About

Cajun, Italian and Mediterranean-style dishes in a family-friendly East End spot with live music on weekends.

The menu blends Cajun classics such as jambalaya with comforting pastas and Mediterranean bites. Live music fills weekends at the restaurant, and crawfish boils spill into the parking lot. Reservations are recommended for weekends, though walk-ins are welcome.
