Blue Bayou Restaurant

I went here for my girlfriend's 30th birthday. The server gave her a birthday card, which was nice! My girlfriend and I got the 70th Celebration Prixe Fix Menu ($89 each) and crab cakes ($18). The 70th Celebration Prixe Fix Menu was a 3 course meal (vegetable hearts salad, filet mignon, and chocolate-pistachio cheesecake. The vegetable hearts salad and chocolate-pistachio cheesecake was our favorite part of this 70th Celebration Prixe Fix Menu. The crab cakes was also very good! The filet mignon was a little too salty and the vegetables that came along with it were a little too spicy for us. We didnt finish the filet mignon portion of thr menu. To book a reservation, you will have to use the Disneyland app/website or go on the Disneyland website. We had ordered the Dark Chocolate Happy Birthday Mickey Cake ($50), but it never came out. Our server explained to us that they do not see what we added this on the Disney app. Therefore, if you want a Mickey Celebration Cake, you should let the server know when you get to Blue Bayou. However, I am not sure what the purpose of allowing customers to add Mickey Celebration Cakes on the Disneyland app/website if the servers do not see it.

Had a great dinner at Blue Bayou during our Disneyland visit. The atmosphere is always one of a kind—there’s just something special about dining inside the Pirates of the Caribbean, with the boats quietly drifting by throughout the meal. It really adds to the experience. Dan provided outstanding service from start to finish. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything came out perfectly. The ribeye was cooked just right, well-portioned, and high quality. We also enjoyed the chicken and shrimp, which were both flavorful and satisfying. To drink, the Crown & Hops Hazy IPA paired nicely with dinner, and the espresso martini was a great way to end the meal. Between the unique ambiance, great food, and excellent service from Dan, Blue Bayou continues to be one of the most memorable dining experiences inside Disneyland. Looking forward to coming back.

This turned out to be my favorite meal of the trip - actually it was more than a meal, it was an experience and a core memory. My husband and I checked in and waiting about 20 minutes before we were seated, but it was well worth the wait. We sat at a table right on the water, tucked away in the corner - it was so romantic and inviting. Our server David was super attentive and had great dad jokes throughout the evening. We ordered two hurricanes to celebrate and boy, were they tasty! We started with the crab cakes and gumbo, both of which were outstanding - so full of flavor and savory goodness. The crab cakes were all crab and the gumbo proteins were so tender, they melted in my mouth. My husband got the sustainable fish - a steelhead trout that evening - and I got the ribeye. Both meals were extraordinary. I don’t understand when people say the food here is just okay. That was not our experience. We had empty plates at the end of the evening. The ribeye was cooked perfect and the compound butter was an excellent addition. My husband’s fish was flaky and super flavorful. The ambience here is the icing on this delicious cake. Being right next to the water, watching the Pirates boats going by, seeing the fireflies dance, soft jazz music playing - it was sensory overload and an experience I will never forget.

what a treat it was to enjoy a meal at the blue bayou while we were at disneyland! while it was extremely hard to get a reservation -- HIGHLY recommend making a reservation. when you check in, see if you can request a table near the water! totally made our experience 10x better FOOD the kids had a blast -- they had options for even the pickiest kids! the crab cakes were INCREDIBLE. the prime rib was a touch cold which was a little disappointing. the chicken was amazing, with a great kick! SERVICE the service was amazing. from checking in with the hostess, to our server, and the food runners, everyone was just so kind and brought the disney magic to dinner! AMBIANCE i mean the entire place is AWESOME. it's decorated like you're in NOLA, and pirates in the background?! simply incredible, and truly doesn't get better than that! an absolute MUST if you're in disneyland. it's a great experience that everyone should have at least once in their life!

Did the walk-in option at Blue Bayou on 3/27/26 with my husband, both of our first times (a dream come true!). It was interesting walking-in. The hostess at the front sort of seemed reluctant to give us a table, but anyway, we got in around 6:00pm after asking twice within 5 minutes. (We were told it would be a 30-40 minute wait, but ended up getting seated right away.) We shared the 70th Celebration Prix Fixe meal which included an appetizer, entree, and dessert. The appetizer was a Vegetable Hearts Salad which was just okay! I didn’t really like how all the dressing was at the bottom of the bowl, so we were confused but ended up figuring it out and mixing it ourselves. Would rate that a 6.5 or 7/10. The entree was the Ribeye Steak and Prawns with Western Style Butter. Okay this dish was 10/10!!! We asked for the steak to be cooked medium rare. It did come out more in the rare side, but it tasted SO good. The butter flavor reminded me of movie-theater-butter. The prawns tasted good. The baked potato came with cheese, bacon bits, green onion, and sour cream on the side; it was good too. The asparagus was soft and had a plain flavor but I didn’t mind that. We really enjoyed the entree as a whole. The dessert was a Chocolate-Pistachio Cheesecake which my husband had since I am gluten intolerant. He rated it 8/10. For myself, I got a separate dessert order, the Petite Sundae, which just came with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, Oreos as Mickey ears, sprinkles, and chocolate syrup. Can’t go wrong with the vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, and chocolate syrup! I didn’t eat the Oreos, and felt like the sprinkles were way too hard. I’d give that a 8/10. Our total came out to $111.25 with an order of Coke (which was refillable). The service was generally good, it seemed to vary by table. The ambience was nice even though we sat furthest from the Pirates ride. Overall, we were really glad to have had dinner there as it was our goal for the trip. I’m not exactly sure if I would come again. Maybe! Definitely great to try at least once.
