I don't think that having a child compels you to only eat at "family" restaurants. I think that there's a happy medium between 5 star restaurant and Chucky Cheese or fast food. We take our two year old daughter to nice restaurants whenever we go out to eat. They aren't 5 star restaurants, but they are nice, have a wine list, etc. Our daughter speaks at a lower volume than most adults I know. She is better behaved than many adults I know. If she acts up or gets loud, we take her outside immediately. If we did take our daughter to a "family" restaurant, we would expect the same good behavior.
That said, I wouldn't take my daughter to a fancy, intimate restaurant. Nor would I take her to a bar.
