He was on his best behavior in such a grown-up restaurant and the selection of 3 salsas brought to our table made a big impression! We've also eaten at Chipotle, which has great food, but standing in line at lunch time is tougher with preschoolers. Best to go after the rush; the service couldn't be quicker.

And we have had good experiences at just about everyplace we went so long as we arrived early enough in the evening. Understandably, the patience of both servers and fellow diners is tested by the extra accommodations demanded by the 7-and-under set. Z’Tejas has been great!

It's not geared for children, but they were friendly and accomodating. Our absolute favorite place with kids is just North of downtown, on Bellevue Way. Sushi in Joy has great sushi, and their tatami tables are ideal for family dining. Want your teriyaki boneless and skinless, with no sauce? No problem. They fawn over the kids--in a nice way.

We know to ask for the goldfish while we wait! On a couple of occasions, we've gone "white tablecloth" at Andiamo...their staff was very welcoming, and the girls felt very special being the only children there. The girls were up to the challenge and behaved wonderfully!
