LA Eastsiders: where are we taking the whole family (in our case, a one year old and a five year old) out to dinner lately? We are loud, we’re eating early, and we’re bringing craft supplies.

Summer Rolls: If you’re willing to drive out to SGV, Summer Rolls rules. Super kind and patient staff, indoor and outdoor seating, GREAT food and family friendly. Plus Sunmerry Bakery in the same plaza has amazing egg tarts for $1.50, we take our 1.5 year old at least 1x a month!

Thee Elbow Room: If you can make it up to Montrose, Thee Elbow Room is a bar with a lovely outdoor area, surprisingly good food, and satisfying beer list. Parking is nearby and free and it's a relaxed environment so the kids can be kids and no one will care. Saw a couple there with a dog and tiny baby when my son (7) and I dropped in for lunch and soccer yesterday afternoon.

Kiez Küche & Beer Garden on York: They’re good with kids & big groups and chill about almost everything except being late for your reservation, from what I’ve observed. Extra rec for the spicy chicken schnitzel sandwich.
