Food: Forgettable taste, glorious portions
Blue Bayou's menu lacks pizzazz, with patrons deriding its limited variety and forgettable flavors. However, the restaurant redeems itself to some degree with its generous portions. Indulge in their Monte Cristo Sandwich, a guilty pleasure of perfectly deep-fried protein and cheese, or dive into the authentic, heart-warming flavors of New Orleans Gumbo, a crowd favorite. The Creme Brulee is another high note, wowing desserts lovers with its crunchy caramelized top and creamy, flavorful custard.

Perks: Sounds of frustration echo
Nothing disrupts the romance of a perfect evening quicker than echoing sounds of frustration from patrons grappling with various inconveniences. For starters, a difficulty in securing parking spaces causes lateness and undue stress. The supposedly romantic atmosphere is shattered by distressingly loud noise that makes conversation difficult. Add to this, a reservation process that requires a high degree of patience and issues around seating for large groups, and the perks of Blue Bayou quickly lose their luster.
