Fat Fish Blue attempts to offer a slice of New Orleans in downtown Cleveland. Five nights per week, Fat Fish Blue offers live jazz, blues and other southern music. The food is Cajun-influenced and includes specialty entrees like Jackson Square Chicken Napoleon with collard greens, Jack cheese, and a lemon sauce, or Alabama Shrimp and Grits. If you've got an appetite, dig into Big Daddy's Gumbo, the Southern Fried Chicken, or a Country Cajun burger.

Marcelita's Mexican Restaurant aims for authentic Mexican food instead of the more common American Tex-Mex, which to Marcelita's means "flavors rather than hotness." Marcelita's offers the usual combination plates -- enchiladas, nachos, burritos, and tacos. Live bands play here on Friday and Saturday evenings. You'll get large servings of both food and fun at these Cleveland restaurants.
