When you're dining with the kids the definition of a "good restaurant" changes. It can't be too fancy, they need to have some healthy menu choices in smaller portions, and prices matter with more people at the table. Here are some good choices for when you're dining with children, although there are more options than we've listed here. Price ranges quoted are for dinner entrees at time of most recent review. Restaurants that we have reviewed are indicated with " Sea Lions" (for dinner places) or "
Elephants" (for breakfast and lunch spots).
Caffe DiVino (Italian, Music, $10-$25) 7 Sea Lions Their lunch menu has some less expensive items and the casual venue works with kids.
Cibo (Italian, Breakfast & Lunch) NEWLY OPENED! Smaller portions with fresh ingredients make this a good choice for lunch.
Dario's Pizza (Pizza, $14-$18.50) Their seating area is kid friendly.
Fish and Chips of Sausalito (Fast Food, $8) Take your food, walk two blocks to the park by the water and enjoy!
Hamburgers (Lunch only; $6.50 flame-grilled burgers) 7 Elephants Kids of all ages will love watching their food cook on the rotating grill in the front window, and the park across the street is just one of several great places to sit and eat within a block of this narrow gem.
