We had a superb dinner at the Bayou. So sad this restaurant is closing. Everything was cooked to perfection, cocktails on point, and dessert delicious. Hopefully some of our favorite dishes and desserts will be coming to Julian's new restaurant. Thanks for always making our dining experience so memorable

Food is always amazing and portions are large. Service isn't as attentive as it has been in past years however we're sad they are closing their doors, hope yo visit new restaurant in new location.

This has been one of our favorite restaurants on Staten Island. The food is amazing. My husband swears the etoufe is better than in New Orleans. The atmosphere is lovely. We were in the back area and it was cozy and warm. But service was very slow last night. It took a while for our order to be taken and then over 30 minutes for our meal to come - some problem with the waiter not putting in the order correctly or on time. The manager was lovely and apologetic and comped us a drink...
