I have not stopped by for a while, but we chose it for my birthday. Love the updated decor, which makes it feel more roomy. The food offers a variety of excellent cuisine, not just Cajun, and includes vegetarian and gluten-free offerings. I enjoyed duck breast and my husband had shrimp and scallops. Noise is a problem for us, but... More

Spat's gives you the feel of the French Quarter without having to go there. The food is always of the best quality, the staff is always on point, and the location is pretty much perfect right there on the corner.

we went by for a late lunch on a Saturday and we had a great experience. Service was good with good selection of beer and wine. The food is infused with cajun spices throughout.

Went to Spat's Cafe at suggestion on my daughter who is a PSU student. Menu a little confusing with Tapas and various size entrees but readily explained by the helpful, friendly staff.

Third, I hope you like Cajun spice, because the menu has a limited focus. Our food tasted ok, but was significantly overpriced. The service, on the other hand, was... More

My wife and I had a quick impromptu soup course while looking for a place to have dinner. Things were not bad, certainly... but we were not inspired. Moved on to the Allen Street Grille when the menu wasn't quite what we were looking for. Maybe we caught the staff off guard a bit by not having a reservation and... More

This place is becoming one of my favorite restaurants. It's located right on a great corner on College Avenue. The New Orleans theme means a fair amount of Cajun and spiced foods, but nothing overly spiced. The tapas are amazing with the biggest problem being limiting yourself to one or two. The Pan Poached Mussels and the Lobster Ravioli are... More

Great little place with a New Orleans based menu and decor. Food and service are excellent. Drink menu is also very extensive.
