These days, restaurants everywhere are wising up on kids' menu options. Rather than sticking to just pizza and chicken tenders, chefs are realizing that just because they're children doesn't mean they don't have sophisticated palates. Healthier options are also more prevalent in family restaurants.

Here are some dining options with kid's menus:

Along with the usual mac and cheese and hot dogs, Left Bank in Larkspur, Calif. offers a chic menu of kid-sized grilled salmon and and an American style croque monsieur.

Mai Kai in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. features Bora Bora Beef, Society Island Shrimp, and Captain Cook's Ribs as some of their Polynesian entrees. Steamed rice or pork fried rice, beverage and dessert are included. Kids also get a coloring book, and there's also an evening children's show on Sundays.

The Four Seasons in Chicago has a healthy 'Tween' menu that includes low-fat choices such as tacos with lean ground beef or chicken, grilled chicken breast sandwich, and a turkey burger.

Every Sunday, kids dining at San Francisco's luella have their choice of chicken pot pie, fresh pasta with butter and parmesan and Margherita pizza. Sides of broccoli and cheese, fries, and mashed potatoes can also be ordered for another $2-4.

If Japanese Hibachi is more your kid's thing, Arirang Hibachi in New York's Staten Island has a kid's menu filled with different hibachi dishes (chicken, pork, steak, shrimp). This menu also comes with a shrimp appetizer, soup or salad, vegetables, rice, and ice cream.

GigglesnHugs in Los Angeles offers plenty of healthy options. Parents will be relieved to see organic eggs for breakfast and beet salad for lunch. They even offer a spinach puree as a pizza sauce.
