    The list of kid friendly restaurants from Urban Spoon is somewhat deceptive. I live in Charleston ad found this website because we were just trying to find someplace new to go. I saw this list on Urban Spoon and have NO IDEA what criteria they could possibly be basing their rankings on. Magnolia, Slightly North of Broad, FIG, High Cotton, Coast… these are all restaurants that are very good, don’t get me wrong, but kid friendly would definitely not be in the top 100 descriptors that would cross my mind. :/
