Secunda – With a variety of dishes to suit every taste, Blue Bayou (Graceland) offers a revamped new menu with dishes to make you drool.
Graceland invited the Bulletin to taste the new Blue Bayou menu recently and we were very pleased.
The menu is neat and clean, not cluttered with unnecessary photos and extras. It is not too big and easy to choose from.
I chose the Portobello Mushrooms and my wife Elmarie chose the minestrone soup as starters. Both dishes were well prepared and were packed with flavour. My mushrooms were soft and tasty.
Next was the main course. It was a difficult choice to make, for me, between the Oxtail and the Lamb Loin Cutlets. The lamb cutlets were my choice. The cutlets were soft and still juicy. The fat was just right with a little crispness in them. Just as I like them
Elmarie chose the Oxtail. I must say that I still cannot say which I prefer as both the oxtail and lamb cutlets were prepared to my liking. I am sure that I will have to go back and order the oxtail next time.
The dessert menu offers a small but good variety for most pallets. My choice was the backed cheesecake with cream and Elmarie’s choice fell on the brownies.
We ended the meal with the cheese platter and a nice coffee. We had a quick chat with other patrons and they all agreed that the food was great, the menu just right and that they will return.
We found the pricing on the menu reasonable and that the food on offer covers a wide variety of tastes. The service was also good and although the lamb took some time to prepare it was a time that was well spent. Time to catch up op on each other after a long day at work, we also took the time to relax a bit while waiting for our food.
The staff was friendly and accommodating. Thank you for making it a memorable evening.
We enjoyed the evening out and would certainly be back for more. I have seen some of the food that others ordered and would definitely try it in future.
