i agree that chains are more convenient for families with young kids. However, my wife and I have been training our kids (6 and 4) on how to eat at more 'fancy' restaurants, with no crayons and without giving them our phones to play with. Hopefully this will teach them manners and how to be gentlemen when they eventually do these on their own.
So far they have done well in Fogo de Chao (a chain but at least an upscale one), Peter Luger (yes, Brooklyn), and Cardamom Hill.
