(Doug Wells/The Register)
Django, pronounced like Jango - the publicity slogan is "Just say Jango" - serves many classic French dishes such as cassoulet, steak frites, or steak and fries, and bouillabaisse. General manager Josh Holderness said the centerpiece of the restaurant is a large bar where patrons can order fresh seafood, including oysters, shrimp, clams and mussels, as well as cheese plates, cured meats, artisan bread and desserts.
