Kid-friendly restaurant near 86 St. and Broadway

[Julia]

Three adults and one three-year-old seeking restaurant in the vicinity of 86 St. and Broadway for early dinner and a glass of wine for the grownups. Any suggestions?

Fred's, Amsterdam at 83rd. Very kid friendly (heavy-duty dog theme, pictures of dogs everywhere, etc.) Good home-style comfort food (burgers, salads, mac-and-cheese), kid's menu, unrushed, fireplace in winter -- and a full, and very good, bar. http://www.fredsnyc.com/ For early dinner, check the "twilight menu".

Also French Roast, Broadway and 85th, though it can get frenetic sometimes. http://frenchroastny.com/

Around the corner (85th east of Broadway) is Dean's Pizzeria. Again, very family friendly, great brick oven pizza, perfectly serviceable pastas and salads, good bar. http://www.deansnyc.com/

How could I forget to mention Fred's? Good call. I do like their mac n cheese too (we like to order it for the table and share). And they do very good salads.

Five Napkin Burger on Bway at 84th. Good stuff, love their house made pickles.

I have not been but there is also Dean's on 85th, near Bway.

If you're going over to Amsterdam, I'd recommend B. Cafe.

There's Popover @ 87 & Amsterdam. Good hamburgers. Lots of omelets and sandwiches besides daily main courses.
Then there's Arties Delicatessen on B'way in the low 80's. Very kid friendly.
