re: Nice, kid-friendly restaurants in NOLA

I think Domenica downtown would work, also, but I believe it's closed for a week or two for some renovations, so check the date it's going to be open again.

Ye Olde College Inn would work also. It's casual and we enjoyed our meals there very much. I saw a number of families with kids in there.

I've seen plenty of kids in Arnaud's if you go traditional old New Orleans. They love the souffleed potatoes.

I agree that if you're in a loud restaurant, you're fine. If one of them gets too cranky, you simply have to step outside. The other option is to find a sitter for them if the adults want to have a meal without the kids.
