Really? It's one of the more formal places on this list. Have you been there? It's not an actual diner...

The kids will be fine. When did we stop taking kids to restaurants? Please teach kids to behave. (Yes I have kids).

It’s the restaurant AFTER the funeral at which they’ve already been asked to hold it together for a long time. One or the other is manageable but a funeral followed by a long sit down lunch is a lot to ask of younger kids. Some can do it, a lot can’t, depending on how old they are. That’s a long day of sitting and behaving and shutting up.

Clyde’s
Sfoglina in Van Ness (has kids menu and I see kids there all the time).

Cielo rojo

Formal and moderately priced/kid friendly is a hard combo.

The latter category includes Clyde’s, Uncle Julio’s, Maggianos.

Where’s the funeral?

I think you should narrow down the location. If you feel like it could be Rockville or DC, that means someone is going to be driving a really long way.

Clyde’s

I would go to Clyde’s in Chevy Chase.

Lia’s
