A great little restaurant in Cambridge, that is well known locally, but advertised primarily by word-of-mouth, is Full Moon Cafe. This cafe was originally recommended to us by friends with young kids and is one of our favorite spots when we are meeting other families out. The restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, though closed between the seatings, so it's helpful to check the hours before going (we did learn this the hard way). It is located in Huron Village in Cambridge and street parking is almost always available and convenient. It is also on the bus line.
Full Moon was opened over a decade ago by two moms and features beautiful artwork. There is a small dining room, and tucked back is a little play area for younger children. They have a train table set up with numerous miscellaneous trains, a few trucks to push around, a kitchen set up, and a few other random toys. They also have some books and will bring a bucket of toys to the table for kids to play with. Full Moon is also well equipped with high chairs, kiddie cups, and white paper "tablecloths" to draw on. Changing tables are available in the bathrooms.
The portions are huge, especially the meals brought for toddlers. The menu prices have increased slightly lately, but the food is worth the price, particularly when the kiddies are entertained. The menu is somewhat limited, but vegetarian options are available and there is choice enough (maybe ten selections) for everyone to be satisfied. They also offer a decent selection of beer and wine, are friendly and accommodating. At peak times (think early for dinner hour, like 5:00), on the weekends, the noise level and chaos becomes apparent and some adult facilitation may be needed at the play area. At a quieter time, it can be relaxing and if you are seated near the play area, you can almost pretend that you are at home.
