Sometimes live music. Three separate areas to eat and drink. Downstairs Plank Bar semi outdoors, the upstairs bar with swing chairs at the bar, the main dining room also with some seating at the bar and large crystal chandeliers. My favorite is the super large pork chop. Enough to share or take home left overs.

Walk through the cemetery side entrance to the other side. Cross the white pedestrian bridge to the restaurant. It is a two story building with red roof. you can call for take out orders too. Grilled red snapper or talapia with shrimp ponchartrain sauce is excellent! So is the seafood gumbo.
