Our family of 5 recently had dinner here with some friends. Since it was a Saturday, we had made reservations (Being out-of-towners, I personally would not risk arriving without a reservation). Every table was filled for the duration of our visit. Parking is suggested at a lot nearby, but we were able to find street parking.
The Owner was very welcoming, the staff attentive and our meals were delicious. Between the seven of us, we had a bit of everything -- Pasta (Vodka and Bolognese), Chicken (Boscaiola), Fish (special), Veal, etc. All dishes arrived simultaneously, and were served hot (I hate lukewarm food!). We enjoyed our meals and would definitely like to return. The next time, I will try the Orecchiette with Sausage and Broccoli. It sounded delicious! The pizzas looked great too. The dessert tray looked tempting (the Tiramisu comes highly recommended) but we were too full from dinner to indulge.
The tables are comfortably close -- as you would find with other popular restaurants in the city. It didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Definitely give them a try if you are in the area. Enjoy!

This is truly the best Mexican food I have ever tasted! The restaurant is very small, but they will be moving to larger quarters, in Bayonne, in the near future. They serve liquor and the Mexican food is truly authentic. They do not take reservations and are open for lunch and dinner. The bar area sits about 10 people and they have approximately 10 tables. Their fajitas are the best - combo with shrimp, chicken and steak (steak is cooked to your liking) with all the sides priced at $21 is fantastic and 2 to 3 people can easily share this platter. The servers cannot do more for you, they aim to please! Parking after 3:30 is usually good. It is located on the corner of 39th Street and Broadway, directly across the street from Quick Check and Horace Mann Elementary School. I guarantee you will love this restaurant!

Great food!!
Reviewed By SuzyQu15 - Brooklyn, New York
Bayou never disappoints! They have an excellent bar, and make several different sangrias and hurricanes. The menu is creative, with a southern leaning, and specials change to keep it fresh. Reasonable price fixe menu is offered during the week, an excellent value. Service is terrific, food delicious, prices reasonable and ambiance wonderful. Parking is on the street, but never found it to be a problem. Highly recommend !!

Great place for dinner or lunch. Also a nice backroom for private parties, like Communions or Christenings. Food is fresh, plentiful and delicious. The menu offers many selections. Price is right too!

Really, really good Italian food set in an informal family atmosphere. Food is cooked to order and is freshly made and comes piping hot. Service is always prompt and friendly. Portions are large and offer good value. Been going there for years and have never been disappointed.

Situated on the upper level of The Mills at Jersey Gardens mall. Staff are too rushed off their feet to pay attention to things like not delivering a starter and manicure at the same time. Food dumped carelessly onto plates with no consideration of appearance. My bowl of chilli cheese & onion came at the same time as my Philly cheese steak. The amounts are reasonable & the prices low but really could do with some more seasoning. I expect my chilli to have something of a kick. This disappointed.

What a treat! Every slice of pizza is nostalgic for us.....thinking about the times we visited Denino's over the years. Their pizza hasn't changed one bit and it's as delicious as ever. It's still a fun place, with delicious pizza (lots of varieties).

If you look at this place as you are walking by you thinks it's just another bar but they have a great restaurant inside that you're missing if you just keep walking by. Food is freshly prepared and always delicious. The portabella Philly sandwich is awesome by the way.

Thought we'd get decent breakfast here, better than Marriott & Country Inns which are truly awful. No way. Poached eggs came incredibly runny; the 2nd attempt almost as bad. Toast is so small and skimpy. A totally bad experience.

While it's not the greatest area aesthetically, the restaurant itself offers a cool vibe and delicious food with excellent service. We had a large party and they were very accommodating and personable. The drinks were great and served steadily throughout our time there. The menu(s) had many options and it was tough to choose as it all looked delectable. Would definitely recommend.
