Le Bayou Restaurant & Oyster Bar

Love the atmosphere.
Restaurant staff is very friendly and reasonable price.
We just hangout couple drinks and had a fresh oyster and fried alligator.
Their seafood was very fresh.
I think this is A good place to hangout with your friends, family, and even just yourself.
I would like to go there again when I visit in town.

Mixed Experience with Great Views and Dedicated Staff My husband and I recently dined at this restaurant and had a mixed experience.
The food was pretty good, and we especially enjoyed the oysters and drinks.
The real highlight, however, was the view.
The restaurant offers fantastic views for people-watching, especially if you manage to snag a table on the balcony. Our evening started with a bit of a wait.
The hostess informed us of a 15-minute wait, which turned into about 45 minutes.
During this time, we noticed the restaurant was beginning to clear out.
Curious, my husband went to check on the balcony and was surprised to find that all the tables were empty. When he informed the hostess, she promptly let us up to the balcony.
It was a shame we had to wait longer than expected, but once we were seated on the balcony, the views made up for it.
Additionally, I want to commend the male server upstairs who was working very hard, running up and down the stairs.
He was in great shape and seemed to be doing his best to ensure everyone was taken care of. If you're willing to be a bit patient and enjoy great views, this place is worth a visit.
Just be sure to check the balcony yourself if you're told there's a wait!

Not busy at all...
only 4 tables with people.
To 40 min for them to take our drink order.
Because the hostess never told the waitress we were hers.
She finally takes our drink order, takes the ticket to the bar and the bar tender rolled his eyes at her and placed the ticket on the counter before hopping on his cell phone for the next fifteen min.
Our drinks finally came after complaining.
Looked nothing like the menu described...
couldn't even put sugar on the rim as described.
Offered to remake our drinks, and in an hour and twenty min...could only remake 2.
I never got mine. The shrimp po boy came out cold with only 2 pieces of shrimp.
Fries cold.
Gator bites, luke warm...
red beans and rice had good flavor, but even it was cold.
The girls did enjoy the oyseters though...
in my opinion, Best thing they had to offer was really a sprite. The waitress tried, but they was playing her dirty.
That's the only reason I give em any stars at all really, and the fact I liked their location...
because I could people watch.
