Hot New Restaurant in Laurel Heights
I don’t know if you’ve heard, but Kinderant, located at 3839 Washington Street, is the new place to be seen and to enjoy a delicious late lunch, whether you select the delectable macaroni and cheese or the wonderful homemade vegetarian chili, you won’t be disappointed (although you may get the chili when you order the mac & cheese.) And be sure to try the delicious cookies for dessert.
You will likely be greeted at the door by the polite and business-like coat checker, who will gladly take your coat (and he’ll give it back after you dine, if you don’t lose your ticket!) Then prepare to be ushered in to a cheerful little bistro, with flowers on the tables, brightly 
colored table cloths, and gentle but lively music playing in the background.
Kinderant attracts a young crowd, but occasionally some older patrons, usually local teachers, can be seen enjoying their meals and chatting about the challenges of recess duties, surprise fire drills, and waiting for the adult bathroom to free up.
The wait staff is also a bit on the young side, as are the chefs, hosts, servers, bussers and dishwashers, but they do their jobs efficiently and with charming smiles. They don’t spill much and plates are only dropped on rare occasions. The help is clearly quite concerned with your impressions and may stand very close and watch you as you take your bites and chew.
Kinderant, the latest dining venture by Shericka Hodges and Steve Manseau certainly brings a new energy and spark to the world of kindergarten restaurants (and progressive education!) One word of warning: the parking can be a challenge.
