each month LDC hosts a unique dining experience at a different restaurant that allow kids to travel the world through food. Kids interact with chefs, taste different cuisines, rate each dish, learn how food is prepared, and appropriate dining etiquette.

Every Dish Tells A Story
Little Diner’s Crew is heading to Marina’s Bistro for an unforgettable culinary journey to the beautiful island of Puerto Rico!
Our Crew will discover that every meal has a story. At Marina’s Bistro, food is more than something we eat—it’s a celebration of family, heritage, culture, and community. This chef-driven kitchen honors generations of Puerto Rican tradition through authentic recipes, fresh local ingredients, and a passion for sharing the flavors that have brought families together for centuries.
During this exclusive experience, kids will enjoy a specially curated multi-course menu while learning about Puerto Rico’s rich culinary traditions, the ingredients that make its cuisine unique, and the history behind each dish.
Join us as we celebrate the spirit of Puerto Rican hospitality—where every seat at the table is an invitation to connect, every dish carries a memory, and every bite brings us closer to understanding another culture.
Eat. Travel. Explore.
We can’t wait to see you there!
Kids Restaurant Week™ Was a Success
A Flavor-Filled First Year to Remember
From May 3–7, Little Diner’s Crew proudly partnered with Lettuce Entertain You to launch the first-ever Kids Restaurant Week™—a one-of-a-kind culinary experience created to inspire young diners to explore the world through food.
Over five delicious days, families joined us for immersive dining experiences at five different Lettuce restaurants, each showcasing a unique cuisine and cultural experience. Our young food explorers traveled from America to Spain, Japan, France, and Italy—all without leaving the table.
Each child received a custom Kids Restaurant Week passport, which became their official ticket to culinary adventure. At the end of every experience, passports were stamped to commemorate each new cuisine explored—turning every meal into a memorable milestone.
This inaugural week was more than a series of meals—it was the beginning of what we hope becomes a beloved annual tradition for families seeking meaningful culinary experiences.
A huge thank you to our partner, Lettuce Entertain You, the participating restaurants, chefs, and every family who joined us for this exciting first chapter.
We can’t wait to see what’s on the menu for next year.
