There are a million restaurants in NW DC -- ethnic cuisines, high end places, the whole works. We've taken ours (7, 4 and 1) to more than I can name.

Unless, of course, you're in the camp that prefers McDonalds and TGIFridays. NW DC has those, too.

This position is ridiculous. Citronelle is not kid-friendly. Nor should it be. Same with Komi and CityZen and lots and lots of other restaurants. Fine for you if you're rude and extravangant enough to take your three kids to places that are "experiences" for other patrons who might want a dinner without crayons and cajoling and video games at any table around them, or you expect a highly trained chef to make a special meal for your kid. Kid-friendly doesn't have to mean mediocre food. It means a place where everyone can be comfortable and have a pleasant, reasonably priced time.

just curious - what do your kids eat at indique heights? I love that place, but even their lentils are very heavily seasoned. Not sure my toddler would go for it, even though he's a pretty good eater.

PS - Nam Viet is the place in CP.

I'm the PP who mentioned Indique Heights. We love to cook and eat, and my kids have always eaten spicy or well seasoned food. They love curries and other spicy stuff.
