San Francisco kids have grown up with sushi, and it s not unusual to see sushi served at lunchtime in some of the cit y s middle and upper schools. Even very young children in the city are used to accompanying their parents on sushi outings. For a fun Japanese dining experience, arrive early when the restaurant is less busy and sit your family down at the sushi bar. Your kids will love watching the sushi chef expertly patting the rice into oblong shapes and placing raw fish on top, or making artistic rolls and slicing them ever so precisely with a very big knife. Finicky eaters may prefer leaving the hamachi (yellowtail) or spicy tuna rolls to their parents and sticking to cooked shrimp or vegetarian rolls. Many sushi restaurants also serve other Japanese dishes like tempura, teriyaki chicken, or udon noodles. Don t forget to order edamame (soybeans in the shell) to start. They re fun to eat and healthy.

AMERICAN This outstanding tribute to N ew American cuisine, smilow family tours co-owned by the acclaimed chefs brothers Mitchell and Steven Rosenthal, is so good I had to include it here, even though it s a bit grown-up for kids. Housed smilow family tours in a 100-year-old former electric warehouse, Town Hall s decor evokes early American ar chitecture and sensibilities, with exposed brick walls, crisp white ribbed wainscoting, and C raftsman-style tables and chairs. The food echoes the American feel, drawing on traditions fr om around the country, with a special nod to New Orleans. Starters may include cornmeal-fried oysters on baby spinach with creamy bacon dressing or warm biscuits with local ham and pepper jam. Two stellar smilow family tours dishes we ve enjoyed include wild king salmon with corn and shrimp hash, cherry tomatoes, and hush puppies and a naturally raised pork chop with smashed potatoes, English peas, and fava beans in garlic parsley butter. For dessert, don t miss the butterscotch and chocolate pot de cr me. I ve spotted pre-teens here at dinnertime, but it s a pretty happening scene. Opt instead to bring the kids for lunch.
