While not kid-friendly in the evening (packed, long waits for tables, lots of sangria drinking), this popular spanish restaurant is excellent for lunch or weekend brunch w/ kids. Great kids menu (only $4) and my kids loved the wiki sticks they got w/ the normal kids menu/crayons. Because this is a tapas restaurant, food comes quickly and throughout your meal, and the smaller portions are great to share with littler ones who don't eat a whole kids meal anyway. Loud enough so that no one notices a cranky toddler and wait staff was very friendly and accomodating for kids. Visit Oz Park right down the block before or after your meal to burn off energy on the large play structure.
