Family-Friendly Restaurants in the Bay Area

Finding a good family-friendly restaurant in the San Francisco Bay Area is as important to locals as it is to tourists. I have a round-up of suggestions here. Please add your own!

Red Tricycle published a great list of family-friendly dining. Read it here.

(**Win a family 4-pack of tickets to the Mary Poppins musical**)

And they published a list of other dining options, including Kids Eat Free and Fancy Dining.

Kids eat free here in the Bay Area.

On one of the listserves I'm on, someone asked about the best family-friendly fancy restaurants in San Francisco and Marin. Here's the list. Agree? Disagree? Have your own recommendation - especially to add Peninsula/South Bay and East Bay options. Please comment!
