Oysters Rock Hospitality is proud to announce that Anna Maria Oyster Bar and Café on St. Armands are officially participating in the National Restaurant Association’s Kids LiveWell® program, joining 37 restaurant brands representing nearly 75,000 locations across the country.
For us, this is more than a new addition to our menus. It’s an exciting milestone that reflects something we’ve believed in since the beginning: families are at the heart of everything we do. Whether it’s a weeknight dinner, a special celebration, or a family vacation, we want guests of all ages to feel welcome, enjoy great food, and make memories together.
What Is Kids LiveWell?
Led by the National Restaurant Association, Kids LiveWell is a voluntary, nationwide program designed to make it easier for families to find delicious, nutritionally balanced meals when dining out.
Every qualifying Kids LiveWell menu item undergoes an independent review by registered dietitians to ensure it meets science-based nutrition standards. These standards consider calories, sodium, saturated fat, added sugars, and the inclusion of important food groups such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, dairy, and protein sources.
Participating restaurants must offer at least two qualifying kids’ meals and two qualifying sides, along with default beverage options such as water, milk, or 100% fruit or vegetable juice.
The goal is simple: give parents more choices they can feel good about while ensuring kids still get to enjoy food they love.
A Commitment Worth Making
Becoming part of Kids LiveWell didn’t happen overnight. Our teams worked through an extensive review process, carefully evaluating menu items, recipes, and nutritional information to meet the program’s requirements.
It was a significant undertaking, but one that aligns with our commitment to the families who have supported Anna Maria Oyster Bar and our growing Oysters Rock Hospitality family over the years.
“Families have always been at the heart of Anna Maria Oyster Bar, and being part of Kids LiveWell reflects our commitment to making dining out something parents can feel good about and kids can enjoy. We’re proud to offer choices that help families eat well while still delivering what we’re all about: great food, genuine hospitality, and Five Star Fun.”
— Eleni Sokos, Executive Vice President, Oysters Rock Hospitality
More Delicious Choices for Our Youngest Guests
As part of our participation in Kids LiveWell, we’re excited to highlight additional balanced options for children at both of our participating restaurant brands.
At Anna Maria Oyster Bar, we’ve added grilled chicken and salmon bites, giving our youngest seafood lovers and their families even more choices.
At Café on St. Armands, Kids LiveWell offerings include grilled chicken, green beans, yogurt, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and fruit cups.
These offerings are part of our larger kids’ menus, which continue to feature a variety of other favorites. Kids LiveWell simply makes it easier for families to identify options that meet the program’s verified nutritional standards.
Making Balanced Dining Easier Nationwide
Our participation comes at an exciting time for Kids LiveWell. The National Restaurant Association recently launched a new consumer-friendly website at KidsLiveWell.com, designed to help busy families find participating restaurants and explore their qualifying menu options in one convenient place.
With the program growing to 37 restaurant brands and nearly 75,000 locations nationwide, families can now discover Kids LiveWell choices at everything from locally owned, full-service restaurants like ours to some of the nation’s largest restaurant chains.
Using the website’s Good Food Finder, parents and caregivers can explore participating brands, view qualifying menu offerings, and learn more about the nutritional standards behind the program.
It’s all about making informed choices easier without taking away the fun of dining out.
Great Food, Happy Kids, and Five Star Fun!
At Oysters Rock Hospitality, we believe great dining experiences should bring families together. Kids LiveWell gives us another opportunity to deliver on that promise by offering more balanced choices alongside the genuine hospitality and Five Star Fun our guests know and love.
We’re grateful to the teams who helped bring this initiative to life and proud to be part of a nationwide effort to make family dining even better.
