Dining out with kids

I am stealing this list of kid-friendly restaurants from the Seattle Urban Adventures meet-up group. It's always nice to have some ideas for all parts of the city (though it's not categorized by neighborhood; perhaps if I get really ambitious I might do that...) I left out the national chains because there are few of those that are kid-unfriendly. I've put an asterisk by ones that Evan and I would personally recommend.

Mio Posto in Mt Baker is great, and the park is right across the street!

Spiro's in West Seattle is good with kids. Never been to the one in Shoreline.
