Bacchus On The Bayou - Restaurant in Ocean Springs - 705 Bienville Blvd, USA

We had our rehearsal dinner here for a party of 20 and it was such an amazing experience! Kelly was our waitress and killed it, and Emma, the manger, was super accommodating and helpful. The whole entire staff was friendly and lovely to our guests. The food was exquisite, not to mention the facility itself. This private room is beautiful! We loved the bar area too in the main restaurant and are looking forward to going back to eat and hang out!!! Thanks again, guys, for the perfect rehearsal dinner.

This was my first time eating here and I was very pleased. My service was great and staff was helpful. I had the oyster plate and side salad. Oh My! Happy hour is enjoyable and make sure you take some hush puppies home for later. Trust me you'll thank me!

Location was nice, service was good, but the food was entirely lacking. Came for an after graduation meal on an early Saturday afternoon. It wasn't busy and we were seated promptly. We wanted to sit outside, but as only a small portion of their patio is covered, everything was wet from the morning shower. The waiter was polite and attentive. The items we ordered just didn't measure up. Ordered the oyster sampler, which wasn't bad, especially given the price. The oysters we large and plump and well cooked. The cheddar/jalapeno/bacon were my least favorite, but the others were good representations of standard baked oyster recipes. Something about that cheese or combo of ingredients didn't hit right though. The crab cake sandwich is where things really fell off. I with someone else at the table ordered the same thing, only theirs was deconstructed and I had mine as is. We both agreed that A: the smoked Gouda had no business being there. I was too thick and too overpowering. I took over everything and we both made attempts to remove it. B: the crab cake itself was horrid. It was a fried mushy, gummy puck of indiscernible blah. There was no flavor along with the lack of anything resembling crab. This was a common theme with my meal as somehow my Caesar salad was so bland I found myself dumping salt on it to make up. Caesar salads are usually salty so not sure how they achieved that. The west indies salad was much better and actually a fairly large portion, as was the kids meal shrimp. None of us walked away particularly impressed, and none of us finished our meal or bothered to take it home. Maybe we caught them on a bad day, or picked the wrong items, but I probably won't come back for anything more than some drinks and the views.

So to start, we had gotten fried green tomatoes, firecracker shrimp, and ahi tuna . Those we very tasty. I also got a bowl of gumbo, cold. I was going to send it back, but the waiter kept getting lost and reappearing with other food. Main courses came out, and let's start with the pork chop. My friend states it was seasoned perfectly and tasted scrumptious. The oysters were Ok, nothing to write home about. Lastly, I order the seafood platter and compared to other places I have had seafood platters from, this one was pitiful. The flavor was bland, the platter was skimpy, and price was high for what I received. Overall it was on but I wouldn't eat there again. Sad part is that I used to frequent the one over in gulfport before it closed. I forgot, we did get dessert and I have to tell you that banana foster cheesecake was amazing. Maybe I would go back for that.

Portions are HUGE!! I don’t like tuna (except raw) and I LOVED the tuna dip so much I ate some the next morning for breakfast! It was DELICIOUS and not fishy at all! The oysters weren’t my favorite tbh- it was way too much stuff on it. I prefer to taste my oysters, even if cooked, and these were just overkill. The tacos my hubby ordered he loved. I had a salad and was plentiful in serving size. Impressed w the service and even though we didn’t sit on the patio, there was live music out there and a bar too.

Dined in the outside area. Beautiful view of the bayou. Service was great, friendly server & even a sweet manager came out & checked in on us. Food & drinks are, a little slow, & not as amazing as I'd hoped. Crab cakes are fried, & I'm fairly certain my petite filet, was a rocky mountain oyster. 😬

Came here for dinner after a day out on the water, and it definitely hit the spot. We sat in the outside bar area, which was nice and shaded. The wait staff was very attentive and friendly. I ordered the Mardi Gras pasta, and my husband got the chicken cordon blue. We also couldn't pass up the oysters. We had a great dining experience. On a side note, for those coming in from the water, the dock is nice and boat friendly. Didn't see anything that could scratch, scuff, or poke.

The oysters 🥰🥰🥰. First time having oysters not fired and LOVED IT. I had to get them twice 😘. The red fish tasted frozen and the shrimp left much to be desired texture wise(I think frozen). I picked the wrong temp on my filet(I should have asked for med rare, not med). The cream sauce had separated a little so it had cures. The oysters were nothing compared to the char-baked. The crab cake had a nice flavor, but no lump meat. (Too well mixed) The ship Island iced tea will get you 👍👍👍. They are not stingy with the alcohol never had a long island with tequila a first .🥳 The beer, I forgot the name of but it is similar to an angry orchard, but with pineapple good as well
