Our party of 3 adults were able to grab a last minute reservation when someone else cancelled. The service was impeccable, the filet mignon was very tender and an excellent cut of meat. The chef was very accommodating about an allergy. The accompanying vegtables were very fresh. Definitely would recommend
Pros:
Excellent service, food, and ambianceCons:

We dined here on April 6, 2015 and absolutely loved it! We were at the park on a very busy day and were looking forward to a nice break! We had reservations and were seated promptly at a table by the water. The food was excellent - We had surf/turf, filet mignon and my son had the Tesoro Island chicken. The gumbo soup was excellent, as well as the artisan bread they brought us! I loved the Louisiana Lemonade! We celebrated my daughter Kelly's birthday there and they brought her a Mickey chocolate mousse dessert - fabulous! Since it is pricy, it helps to check out the menu ahead of time so you're prepared. Service was excellent! All 4 of us would definitely come back here again 🙂

The Blue Bayou is an iconic establishment that can't be beat for the location and ambiance.

I loved Blue Bayou! We enjoyed a nice anniversary dinner here and requested to be seated near the water. It is truly an immersive experience and being so close to the original Pirates of the Caribbean ride is so fun. The food is a little pricy, so I wouldn't recommend bringing the whole family. But, this place is great for a couples date night or if you're in the mood for something a bit more upscale!

20 yr old DS and I ate here on Fri Sept 18 for supper. We did the Fantasmic package.
We were seated very fast after checking in for our reservation. Our server took our drink orders and brought bread service. That's the only thing our "server" did for us the entire meal. He had a helper, that did everything for us and she was fantastic. I thanked her for taking such good care of us, and stopped at Guest relations too.
I had a Mint Julep as my drink and it was really great!
For appetizers I ordered the salad which was really good (I liked this salad much better then the salad I had at Carthay the day before), and he ordered the Shrimp Boil cocktail, which he raved about.
For entrees, I ordered the Surf n Turf, it was cooked perfectly and was delicious. My son ordered the Lamb and it came out very rare. We sent it back and a fresh order was cooked properly. He enjoyed the Lamb very much.
For dessert I had the Chocolate Hazelnut cake which was SO good, and he had the Strawberry rhubarb galette. He wasn't impressed with his dessert.
We received our fantasmic tickets and seat cushions after the meal. The seating area for Blue Bayou is ground seating. There are no seats whatsoever. You have to sit on the ground with your cushion. If I had known this I don't know if I would have bought the package. With a sore hip it's very difficult to sit on the ground.
Except for a server that did nothing for us beyond take our order and bring drinks, we really enjoyed our meal here.

Delicious Meals, AmbienceCons:

DH, Me, DS 15, DD 10, & DS friend 15 ate here Sunday, March 9th.
Dinner reservations (60 day advance) for 7:10 PM. Seated almost exactly at that time.
Salad with vinaigrette was very good. Rolls and biscuits good.
Three of us ordered Surf n Turf. Small portions but very tasty. Plenty of food though...not over stuffed afterwards.
DD had lamb. She loved it.
DS friend had slow roasted beef strip and liked it.
Service was not overly friendly and a bit rushed, but it's a popular restaurant and they need to move people pretty quick.
We were told by a CM (at a NO Square store) that the chef was new. This was our second visit since 2010 and I will say the food tasted better this time.
I recommend Blue Bayou and will eat here again!

Ambiance, friendly CM host, food, locationCons:

I recently visited Blue Bayou for the first time, and had an overall really good experience. It's classic Disney with an incredible atmosphere and decor, and great service. I'd recommend requesting a table near the water for a better view, but even from our table towards the back we were able to enjoy the ambience and see the ships from Pirates sail by. We planned to try the famous Monte Cristo at Cafe Orleans, so tried the Creole Roasted Chicken here, which was okay but not great. It was a little pricey for what we got, but you're paying for the atmosphere, and in my opinion it's still worth it, but would stick to the Monte Cristo next time(I tried at Cafe Orleans and it was INCREDIBLE).
Pros:
Great Atmosphere, Excellent ServiceCons:

We had lunch reservations at Blue Bayou, and had a classic Disney experience! The service was great, and the atmosphere is amazing! I recommend requesting a table near the water for better views, but even at our table towards the back we still got the full effect of the ambience and being able to see the boats from Pirates sail by. We planned to get the famous Monte Cristo from Cafe Orleans, so opted to try other menu items at Blue Bayou, which were okay but not great. It was also fairly expensive for what we got, but you're paying for the scenery and views, and I'm okay with that. I'd highly recommend visiting Blue Bayou, but would stick with the Monte Cristo on my next visit.
Pros:
Great Atmosphere, Classic Disney ServiceCons:

There's really one reason to visit Blue Bayou, and that's for the atmosphere. The food wasn't bad (and I admit that it's not the sort of food that I really enjoy), but I don't think it's worth the price on its own. However, the atmosphere is very nice, and the server we had was excellent, and for me, that's enough.
