Naples restaurant with kids
 

Just looking for somewhere new to go with 2 toddlers. They are both 3-years-old and fairly well-behaved, but in the end are still toddlers.

We go to the usual family-friendly places, like Randy's Fishmarket, Michelbob's, Uno's, Flaco's, Joe's Crab Shack, all of the time, and are looking for somewhere new.

I think the Dock at Crayton Cove and Riverwalk at Tin City fit the bill perfectly. Pincher's either near Bonita Beach Road or the new one at Tin City are good too -- and sooooo much better than Joe's!

I'm crazy about PeiWei, the new PF Chang's casual place on Vanderbilt Drive near Airport Road. You order at the counter, take a seat and they bring you your food. Very casual and inexpensive and very little sitting and waiting for your food which is great for toddlers, if they're into "Chinese" like the noodle dishes.

The Watermark caters to kids nicely. During the week they have a magician.

Bha Bha Persian Bistro is nice because they have an outside eating area and the kids can run around with an adult up and down the strip mall until the food arrives.

And that Iguana place on Bonita Beach and 41 has a very nice outdoor waiting area with a bar that the kids can run around in.

I had forgotten that. Thanks kelliebellie for reminding me again why I didn't want to go back there. LOL


I was also going to suggest Macaroni Grill, but after seeing a session on Ellen yesterday about "bad food" and seeing the kid's Double Mac and Cheese at macaroni Grill was about the most unhealthy dish ever created, I decided not to.
1,210 calories 62 g fat 3,450 mg sodium.
No, that sodium figure is NOT a misprint!

:) at the Watermark.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'd been thinking about PeiWei and Watermark, and now have several others to add to the list.

I'm not a big fan of Joe's--but they have a playground. But even with that, I don't plan to go back after only visiting once.
