    Honestly I felt that it was a bit over priced for what we got , I ordered a filet mignon and it was a bit dry. The waiter was nice but it took a while for him to come around and check on us and when he did it felt like we were being rushed . Beautiful place but I don’t believe we will be back

    I’ve been to Brenner’s several times for week night corporate events. Always a great experience. So I gave an out-of-town family member the choice of several HTX steakhouses for dinner to celebrate his birthday on a Saturday night, and put Brenner’s at the top of the list. We were excited when he chose to eat there over other more common places. Big mistake. After messing up his order, we waited over 15 minutes for his meal. By the time his food arrived the rest of the table was nearly finished and eating cold food slowly so that he would not be in the position of eating alone. The staff was very nice about it, comped his meal and doted on him with desserts. Stiil, the night was a bust. I won’t be back.

    Brenner’s always shines, and yesterday the jazz brunch was perfect in every way. The food and service was exceptional. We are longtime customers and they just keep getting better.

    One of our favorite places to eat and sip champagne. Our waitress was attentive to every detail and even made sure I didn't leave without my take-home bag. I enjoy the atmosphere as well.
