Answer: Singing wait staff.
At La Cantina, the servers not only take your order and bring your food. They also regularly break into song!
Every 10 or 15 minutes, the pianist tickles the ivories while one or more members of the waitstaff belts out Broadway tunes, jazz, classic rock, and standards. Some performances are themed on special occasions.
These performances take place from around 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday through Sunday nights.

Patrons at La Cantina can sip drinks at the bar in order to enjoy the musical performances, or dine from the same menu that is served at La Casa Sena.
Bear in mind that this a leisurely dining experience because some of the staff’s time is devoted to performing. That just gives you an opportunity to enjoy the warm atmosphere of this old, adobe building.
