If you love steak, Cav's Steakhouse is my first choice. It's not too expensive, you choose your own steak for the chef to cook. They do seafood as well.
A large playroom for the kids.

It's not really a restaurant, it's a fish and chips takeaway and seafood market. They do provide some outdoor eating area. I do not recommend eating there as the tables and bench are often dirty.
However, it's one of the best seafood market, we get our fish and chips there on the way home after a great day at The Spit.
