"Laissez le bon temps rouler!" at this popular eatery serving up the best of the bayou just upstairs from the Rathskeller bar. You can almost hear Hank Williams singing in your ear about jambalaya, crawfish pie and fillet gumbo as you peruse the menu of country Cajun and city Creole cuisine. Specialty dishes like the spicy andouille sausage and cornbread-stuffed pork chops, blackened catfish, and crab-stuffed portobello on crawfish cream will have you dreaming of steamy nights in the French Quarter. Those in the mood for something really different ought to try the gator, prepared stuffed with crab or pan-fried. Entrees range in price from around $10 to over $20, with the filet mignon and some of the seafood dishes topping the list. Spats also sells a cookbook and jars of its special sauces so you can take the taste of New Orleans home with you.
