Live Music at Weston's La Roue Elayne

La Roue Elayne——is gearing up for summer with a variety of tasty menu items and live music three nights a week.

Elayne Cassara, one of the restaurant's proprietors, recently spoke to Patch about the new dining spot's opening weekend.

"Our opening weekend was spectacular," Cassara said, adding the restaurant had a "packed house" for the band Original Sin on that Saturday night, "followed by over 200 patrons dining with us for Mother's Day overlooking our stunning falls." 

Cassara said the restaurant plans to have live music Thursday through Saturday throughout the summer.
