Giggles N' Hugs restaurant in West L.A. offers food and fun for families

Diners who have visited a regular restaurant with their toddlers -- not one that serves Happy Meals, in other words -- only to resolve never again to dine out with children, may want to check out Giggles N' Hugs, a new indoor playroom and restaurant . . . if they can get past the insufferably cute name. The play area features a beauty corner, a large Play-Doh area and various vehicles for peddling and scooting around. The menu includes salads, sandwiches, pizza and pasta. And some items can be ordered "tricky treat" style, meaning with covert vegetables, such as mac and cheese with puréed butternut squash. 11701 Wilshire Blvd. No. 11, West L.A., (310) 478-4847
