Restaurants for Kids' Birthdays
Feb 2009
When I was growing up we always celebrated birthdays at Farrells Ice
Cream Parlour and we loved it! Now I'm looking for a local
restaurant or ice cream venue that offers table service and really
fun birthday recognition (bells & whistles, singing at your table,
hat to wear, general hoopla, etc) for my own kid. Any ideas?

Sounds like you want Fenton's on Piedmont Ave (as I'm sure a million
other people will tell you as well!).
Hi. A few years ago we took our 2 year old for his birthday to Cafe
Gratitude (on Shattuck). It happened to be their opening day, which
meant the place was really hectic, but I imagine it has calmed down
since. We told them it was his birthday, and when the dessert came
out about 20 people came out to sing to him. Not sure if they still
do that, but it was fun. My recollection is that is an organic,
vegetarian place, so I'm not sure if that suits your tastes.
I, too, miss Farrell's, especially when my parents caved into our
request for the ''zoo'' mega ice cream bowl.

Have you considered Fenton's Creamery?
Love it
Fentons is pretty close to Farrells, and CPK is a good family place.
Hi. I didn't see your original post but a couple of ideas for
kid's party in a restaurant are:
Hana Japan restaurant... they cook the food in front of you,
doing tricks and all and bring out a great b-day candle/dessert
etc. little kids, older kids and adults love it!
also, Chevy's in Emeryville, ... alot of the staff come out and
sing happy birthday in Spanish, give the birthday person a straw
hat to take home etc. cute..
have fun!

I was planning to celebrate my son's fifth birthday with a dinner at
T.J.'s Gingerbread House in Oakland and I heard it has closed.
I am looking for recommendation for a similar place where a few adults
and couple of children can have a nice dinner and interesting
experience a at same time.
