Best Kid Friendly Restaurants in Mission Bay / South Beach

Phenomenal experience from the food to the service! I will let the photos speak for themselves but you can tell they put care into the quality of the food and the ambiance of the restaurant

First visit to China Live and what a delight! The perfect execution of the Dim Sum dishes made it a memorable eating experience.

Small plates were, as always, very good. We also ordered a whole steamed trout, which was fine, but not particularly memorable (a far better move would have been to have skipped the trout and gotten three more small plates instead). Also, as an off-menu option offered by our server when we ordered the Misoyaki grilled scallops, we took a caviar accompaniment, which I don't think I would do again (the scallops ($22) were great, while the thumbnail-sized portion of caviar ($15) didn't really elevate the dish that much. Restaurant was also a little bit cold this time, possibly because we were sitting closer to the door than in past visits.

We've only been to the Zuni a few times, but we were longing for their hamburgers and shoestring potatoes. As usual, they did not disappoint us. We ate them and had a sidecar as well, The sidecar was new to us, and very enjoyable. So was the Gateau Victoire -- a rich chocolate cake with whipped cream. We also had a port with dessert. All wonderful. There are many other things on the menu, which I'm sure are also wonderful. We'll go back to try them out.

We wish someone explained that the only way to order is by QR code on the table. Once ordered, items came quickly but no other service provided throughout the meal. Pay on line and leave. Only 2 points of contact—seating you at the table and bringing food to the table. No one checks on tables. Wanted more napkins but no one is actually waiting on tables. Seems to be the system in place, not an issue with the wait staff. Staff was friendly.
