The menu seems to change quite regularly so my review now might not mean anything in 3 months.
The food was good and Griffin and Michael are great. They are attentive and give their maximum to make the customers happy.
There is a reasonable and decent wine selection. There are a very diversified menu. Each item on the menu looks good. The bread was good. I would recommend to order some.
However, I would have love to have more choices and options. I think a good steak is always a good think to have no matter what. The others guests around the table were not very happy with their pork chop.
I had gulf fish and duck. It was good! The place looks great and the staff is really good and kind!
I would recommend this place if you are looking for a different type of food. They do propose things that you cannot find anywhere else or at least not commonly.
Overall a good experience.

Wow, that was that the entire experience from the moment we walked into the door, till the moment we left. Seating was easy to check in and get seated at our reserved time. Allison did an incredible job with her Server assistant, I believe named Ralpheo taking care of us. Every recommendation was on point from pairing the salads with entrees to the wines and multiple cocktails. The Sweetbreads were cooked to perfection. With an entree of Lamb to follow. You have to save room for the desserts. When I find myself in New Orleans again, I will have to stop here again. Truly an incredible experience.
This place is quite the gem on the western edge of the French Quarter. Wonderfully designed dining rooms with views of their quaint courtyard are paired with impeccable service and exceptional food. Go for the Salmon Beignets, stay for the stunning cocktails and wonderful wine list. You won't be disappointed.
Quite possibly my favorite restaurant in the entire known universe. New Orleans is known for good food, and Bayona is the diamond in the tiara. The menu is changed daily and the ingredients are always seasonal, fresh, and top quality. The veal sweetbreads with lemon and caper sauce is my death-row dish. On our last visit, our server Raphael was impeccable, helpful, and made numerous suggestions to help us navigate the menu.
I’m not quite sure Heaven exists. Maybe it does, but probably not for scoundrels like me. But if there’s a chance, I hope it is like Bayona.

I recently had the pleasure of enjoying a delightful lunch at Bayona, a renowned 30-year old restaurant with a charming courtyard that adds an extra touch of ambiance to the dining experience. It’s surprisingly tucked away in the heart of the French Quarter, offering a calm, upscale experience that doesn’t feel uptight. As soon as we entered the courtyard, the serene atmosphere and beautiful surroundings instantly transported us to a tranquil oasis. The attentive staff made us feel welcomed and our lunch was nothing short of perfection.
You honestly can’t go wrong with anything on the menu and we can’t wait to return for dinner.
Allison was our server. She coursed out the order perfectly, checked in regularly, refilled drinks, and made it so pleasant.
Whether you're a local or a visitor, Bayona is a hidden gem, highly recommend it.

Gracious and warm service with fine food. The seafood plate was delicious, with a lobster claw, asparagus, and snapper. The brandy crème brûlée was flavoured with intoxicating nutmeg, all washed down with some decaf coffee.
Recommend by a New Orleans resident as a favorite and we were not disappointed! We sat on the patio! Was beautiful and had fans circulating! We had two very attentive servers, with each course they were presenting the food, coming back to ask how it was etc. wine glass was never empty! Would highly recommend if you are looking for a high end meal to celebrate!
Always wanted to dine here and passed here so many times on my trips and walks in the quarter. My friend invited me out yesterday. So far this has been the best dinner I have had on this trip. We had two servers it seems and both were excellent. Had the sweet breads and the quail salad with apple tea cake. Perfect and delicious.
We got there at the perfect time because it was quiet couldn't decide between the outdoor dining and indoor because both were beautiful but opted for indoor. I like the size of the place because it is more intimate and not overwhelming but within an hour the place became crowded. Very nice atmosphere With definitely return. This place is romantic for those who want a romantic place.
