Headed to NOLA for a few nights to show the kids around. Looking for a few restaurants that are walking distance or quick trolley ride from the hotel, both kid friendly and one place for date night with my wife. We tried to get a reservation at Commanders, but couldn't get anything before 9 pm.

The street car is right outside your hotel and has a pretty good run to restaurant areas. I would take it to the Riverbend area, and get a reservation at Brigtsens for date night. Lebanon cafe is kid friendly and the food is really good. There is also Vincent's on St Charles. Closer to your hotel, you could try Atchafalaya for brunch. Magazine St. is just an Uber away and has a million great places. Osteria Lupo and Le Petit Grocery come to mind if you do that.

Coquette is right down the street from Commander's.
La Petite Grocery further up Magazine.

You could take the streetcar to Soniat Street and walk to Gautreau's. , or Robert Street and La Crepe Nanou.

Clancy's and Brigsten's are two others.
