Fiorella's Cafe for awesome fried chicken and red-beans and rice
Coop's Place (right across from Fiorella's) for fried seafood (http://www.coopsplace.net/)
Eat New Orleans for high quality creole at moderate prices (http://eatnola.com/)
Ali Baba's for an awesome gyro at the end of the night to soak up all the booze. located right off Bourbon.
The bar inside the lobby at Royal Sonesta has some of the best cocktails you can get, and they always have great live jazz.
Johnny's Po-Boys for the best poboy inside the quarter, and they deliver, which is pretty sweet (http://johnnyspoboys.com/)

Outside the quarter:
Commanders Palace. You'll need to make a rez, and probably won't want to take the child, but one of the country's most famous restaurants, and rightfully so, with amazing amazing food, and a very good value considering how much you get. Get the turtle soup fa sho. They also do great cocktails, and they have a really nice brunch. If you go for lunch, they have .25 cent martinis (max 3, lol). One of my favorite restaurants in the south (http://www.commanderspalace.com/).
Parasol's for my favorite po-boy in town (https://www.zomato.com/new-orleans/p...nt-new-orleans)
Willie Mae's Scotch House for what some call the best fried chicken in the country (http://www.yelp.com/biz/willie-maes-...se-new-orleans)
Pho-Orchid for very good Vietnamese (http://pho-orchid.com/)
Cleopatra's for some pretty damn good Middle Eastern food. It's on the westbank. (http://www.cleocuisine.com/)
I liked a restaurant called Upperline better than Commander's Palace. An old woman owns the place and walks around to the tables talking to everyone. Best tasting menu I ever had. I did go for brunch at Commanders Palace and dinner at Upperline so that might have something to do with it. Upperline is very eclectic inside but the food is fantastic. It is actually on Upperline Avenue around the Garden district I think.
