The Fish Market

"Yes, You Can Have Seafood and Bring Your Children Too"

When I'm craving a delicious piece of fish and have no babysitter, this is where my family heads for dinner. The fish is fresh and delicious. The atmosphere is kid-friendly (loud enough that noisy children are accepted). The service is accommodating and pleasant. There are kids' menus with crayons, and when they tire of that, take them for a walk to watch the chefs grilling fish on a huge spinning grill over a blazing fire (behind glass, mind you).

This place strikes a nice balance between what parents want (a nice relaxing dinner with maybe a glass or wine or two) and what kids need (a stimulating environment where kids are welcomed). Plus, for seafood in California, the pricing is quite reasonable.
