If you haven't yet had your fill of restaurant-themed time management simulations - such as the Diner Dash, Cake Mania or Turbo games - then don your apron and get cooking with Family Restaurant.
You play as the young Jenny, who watches her family business fall from a decent 3-star restaurant to a 1-star dive - and you're now asked by your father to help turn it into a 5-star joint. If you're up for the challenge you'll begin with a quick lesson on how to whip up an ordinary salad, but by the time you're through in the kitchen (of multiple restaurants) you'll master plenty of elaborate recipes - even your own creations.
Not unlike the Cooking Mama games for the Nintendo Wii and DS, Family Restaurant lets you play chef as you prepare dishes for customers, and they must be completed within a predetermined amount of time. Patrons sit down at a table and place their order to the waiter or waitress, and you see a dish appear at the bottom of the screen. Clicking on it changes the view to a close-up of your kitchen counter, an image of what you're supposed to make in the top-left corner of the screen and your ingredients underneath. For example, it might be a grilled sea bass with vegetables, so you prepare the dish as close to the picture as possible by using your mouse to dress up the plate. When you're done you'll be awarded points based on how closely you copy the dish.
Similarly, an ice cream dessert recipe might include two side-by-side scoops of strawberry ice cream, topped with whipped cream, cherries and a graham cracker on top. Follow it as close as possible - and finish it within the time allotted - and you'll do just fine.
In many cases you need to cook the dish, too, such as putting a margarita pizza in the oven for 10 seconds after preparing the sauce and toppings. If you take it out of the over before the timer is at zero you'll be penalized, just as you will if you keep it in the oven too long and let it burn the cheese. You'll also be able to throw some french fries and chicken wings in a deep fryer, but you also have to keep an eye on them so they don't get too well done...

Review from: Casual Game Today
Family Restaurant Game once was a very good dining room, has recipes and 3 stars appraisals which the visitors most loves. But along with the senior chef's age increase, starts not to be able to adapt this quick rhythm work, appeared very many has wrongly been mad the visitor, also caused the dining room only to 1 star. Now Jenny will be responsible for the ingredients as the dining room new chef, will let us help her to restore the dining room the human spirit, and will achieve 5 stars standards!
The Family Restaurant Game used the color to be fresh, line smooth 2D picture. The Q version character modelling has the extremely lovable cartoon effect, along with game carrying on, many dining rooms environment not only can change finely, each kind of good food and the cooked food graph also draws up clearly is lifelike.
The coordinate game illusion child interest subject, displays the background happy melody also is full of the energy, can cause your mood during game also to change bright...
