most places will accomodate you. You could go to Mitchell's steakhouse and a child would be fine on a Tuesday. it depends if you want to walk to the theatre after the meal(eating downtown) or travel(eating in short north or german village)
the spaghetti warehouse is nearby and prolly the most kid friendly in the downtown area.

Unfortunately mood swings can play a big factor for behavior in a two year old on a day to day (or hour to hour) basis. Hopefully he's good. :D
One other thing we've noticed in dining out with a child is that places with high barstool-style seating can be tricky with a small child. Most places will have a variety of seating available, but if it's a busy night, you might have to wait for a booth at a place like Tip Top.
Have fun! :D

What makes those places not family friendly? I have seen kids at Tip-Top on more than one occasion and the Elevator is pretty laid back so I can't see what the problem would be with a kid there either. If you're kid is going to throw rolls at me I would rather him not be in the restaurant. If you have to wear a jacket it's probably not kid friendly, besides that I don't see the point really. I am assuming someone taking the time to ask what restaurants are family friendly has a kid that doesn't throw rolls.

Good proximity to the theater, but not family friendly.
I'd say all four of those places are fine. Hell, Latitude 41 has a kids menu. Others should be more than willing to make kitchen accommodations. We've taken our kiddo to Tip Top plenty of times, and it seems like most of the folks working there enjoy seeing a child in attendance.
Most people with kids try to eat early as to not be a nuisance during the standard dinner crowd. But that doesn't mean that you have to resign yourself to Chuck E Cheese and McDonald's.
Just because you don't see a lot of children eating at restaurants in/around downtown doesn't mean they are not welcome there.

The staff at Tip Top is pretty accommodating to children of all ages...

-- just what I was thinking - unfortunately, with a two year old, mood tends to be all over the place...
Still, we've taken ours to Latitude 41 and Tip Top before, and both worked out fine. Latitude 41's kids menu has some stuff that's a nice change from the typical chicken nuggets, mac & cheese and pizza fare.
