Trivia[]

  • The restaurant's exterior resembles a steamboat. The restaurant also has frog and lily-pad motifs. One frog sculpture on the wall has a crown, referencing the story of the Frog Prince.
  • The crests on the doors have a crown design, a lily design, a trumpet representing Louis, and a spoon representing Tiana.
  • Hats belonging to Naveen, Tiana, Charlotte and Eudora are hung on the wall.[1][2]
  • There is a framed photograph on the wall of the historic King Oliver and His Creole Jazz Band.
  • There are instruments identified as belonging to the Firefly Five Plus Lou.[3] This was the band, named in tribute to Ray and which was joined by Louis at the end of the Princess and the Frog. The band's name is a reference to the real world Firehouse Five Plus Two, which various Disney animators were members of.
  • The mural of the bayou has two stars next to each other, referencing Ray and Evangeline.
  • Tiana's father's gumbo spoon appears amongst the props.[4]
  • There are various letters to Tiana framed on the walls. One is from a woman claiming to have been her childhood home's next-door neighbour, Lorraine, presumably implying her to have been one of the characters in the neighbourhood seen at the beginning of the Princess and the Frog.[5]
