For higher end dining, I stick with La Tapa. There are a lot of other options and the youngsters seem to do a lot better at lunch.

Flashback to good times with babies:

Lime Inn - very friendly staff with owners onsite, a little bit crowded

Morgans Mango - Harrison Ford waving at my 5 month old, we got a better table than he did because we had a reservation

Beach Bar - good lunch and burgers on the beach with your feet in the sand, cheap cause the kid eats sand

Cafe Roma - good southern italian food, crowded, I like it better for carryout

Shipwreck Landing - great setting, kitties, banaquits flying about at lunch

Miss Lucy's - on the water with goats and chickens walking about

Island Blues - on the water

Skinny Legs - Splitting a chef salad with my baby, she got the ham and turkey and I got the roughage

Woody's - Don't laugh, at lunch this is a good spot, especially if you get a table outside with an umbrella.

Vicariously enjoying your visit with your 2 year old. Lots of good memories. Don't get me wrong, it's cool when they can carry their own luggage.

Cheers, RickG

Great list, thanks for that.

La Tapa is our favorite...we thought we'd have to get a babysitter for our 2 yr old - perhaps we'll bring him now. Of course, we'll see what our friends who are traveling with us have to say about that.

Go for the earliest dinner seating you can get, usually 5:30. Crash junior will still be snoozing by 7. I've gotten babysitters by referral through the Westin in the past, but I had to do pickup and drop off of the sitter.
