If ever you are looking for a fun way to spend a lovely summer night out, check out the outdoor movie nights in Downtown Los Altos, CA.  Downtown Los Altos is a treasure on the peninsula. And on every Friday night, beginning June 20th, they will be showing a movie outdoors on Main Street. 

Movies play after dinner time. The street is closed at 6 PM and the movie starts by 8:30.  Some families elect to do picnic dinners. Others may opt for one of the many friendly and wonderful restaurants in the downtown area. My pick it Maltby’s. Located at 101 Plaza North, Maltby’s is one of my favorite peninsula restaurants. And when you add “kid friendly” into the equation, it just may rank # 1. 

In concise form, here is what I love about Maltby’s. First, the service there is fantastic!  Without exception, the wait staff is well trained, competent, and polite. There is a thorough children’s menu. For those with children who are particular when food is concerned, know that your child will be a fan. As an entertainment bonus, Crayons and paper are provided. And C, the food is delicious! I have yet to have a meal that is not well prepared and served in a timely manner. The Chicken Cobb Sandwich is nothing short of casual culinary genius. If anyone if a fan of fries, these will rock your world. Side salads are also a delectable option. And, did I mention that the price is right as well?! 

Lastly, a lovely aspect of Maltby’s is that you can dine outside. You and your family can sit outside, under trees on sidewalk tables that line the restaurant in beautiful Downtown Los Altos. It really is a pleasant experience where everyone goes away happy. My only regret is that they have not opened one in Downtown Menlo Park. Yet? Here’s hoping! Bon Appetit! Enjoy the evening!
