However, in hindsight, we probably shouldn't have done this the first night. The meal was pre-fix and served in coursed, which wasn't ideal for our hungry, cranky kids.  We did our best to entertain them and we were able to make it to fireworks time- which we watched from the restaurant's rooftop deck.
