OUR FAVORITES
California Bistro at the Four Seasons Aviara
Now this one gets our AAAproval! Not only was the staff extremely courteous and accommodating, but they even have plastic kid’s plates, kid’s utensils, and cups to go along with a well rounded children’s menu. The room is light and airy, and very casual. For a nice night out with the kids, this comes highly recommended. 7100 Four Seasons Point, Carlsbad California U.S.A. 92011 1(760) 603-6800

Applebee’s
A basic kids menu with healthy sides. Drinks are served in a special Applebee's Kid's Cup with lid.

The bar can be loud at times… ask to be seated away from the bar. http://www.applebees.com/
