Thanks asking this. Just outside dc in chevy chase md is meiwah. they have big round tables we love. They might be better for a little older kids but 4 year old loves it. they give fun straws to the kids and are quick. they are also excellent for delivery of food. try the salt (spiced) shrimp - my favorite.

Yamazato in Alexandria -- decent sushi, very yummi rolls. MY DC likes the gyoza, rice and miso soup.

Clyde's gives the kids toys and crayons.

Tortilla Coast on Capitol Hill is super nice and has crayons.

Bertucci's in Clarendon is very family friendly and also has crayons. Ton of families there. After dinner, the kids can play in the playground outside the restaurant or go over to Barnes and Noble and play at the train table.

Neisha's in Tenleytown in great. We often go there with our 9 month old and the waiters are great with kids (they actually come to our table to play with the baby), the service is fast and the food is excellent. The best thing is that on Saturday nights they have live music and my husband and I get the feel of a real date

1. Hank's Oyster Bar in Dupont Circle - close to Nat'l Geographic frog exhibit. Giant boxes of Goldfish crackers. Good bloody marys. Amazing lobster roll and fried shrimp.

2. Urbana in Dupont at Palomar Hotel. Seriously - if you want non-spaghettie Italian, it's in a hotel so they're used to families, have high chairs, good brunch, and not super costly last time we went. Especially if you go off hours (meaning before it flips to a night spot). Every time we've been with toddler twins, it's been such a nice break. The hotel is "dog-friendly" if you're out on a walk and want to grab wood oven pizza (appetizer size) and some Italian wine.

3. Malaysia Kopitiam at 19th & M. Next to a strip club, but don't let that deter you. YUMMY! More of a beer than wine place, but nice change of cuisine. Get Peggy's Cutlet. Also Burma in Chinatown has tasty alternative to traditional chinese food.

4. Leopold's in Cady's Alley in G'town. Honest! Sure, it's near all the swanky design shops, but they are SO nice with families. Skinny french fries, pastries, salad, Austrian entrees (schnitzel!), outdoor patio, low maintenance decor (we've left many a mess without complaints or sneers). There always seem to be at least one stroller - or 5 in summer - and quite a few highchairs. WINE LIST ROCKS. And the elderflower martini. And the spaetzle. (Can you tell I like it?)
