Seattle....no chains pls Tue Dec 09 17:46:47 -0800 2008 127179 savvy savorer 1 4234541 Tutta Bella is quite baby and kid friendly.

But places that I like with changing tables and decent food include: Tutta Bella (Previously mentioned) Montlake Ale House (more for the beer selection for the adults than the food but not bad) Front St. Cafe (Issaquah, I live there and now I have a second infant.) Places that are kid-friendly but not necessarily have full amenities like changing tables: Barking Dog Alehouse Collins Pub Rialto (formerly Greenlake, now Fremont) Senor Moose (Ballard) Queen City Grill (Really it's just quiet enough for a baby to sleep but loud enough that a lightly fussy baby can't be heard) Now if you have a sleeper you can expand your horizons a bit and go anywhere that the tables aren't pushed so close that the car seat thingy is in the way. Places that I took my infant but would have bolted as soon as she started crying for the benefit of others: Chandler's (not great but good for out-of-towners wanting seafood) Cafe Campagne Oliver's Twist (not 21+ surprisingly) Zoe Good Luck!

After emailing some of my foodie friends and restaurant owners, I came to the conclusion that most restaurants would not mind the baby as long as he is quiet, with the financial situation and restaurant business slow , people are just happy to have people coming in. Out of respect, I will dine at most places at 5 , before the big crowd comes in. I do want to enjoy life and keep doing it so I will keep going to places that I went to before. I went to Volterra for dinner last week. It was a little quiet but I have to say the baby was okay. I had a bottle on hand and with every little whimper I gave him the bottle. One time he did cry which I took him into the bathroom. The tables next to me were so nice and made sure to tell me that they didn't mind. Note: Volterra has wonderful food and amazing service Anyway thanks to all for the comments........ I can't wait to try Zoe with the baby and Campagne remains to be one of my fav places.
