Has anyone made a reservation for dessert only at Blue Bayou?
We are a party of 11 and all really love the feel of this restaurant but it’s not in everyone’s budget. I thought dessert would be a good compromise.
Is this something that is ok to do?
The desserts are pretty limited, and 11 is a lot to take the place of full meal diners (I tend to look out for the servers. I'd make sure I tipped as if we all had full meals.)Has anyone made a reservation for dessert only at Blue Bayou?

We have a 3pm reservation at B.B. Just wondering...Are their appetiser options at BB? Can you order just gumbo or salad for example. And then maybe dessert? Since it’s an odd meal time we may not want full meals.
At Blue Bayou the appetizers are included with the entrees and cannot be ordered separately.
The last time I looked at the BB menu there was a section for starters with prices so I assumed you could order only starters, including gumbo, if you wanted to. Is this incorrect? Anyone?

Whole Spiced Shrimp $13

Interesting. I’ve dined there 4 times and every time you chose a starter with your entree (gumbo or salad). Twice there was an additional starter that was a small upcharge (usually shrimp).
I believe this is a recent (as in the past month) change.Interesting. I’ve dined there 4 times and every time you chose a starter with your entree (gumbo or salad). Twice there was an additional starter that was a small upcharge (usually shrimp).
That was our experience previously as well. Interesting to know it's now an option. I'm sort of surprised.Interesting. I’ve dined there 4 times and every time you chose a starter with your entree (gumbo or salad). Twice there was an additional starter that was a small upcharge (usually shrimp).
So wait, you're saying it's all a la carte now? If so, that's a huge price spike! And I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to find people going in to order just starters.Comparing the prices today to the prices on allears in March, the meal price stayed the same, just starter now. So, the lamb is still $42, but adding the gumbo or salad is now an additional $7. A couple entrees did come down $2.
The Monte Cristo is now $29 here.
That is my concern for the servers.So wait, you're saying it's all a la carte now? If so, that's a huge price spike! And I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to find people going in to order just starters.

Why doesn't that surprise me?Someone in a foodie group I'm in said they tried to order starters separately/only when this went live and were denied. Still had to be ordered with an entree. Haven't tried it personally.
So it's basically an increase to the entree price without actually increasing the entree price so obviously.
