What Haylie Mraz doesn't like about The Bywater:
We had food poisoning from the oysters with projectile vomit. Additionally portion sizes and seasoning for gumbo and jambalaya were tiny and disappointing. As in ladle of spicy soup with three mussels and bowl of rice with sparse vegetables respectively tiny. Really disappointed with the whole experience. Drinks are well made and strong though View all feedback. What Nico Lederer likes about The Bywater:
Chicken was piping hot, crispy and super juicy on the inside. French fries were well seasoned. The shrimp PoBoy and Bengiets really made me miss New Orleans. I'm so happy that there is such a delicious and authentic southern restaurant in the south Bay. Will definitely be back to try everything else in due time. View all feedback.

First, let me give a pro tip: Bywater is not as busy it once was but can still get crowded.
