Great Cajun Food – Combine great cajun food with a beautiful garden patio dining area and you've got one of the best dining spots in Midtown. The food is excellent, the prices reasonable, and the ambience (especially outside) is great. FPN is one of the best cajun restaurants in the city.

A taste of Jazz fest – We just returned from Jazz Fest in NOLA and luckily the party continues in Atlanta. Had a party of five and had a wonderful time and dinner... in fact, too much food but that is the Nawlins way. One of our guests was from N.O. and even he said it was the real deal! Best bets from our table: Tasty Red Beans and Rice, Rich Jambalaya, big chunks of veggies, chicken and sausage and just a hint of tomato, ettoufee, with a bit too much rice and our favorite the jumbo Thibadeaux shrimp. Altogether... a great ... read more

Cajun/Creole Has Gone Downhill – I go here about once a year. Previous visits have been great, but on a recent visit the food was poor. The Thibodeaux Shrimp, usually large and succulent, were overcooked and dry, and the horseradish was nonevident. The red beans and rice, usually very flavorful, was disappointing, with flavorless beans and an overdose of green onion garnish. The jambalaya was very heavy on the tomato flavor, tasting more like tomato paste and rice. Overall, a disappointing visit to what has traditionally bee... read more

A booming Big Easy-style bar scene and a serious Sunday brunch grab headlines on Crescent Avenue. – 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 cocktai... read more

Better with age – I've been coming here since they opened before the olympics in 96 and this place gets better ever year. The newly remodeled patio bar & dining room make the place look new. The new menu is a nice mix of bar food and more upscale items and daily specials and soups can be winners too . The best bartenders in Midtown work here, tip well once and they'll never forget to take care of you. want to watch sports hang out with Larry at the patio bar.

Grew up in NOLA, dine here now – I grew up in New Orleans, uptown and when I miss it and can't face the 8 hour drive I head for Front Page News. The atmosphere is right on, a cross between an Uptown bar and a french quesrter patio. The food is consistantly good, and the New Orleans dishes are authentic not the tabasco covered mess most local restaurants pass off as Bayou food. Atlanta's BEST seafood gumbo and grat Ettoufee are classics but the down and dirty food like the burgers do it for me too. Don't miss the build your b... read more

obsessed... – LOVE FPN MIDTOWN for food and drinks on an off-night. The menu is great, my only negative is that I have so many favorites, I rarely try anything new. There is jambalaya, old school NOLA chow, good blackened chicken salad with about a pound of chicken, delicious gumbo, inventive pasta dishes, yummy aps, etc. Wine list is short but decent, and quite inexpensive. Martinis and special drink list is fun and reasonably priced. It is a little too much of a scene on fri/sat, as a line develops out front by 10pm, but t... read more
