Food Scene
I always try to plan ahead when I come here but most nights you can show up without a reservation and still get seated (though you may have to wait a little). Free Valet parking included with your visit. Authentic Cajun at it's best - and not just food but music upstairs as well!
Try the Etouffee with Andouille Sausage, though honestly everything on the menu is excellent.
