Overall my daughter and I enjoyed our meal. We hot and tired and arrived about 45 minutes early. It was no problem and we were seated in about 5 minutes.
My daughter ordered the pan-seared salmon with pasta marinara...she loved it and nearly cleaned her plate.
I order the house salad. It was okay. The dressing was cloyingly sweet and didn't taste house made. I ate it anyway and enjoyed the candied nuts very much. When I was down to about five bites left on my plate I found a piece of plastic wrap under the last of my lettuce. I notified the wait staff and the manager promptly came over to apologize and remove the salad from my bill. It really didn't bother me much.
The rest of my meal meal was lovely. I ordered the Vegetable Ragout with Salmon. It was delicious and tasted very fresh. The zucchini and eggplant were cooked separately from the tomato ragout resulting in a nice al dente bite on the veggies. The salmon was cooked med-well but not over done.
For dessert we order the Royal Street Bananas Foster Crepe, they were large enough for two-three people to share...so yummy. We also got the "Mickey" shaped Beignets. There were four or five on the plate and they were huge! So, yes we ordered too much dessert.
I'm hesitant to complain about the speed of service because it was kind of nice not being rushed through our meal.
Did I mention they serve espresso?!

We had a party of 13 eating dinner here on a very very busy day at the parks. We waited about 30 minutes past our reservation time to be seated. When we were seated, 6 of us were in one table, and 7 in another table in the same room. About 15 minutes after being seated and having given our orders, the party right next to one table left, so we asked the staff if we could take their table so as to have our whole group seated together. They agreed and happily cleared the table so that we could all sit together.
The kids didn't want to try the stuff on the adult menu, and they were too old for the kids menu, so they asked for adult-sized portions of kid entrees. No problem! The kids spaghetti had a chicken breast too, so we asked for the chicken to be on the side. No problem there either. They were very accommodating to my picky eaters, so that was really nice.
The coffee was great. They give you a little mini-carafe for refills, and if you want, they will refill that mini-carafe too. I actually liked the coffee too, so I had about 4 cups. So did my husband, my mom, and my sister. The wait staff was great at keeping drinks refilled and what not.
The food for adults was good. I had the Monte Cristo. It was HUGE. I could only finish about 1/3 of it, so the rest I gave away and the kids ate it as sort of a side dish. I can't remember what others in my party had, except for some french onion soup which was good, but no one really complained about the food and I think it was all OK.
All in all, a nice restaurant with good service once you get seated.
Pros:
Large portions, Flexible menu, Quick service, Coffee Refills!Cons:

We had dinner here on May 5, 2013. We had reservations and we were seated very quickly. We sat indoors, which was nice since it was chilly. We started with the pommes frites, which were delicious. Me and my mom spit the Monte Cristo (plenty for two) and it was great. My husband had the salmon sandwich and the french onion soup, he loved the soup, but the sandwich was just ok. Our five year old had the mac and cheese and he loved it. Dessert was disappointing,the mickey mouse beignets were super cute but didn't taste very good. Overall we had a good meal.
Pros:
most of food greatCons:

Traditionally, my husband and I eat in the Blue Bayou restaurant every time we visit Disneyland. Thanks to the All Ears team, I was able to scout the menus and prices before arriving this time. The prices at Blue Bayou were staggering, to say the least. We opted, instead, to eat at Café Orleans and were extremely pleased. We started with the pommes frites which were outstanding, I could have eaten them everyday of the trip! I had the seafood herb crepes which were delicious and jam-packed with shrimp, scallops and Mahi-Mahi. My husband had the Monte Cristo sandwich which costs TWICE AS MUCH (!) at BB, he described it as a sandwich inside a donut and didn't leave a crumb. My oldest daughter had the Mardi Gras chicken sandwich. The kitchen did not blacken the chicken as we asked and it was perfect. We made reservations about a month in advance and our table was ready when we arrived. Our server was not very attentive, but did get our order right.
