Bayona

Duck PB&J was absolutely incredible. Rabbit liver pate, totally special. Decor in and out, awesome. Service? Attempted to emulate the team-server styles of classic restaurants like Antoine’s, Commander’s Palace, etc… but instead of doubling or tripling the quality, it really just seemed to dilute the engagement of the staff. They’d probably be better off just dedicating a single server to the table and putting 100% of their effort into it.

Beautiful atmosphere, excellent service, accessible location, cute courtyard. I personally did not enjoy my food, but I think it's because all I really wanted was what they've got at B. B. Kings.

The lamb was amazing, so delicious!!! Great staff and nice atmosphere! Can't wait to return!!❤

Great weekend lunch here. They have a three course, small plates menu. The two biggest highlights were, the carrot soup and the duck pastry. Friendly service. An elegant setting in a beautiful, historic building which is surprisingly quiet for being just one block off bourbon.

Went there for our first lunch on our honeymoon and it was elegant, delicious and the service was wonderful! Thank you

Very disappointing place. The food was not that good and there is a really strange mural of Tuscany on the walls. We went there because it was on a list for romantic places. There was nothing romantic about this place. The services was not good and nobody seems to know about there product. For that kind of money I would not expect that. It was a tacky place that is not at all with the money.

Awesome experience! Amazing flavors bursting out of a 220 year old Creole cottage.

Food is good but wait staff doesn't control very noisy tables.

Had a delicious meal there Duck with mint and peanut butter sauce out of this world

An amazing unpretentious dining experience. The dining rooms are relaxing, the staff attentive but not intrusive, the food fabulous (we had rabbit two ways, lamb, etc.), and the drinks excellent. A wonderful dinner all round.

I really enjoyed my lunch at Bayona. The atmosphere was relaxed and quiet, great for a little business get together. Everything we had was delicious - great cocktails, the mussels were so tasty, the crab dish was incredible and the lamb meatballs - so good!! The desserts were amazing too. We stayed a VERY long time and never felt rushed or like we were holding up the staff. (thanks for that!) Highly recommended.

This is for a special occasion. Intimate atmosphere with excellent food.They will plate food for you off the menu if you are vegetarian.I had trout which was very good, prepared with a Japanese flair.I chose peanut butter tart for dessert & it was really tasty.There is a large wine, beer & cocktail menu. Be prepared for an average tab of $55.

Stopping in for a romantic little lunch date was the highlight of our trip to New Orleans. The food was incredible and multifaceted. The chef went above and beyond to personalize a dish for me (and even went to the nearby store to buy eggplant!)I would fly back to New Orleans just to go here! Charming, detail-oriented staff make this an experience to remember. I’m picky—they’re perfect.

Amazing food in the heart of the French Quarter. I was very pleased with our visit. Service was good and not intrusive. We opted to sit in the courtyard. It was very pretty however there is a refrigerator that was very loud. The menu has a varied selection and I’m sure most everyone will have a choice. Starters were generous. Mains equally so. I had a rabbit theme with pâté starter and stuffed rabbit for main. Both were amazing. I was surprised how tangy the rabbit pâté was. My partner had the shrimp and salmon. The salmon was cooked perfectly and very sweet. I can’t comment on the shrimp due to allergy. This is an excellent experience and very different from many of the places in the area that feel tourist trap like. I feel I had great value and would recommend for all.

A great dinner with Bubbles! He took great care of us and we had a blast

I only stopped in for the garlic soup. Terrific! Also, It’s easy to make yourself. Recipe is online.

The most romantic meal I've had. Amazing food and atmosphere. Reserve now.

Amazing food!!! We loved our visit to Bayona. I had oysters, grilled shrimp, and pecan tart for dessert. All were amazing. This restaurant should get a Michelin Star. The wait staff were knowledgeable and very professional. Try it you will love it.

Stopped in for lunch. Food was wonderful. Beautiful building and friendly staff.

We chose them for our Anniversary. It was the perfect choice. The service was wonderful and the food was delicious. My husband had the duck and swears he has not had anything better. Thanks for making this Anniversary memorable.

Pretty underwhelmed with Bayona I have to say. I ate here last weekend. They lost my reservation (although they were able to still seat my party pretty quickly). Front of house staff were not that polished. Was not offered any drinks while we waited for our table. They also did not have any dedicated vegetarian entrees on their menu. They claimed they could make any of the entrees vegetarian but all they did was take the meat off the plate to make it vegetarian without substituting it with anything else. I felt bad for the two vegetarians in our party for basically having a tiny salad as a main. For a restaurant at this level- not having dedicated vegetarian dishes/ not being able to have the chef put a creative one together is horrible practice. Also the service is on the slower side which you start to notice. With so many good options in New Orleans- Bayona is a miss.

If you're in New Orleans and up for a great meal, you must book a table at Bayona. Their exceptional service is topped by top quality food that tastes delicious. The chefs here do an outstanding job.

Food, ambience and service was all great. Grilled shrimp starter and porkchop were delicious.

One word... phenomenal! The atmosphere of this place is lovely it's very relaxed and calm. We sat outside in the back the weather was perfect. The service was a little slow but it gave us time to digest than relax and have good conversations with each other so I appreciated it. We started with the cream garlic soup which was so good and I just wish they gave me more. I ordered smoked duck PB&J sandwich my mouth is watering as I'm remembering the experience. My girlfriend's ordered the barbecue shrimp with grits and the lamb. Everything was just so good I would like to go back and see what else to try on the menu. It's very unassuming and so it's surprising how delicious and complex the flavors are, you can tell a lot of thought and love went into the food. Wait staff was very friendly definitely a place to go back to when I come back to NOLA.

Beautiful restaurant in a 200 year old cottage with a lovely patio. The service was excellent, all the staff were welcoming and attentive. I enjoyed the Stormy Monday cocktail, Bayona salad, and Pacific salmon, finishing it all off with the chocolate pecan tart. Everything was absolutely delicious to the point I can't imagine having a bad meal here. The patio was surprisingly (and refreshingly) quiet considering Bourbon Street is just one street over. Highly recommend Bayona.

A true dining experience. Our party of six with one handicapped was provided excellent service. Every bite was perfect. A true exquisite dining experience. I'm so happy to enjoy Bayona with my loved ones

A definite worthy choice among the maze of great restaurants New Orleans offers for navigation. Tried the garlic soup which was recommended and did not disappoint. Unexpectedly good for such a strong base tangible such as garlic. Everything was excellent. What stood out? If I went back and had to pick just one entrée and finish dish it would be the pan roasted Pompano and the smoked duck puffed pastry although I believe the menu items change so these choices may not be available on a next visit. Good Cocktails also..! Cheers..!!

We are in love with the food here. Everything and everyone is amazing. We had seard tuna and banana tart. Susan Spice, the chef came to our table ❤

We discovered this place while strolling in the French Quarter on our first trip to NOLA. They had a lunch special for $30 per person on certain weekdays for the month of February so we thought we'd give it a shot. It was easy to make a reservation online, even for Valentine's day. We sat in the lovely courtyard under the banana tree. The lunch special includes an appetizer, an entrée and a dessert, and champagne. Sounds like a pretty good deal right? Even better, to our surprise, they refilled our champagne throughout the meal. We added a starter (veal sweetbreads) on top of our specials. We spent two hours enjoying the food, the wine, and the good weather, and we didn't feel rushed for a single second. The staff are friendly and helpful. I'm quite happy that we stumbled upon this place as I would have never picked this spot if I were doing searches on Google maps and I'd be filtering out the $$$ places.

The dessert was the best part. Hats off to the pastry chef. The main dishes were fine, but not exciting, especially for the price. You can find amazing food in this city for much less.

Hit or miss with the dishes, and lack luster service.The Diver Scallops are absolutely incredible, an amazing and well balanced dish. I got the Fennel Crusted Lamb, which was average, there was an overwhelming taste of burnt soy sauce. My date got The Pacific Salmon and it was an outstanding. Very creative and refreshing. The dessert was well presented but extremely dry.We were quick to order but the dishes took an extremely long time to come out. By the end of the night my patience was spent and I was ready to leave immediately.

This is a family favorite! Service is excellent and food is superb! It's a nice place with white table cloths. I love the entrance into this restaurant, very pretty. I can't name on thing I don't like, vutvwhat I can say is I eat so much good food I don't order dessert. From apps to entrees you cannot pick one bad thing.

Outstanding Thanksgiving dinner with family. Beautiful patio sitting area, excellent service, and above all great food. Definitely one of my most memorable holiday dinners.

Food was fresh and good, portions were way way way too small for $$$. Wouldn't go back.
