We dined on the patio for lunch. The area is enclosed on three sides and the roof. It was quite comfortable and the traffic noise was not intrusive. Service was excellent. Attentive, timely and very friendly. The food, southern-style with a Louisiana touch, was really good. The portions just the right size. The four of us all had multiple different choices so it was a good test of the lunch menu. Everything was very tasty. This is the kind of neighborhood cafe that could easily become a habit. We will definitely return.
