needs ideas for kid-appropriate restaurants

we are going out with friends who have twin 4 year old girls, and my DS who will be almost 4 month old.

i know that they can be kind of rambunctious, but there will be a few adults there so i don't want to go to someplace geared towards kids, just kid-friendly.

any ideas? i am so over chili's right now

ETA: i am in nassau county

Bertucci's
Fridays
Olive Garden
Ruby Tuesdays
PF Changs
Cheesecake
Ayan's shishkabob in the source - there is an area outside the restaurant in the mall so if the kids get noisy there are people walking around and they won't bother anyone. They have a kids menu.
Grand Luxe Cafe
Famous Daves
Cozymels - I take DD there and she always enjoys it
Tin Pan Alley
Ben Kosher Deli

Those are all near the source or Roosevelt field.

In Garden City on Franklin ave - there is Grimaldi's which is family friendly (Pizza place with thin crust pizzas, salads etc).

Laguna Grill - Voted "Most Kid Friendly Restaurant on LI "(I don't think they considered chains but I am not a fan of chains anyway - esp, for adults).
