Actually, Molten is brilliant, and not too far from the central city. We've only been there twice in about five years, but we always call it our "favourite"!

ah duh!
sorry read needs to be family friendly ----
in that case - change of recommendation...
I'd recommend....
hmmm good uestion...
orbit - yeah totally...
I don't take the kids to restaurants yet...
if you like Japanese there is a great tepanyaki restaurant inside the stamford plaza hotel - It would be entertaining for you and the kids - we're thinking of taking our daughter there for her 5th birthday -
it's quite a show - throwing food around etc the kids will love it :)

I think Lonestar is a good recommendation, very yummy food, and last time we went with a 7 year old and it was all good! They have a kids menu, so presumably they are fine with the wee ones! My only suggestion is the meals are HUGE!! Think Man-Sized, so if you get a choice, order the smaller meal!! 
Plus (thinking as an Aucklander), parking outside Lonestar in New Market is free after 6pm, which always helps!
You can check it out here.

Prego is really good. It's an Italian Restaurant in Ponsonby and is very child friendly.

La Porchetta would be my pick - they are kid friendly. There's one in Hobson St and one in Parnell.
Eta: and Ponsonby (haven't been to that one though)

I would second Prego - its awesome, and very family friendly. Its got a lovely vibrant "italian family" feel to it! Its not cheap, but not uber-expensive either (for auckland standards). Its just on Ponsonby Rd, so nice and central!
