New York, New York - September 18, 2013 - Adventurous young foodies can now dig into the new Precocious Plates menu offered at signature restaurants across the Loews Hotels & Resorts brand. Designed with adventurous eaters in mind (ages 12 and under), the new program at Maritana Grille (Loews Don CeSar ), Cafe Adelaide (Loews New Orleans) and Ocean & Vine (Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel) is the perfect solution for young people who want to experience new dishes, but in a kid-friendly portion.

“Loews Hotels is continuously looking for ways to appeal to all of our customers, whether they are 5 or 50 years-old, with cuisine that's relevant, distinct and approachable,” said Mark Weiss, Senior Vice President of Food Beverage. “Precocious Plates is designed to extract great flavors from simple, delicious dishes and gives children the opportunity to have the same elevated dining experience as their parents.”

The Precious Plates menus offer half portions of participating restaurants' most popular dishes, creating food experiences for kids similar to their foodie parents. Favorite dishes include; Kobe Short Rib at Maritana Grille, Shrimp and Grits at Cafe Adelaide and the Tarragon Tiger Shrimp with Lobster Risotto at Ocean & Vine.

“Typically kids' menus cater to picky eaters and cover basics like chicken fingers and hamburgers, but kids with a healthy appetite and an adventurous palate shouldn't have to feel left out,” said Executive Chef Keith Roberts at Ocean & Vine. “This is our solution.”
