They charged me a larger tip than I left on my bill. When I called the manager he said he had the receipt infront of him and it was correct. When I called back and asked for a picture he said he didn’t have the receipt. An absolute scam.

One of the finer restaurants in the region. The food is focused and delectable all why having flavors that everyone expects to experience while on New Orleans. The service was warm and professional. Bayona is everything you would expect from Susan Spicer.

If you're looking for some of the best service in New Orleans this place has it all. From romantic dining to candle lit patio seating I make a point to come here every time I visit Nola. The meal is always fantastic and the wine selection is stellar.

We had an excellent dinner here. The food was outstanding and the spicy margarita was the best one I’ve ever had. The courtyard is very dreamy. Will definitely come back next time we’re in town!

I and my two companions shared a baked apple dessert. The apple was small, slimy, uncored and tasteless, surrounded by a soapy foam. All three of us felt the same and told the waiter. He immediately offered to refund the dish - $13 of a bill that exceeded $300. The manager overuled him. This left such a bad taste that we cancelled a thanksgiving reservation and will never return.

I am not someone who writes bad reviews but my husband, our dear friend and I had an unexpected uncomfortable experience at Bayona last night. My husband and I are from the UK and we have been coming to New Orleans for many years. It is a magical city. This visit we are staying with our new friend who lives in the city. We booked Bayona as a thank you to our friend. We had high expectations and indeed these were met initially. The welcome was warm, the waiters were lovely and very helpful. We enjoyed cocktails followed by pâté. We each had a different main course, all three were delicious as was the wine. We decided to share a dessert and as a lover of baked apple, I chose the baked apple with crumble topping. The description sounded good. This is when the evening took a wrong turn. The apple was not cored, it was very firm and difficult to cut with a spoon. The crumble topping consisted of a light scattering of oats. We tried our best with it and each had a mouthful of apple. We left the core and what few oats had been there originally. We did try to find something good about it but could not. I politely told the waiter of our dilemma, saying how great everything had been and this dessert was the only fly in the ointment. He said he understood and would take it off the bill. I was immediately relieved and impressed. However a minute later he returned to say his manager had overuled this decision. I was dumbfounded. This should not happen in any restaurant let alone one with the reputation of Bayona. I hoped for a sensible response from the manager when I went to talk to him but he was unapproachable and quite rude. What had started out as a fun evening ended badly. I am a caring and empathetic person and hope that the waiter did not get into any bother over this. He was excellent and very professional . Our friend had booked for Thanksgiving and is now planning to cancel the booking. So sad. The star rating is difficult for me to fill in because the waiter service was good but manager involvement was poor and unprofessional. So the four stars are for the waiters.

We had an absolutely wonderful dinner here tonight for my birthday. Not only was our server incredibly attentive and knowledgeable—she was also delightfully personable and an absolute pleasure to work with. Our food was simply divine—every detail was thoughtfully addressed, both in presentation and taste. And my god, the duck and the lamb had some of the best cook on them we’ve ever experienced (and my partner and I order duck and lamb every chance we get).
This is our new favorite place. Every time we have the pleasure of visiting New Orleans, we are going to visit here. Thank you all so much for an absolutely fab dinner.

The menu is amazing and fantastic. The food is very amazing and caters to your taste buds. The food will make you grin at the sight of it and once co super it will make you smile very happily.
The food here was amazing, especially the fish of the day. Would also recommend the stormy morning cocktail. They have a cute courtyard area which made for a nice place to have lunch while we were in the city

Was here for my wife and I anniversary. We got our apps which was a soup and some sort of gelatinous seafood. They both looked off. Upon tasting the soup my wife got sick and want to the bathroom to throw up. We did not stay for our entrees. By far the worst dining experience of our life. Especially on our wedding anniversary. Please do not go here around closing they serve awful and bad seafood. The staff was great in this regard but the damage was done and ruined our anniversary.

Beautiful setting, attentive service, and delicious food.... what did you ask for? I Had the garlic soup first, followed by a barbecue shrimp. Both were outstanding, but the shrimp was really fantastic. I had the cheesecake for dessert and it was a little bit small in portion size, but very delicious.

I was very unimpressed by Bayona. The ingredients are well-sourced and the cheese plate was excellent, but the entrees left a lot to be desired. I got the gulf fish and it was entirely flavorless—the butternut squash risotto had no butternut squash flavor, tasted like heavy whipping cream, and had no seasoning at all (even devoid of salt). The crawfish beignets were undercooked and mushy and wet on the inside. The dish overall was lacking in flavor and needed an additional element—like lemon or seasoning. The service was sub-optimal; we were not asked if we wanted another drink and could not ask for salt/lemon/etc. as no one came by until we were finished. Overall, definitely not worth the $100 meal price per person, but with some tweaks to the finishing of meals and service, it could be great.

The mushroom goat cheese croutons were ethereal. The fennel pepper crusted lamb with zinfandel reduction and duck fat potatoes was phenomenal as well. Overall the wine list did leave a little to be desired but the btg menu did definitely have the perfect pairing for my meal. The service was exceptional and the ambiance outside was dreamy. Will enthusiastically return.
