Best Restaurant to Bring the Kids

3380 Peachtree Road NE 404-266-1600 http://www.dantesdownthehatch.com If boiling oil and crocodiles don't scream "kid friendly," we don't know what does. Seriously, the hot fondue pots at DANTE'S DOWN THE HATCH might be a safety concern for really little kids, but what could be more fun than cooking your own food and looking at nautical-theme-park-inspired decor? The pirate vibe and life-sized crocodiles should keep the tykes entertained until the cauldrons arrive. less...

There are places that are designed for kids, and then there are places that you feel guilty bringing them. Somewhere in between is WISTERIA, a restaurant with a grown-up vibe and grown-up food, but where the staff is happy to provide a high chair, and even cook your kids some chicken fingers if nothing on the New Southern menu floats their boats. There are no entertainers in giant mice outfits, or rooms full of plastic balls, or even crayons and cute kid’s menus, so this isn’t the place to bring the screamers or the hyperactive set. But when you can’t afford a sitter and you’re sick of pizza, your kids will be treated as people rather than lepers at Wisteria. And you’ll get a dang fine meal as part of the bargain. less...
