We had our Thanksgiving dinner at Zinque with 2 small children. They enjoyed every dish. — we ordered the mussels, steak frittes, Japanese sweet potatoes (highly recommend) and blistered green beans (perfectly seared). You got to believe the kids who rated the totality of the dishes 200/100. The dining room offers seating for any type of experience and it is fairly calm for the large open space.

Delicious tapas and paella! There was not one bad dish! The only issue we had was the noise level. We sat outside and there was live music - which was great - but it was played so loud we could not carry on a conversation. We asked the waiter to have them please lower the volume and I think they just cranked it up louder.
