We decided to try Bayou again after hearing that it was under a new owner/management. We had written this place off in review #5 on this site.

All in all a vast improvement in the front of the house. The staff is courteous, attentive and informative. We had the sea food pies (special) for a starter. Flaky puff pastry with chorizo, crawfish and shrimp with a spicy remoulade. Excellent

For entrees, I had the meatloaf that was wrapped in bacon with healthy sides of mashed potato and corn. My girlfriend had the blueberry ribs that were very moist with a side of sweet potato. For dessert, we had the bananas foster. It was quite good as this dish is normally prepared table side. Which means the staff were prompt in getting the order out as soon as it was made.

Portions are large, food is tasty and prices are very reasonable. The atmosphere is unique in terms of a relaxed yet elegant feel. Overall, the restaurant is very appealing. They finally do take credit/debit (the old owner made you go to the basement and use an ATM if you did not have cash) and it is still a B.Y.O.B

We had 7:30 reservations and we only saw three other tables there on a Friday night! I hope this isn’t normal as this restaurant has finally come together. I wish them the best and highly recommend this charming little restaurant.

Been here a few times and thought the food, ambiance, and service was really good. It’s not quite New Orleans style or the deep south but it is worth going and bringing a bottle of wine for leisurely dinner
