The Scene
Ferns, flickering gas lights and fountains adorn the patio; inside is more like a tavern, with dark wood and framed newspaper clippings that reinforce the restaurant's theme. The expansive patio is the big draw, especially after work and late night. Midweek, the crowd is a mix of loosened ties and little-black-dress dates, while weekends draw the work hard, play harder crowd.
The Draw
People come here for the cocktails and hearty Cajun-style fare. A make-your-own-bloody-mary bar beckons weekend revelers with an enormous array of hot sauces, spices, olives and mixers. While drinks are flowing freely, you can fill your belly on generous portions of po'boys, fried appetizers, seafood gumbo, burgers and crab cakes. Sunday brunch is also popular with omelettes and heaping sides like andouille sausage, bacon and grits.

The food is very good here. Nothing spectacular but it is a great place to go for brunch. A very good idea for a weekend morning with the friends. Also has a fun patio!

I live for the sunday morning we feel like being slightly indulgent. we'll head over to Front Page News and have bloody marys on the back deck, in front of the fireplace.. and just cycle through the menu. eggs, bacon, artichoke dip.. what ever we want- we can normally find it on the menu. fun, relaxing...good menu. highly recommend it.

What to Drink:
Try the Blanche martini. Made with Smirnoff Apple, Stoli Vanil, Apple Pucker, ButterShots and Razzmatazz, it's sure to bring back your Southern drawl.
When to Go:
The weekend build-your-own-bloody-mary bar is legendary. But feel free to sleep in on Sunday since local law prohibits alcohol sales until noon.
The Extras:
Front Page News boasts more than 200 hot sauces. Don't see your favorite? Tell the staff and it'll be added to the wall.
