A Dinner Date with Childcare?
While it might sound “too good to be true,” the owners of Host Utica, Michael and Andrea, have done just that. As parents of 2 young boys they know just how important it is to have uninterrupted meal time to reconnect with your partner. Which is why they offer a Parent’s Night Out every Tuesday – Thursday from 5pm – 10pm. So how does this work:
- Reservations required 1 day before you plan to dine to ensure adequate staffing
- Cost: $8 for 1.5 hours per child. An additional $3 per child for every 30 minutes after the initial 1.5 hours
- Parents MUST remain on site and will be notified to change children who are not potty trained
- Activities provided
- Limited kids menu available to send food up to children
