Amazing experience every time!
Great location for brunch. Right in heart of French Quarter across from courthouse and near waterfront. Staff was a delight and food was above average. Weather permitting ask for seating in courtyard.
Great experience and service . Loved the bananas foster !
Everything was great!
Great eggs Benedict and 7$ sparkling drinks for brunch
The service was very slow and indifferent. The music was so loud that everyone was shouting at each other. The food was good but not great. The setting was pretty.
The service was impeccable, and the creamed spinach, steak, and bananas foster were incredible!
Just the most elegant, delicious breakfast in the world. And the service is as good, if not better.
Service that was excellent. Our breakfast was delicious. We will come again!!
Scallops and oysters were delicious. I got there before my reservation and , since I was alone , sat at The Bar instead. Enjoyed it all!
Turtle soup amazing short ribs were awful scallops were rubbery but the crepes were delicious . Server was phenomal (Alexa) the restaurant was beautiful and we are glad we came
Outstanding service.
Delicious brunch
Service and food were exemplary.
Food was amazing. Service was fantastic. Ambiance great
Great time. Went with my girlfriend and had cocktails and breakfast.
We were sat in the King's room and had an amazing breakfast finishing with their (world?) famous bananas Foster. The staff was on point, and in no rush to get us out of the restaurant. They answered questions about the location and even took us on a mini-tour of the establishment. We left satisfied both in our hearts and our stomachs.
Everyone should eat at Brennan's. Don't think about it, just do it and you will leave with a smile on your face. And please dress up.
Service was impeccable. Food delicious
Put all the kids and their families in one area. Hate to listen to loud kids when i have saved to come to a special place like Brennens.
We always have a meal at Brennen's whenever we are in New Orleans. Our server (initials JG) was very nice and helpful. She answered any questions that we had concerning the choices and fixed up a nice banana foster for desert. We enjoyed our experience.
Great service from the entire staff, we ate in the courtyard and the atmosphere was perfect for our 10 year anniversary. Food was delicious, the banana fosters was excellent. Joe was a fun server
Our experience was amazing all three times we dined at Brennan's this week. Everything from start to finish was first class. We travel to New Orleans just to eat dinner at this restaurant! Love it!
It’s always a special occasion to eat at Brennan’s & have John Rauch taking care of you
Our Easter was super special I’m not a fan of 3 courses because I can’t eat that much food but my leftovers were delicious the second meal too. Easter was very busy at Brennan’s & we were excited to see since covid quarantine I also want to express how much we appreciate you opening during the pandemic 😷 & having a chance to enjoy Brennan’s hospitality & wonderful meal. Thank you John for your knowledge, service & caring service
Lovely Easter AM brunch. Service was impeccable and prix fixe menu was delightful. Jazz brunch is something NOLA does so well...bonus was 1/2 off Champagne menu. Some classics don't go out of style.
We were celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary! Everyone made us feel welcome and as if they were there strictly for us! Wonderful dining experience and the food was superb!
Aside from the food being incredible, our server made this just a wonderful experience. So fun.
All great. The server is the best!
Great brunch spot with plenty of New Orleans and french flair- and what type of trip is complete to New Orleans is you didn’t try bananas foster where it was created?
Everything was phenomenal during our anniversary brunch at Brennan's!
Brennan’s for Breakfast is a must when visiting New Orleans! The service and food are top notch. I always start with Turtle Soup, then Eggs Benedict and of course table side Bananas Foster. Grab a few cocktails to start and finish the meal off with some french press chicory coffee.
Was able to eat outside in the lovely garden. Food was delicious order the bananas foster. So much fun to watch them prepare it table side
Duck was over cooked.
We had a table reserved but got there early for a drink. Never left the courtyard. It was fun. Food was excellent.
his was our second trip to New Orleans, and we actually extended a day so we could visit Brennan's. The rest of the trip paled in comparison. We got there a bit early and were greeted warmly and seated in the courtyard for happy hour until our table was available.
When our table was ready we were moved inside where the absolutely stunning decor hit us right away. Servers were perfectly attentive without being overbearing and we felt perfectly welcomed, much more so than at several of the other high end restaurants we have eaten at in New Orleans.
Food was delicious. Portion size was perfect, not so little you felt that you had only tasted but not so much you felt pressured to finish or take home. The cotton candy fluff with the birthday cake hiding in side was a wonderful treat. Thank you again for a great experience
The food quality has gone way down. This used to be our favorite NOLA restaurant. We will not return.
Brennans is the best brunch in North America! My wife and I have been coming here for over 30 years and this visit was our 41st wedding anniversary. We started with milk punch then I had Eggs husarde and my wife had croak madame for our entrées. They were beyond delicious... The wait staff could not have been nicer. We then had bananas Foster for dessert and Brennans gave us complementary pink champagne for our anniversary which was extremely nice! My wife and I will keep returning to Brennans!!!
We had an amazing time. What a great experience to celebrate our friends birthday!! Food was delicious!
An excellent experience, everyone enjoyed it, as usual!
Brunch was good; eggs benedict, of course. Little too much hollandaise sauce, eggs over cooked, not runny. Grits were bland. Had to wait 20 minutes for our “reservation”. Told waitress we had a flight to catch. Had we not, brunch may have lasted more than the hour and a half that it did. Interminably slow. Average pricing. Beautiful space.
