Sept. 11. Peninsula Prime is unveiling a special dining experience to serve children and adults with sensory sensitivities.

Families and individuals can contact the restaurant in advance, or when they arrive at the host desk, and they will be provided with a free kit that includes earplugs, a stress ball, a puppet, and a fidget spinner, as well as a menu with pictures to ease the experience of ordering. Diners can also request seating in quieter areas of the restaurant to offset noise typically associated with a busy dining environment.

Peninsula Prime employees assemble the kits on site, and guests are welcome to take them home at the end of the meal.

For Robin Gordon, managing partner at Peninsula Prime, creating the unique dining experience is personal. Her adult daughter is autistic, and as a family they have dealt with the challenges some people face while dining out.

“We wanted to make sure that people know we understand some of the difficulties and that we’re happy to support them,” she said.
