Seems like you'd be looking in McLean or Falls Church. Maybe J Gilberts? I haven't been there for dinner in a long time but the brunch always has a ton of kids. If you want really casual, I have heard that Pietanza is very family friendly. I haven't ever been there. There's Mad Fox, though I don't think their food is that great. Some others that come to mind: Coastal Flats or Brio in Tysons, Wildfire in Tysons 2, Clydes, Sakura (japanese steakhouse - always fun for kids). There are so many restaurants - can you narrow down what you're looking for? And how far from Roden Shalom you're willing to go? It's in a pretty residential area.
