   Eggs Hussarde, brandy milk punch and bananas Foster were extraordinary!! Great service and atmosphere as usual. My favorite place to dine in NOLA.

   Redfish was Amazon! So was the Banana foster. Venison was very bland. Gumbo was ok. I wish they offered accomplishments and sides. Ladies bathrooms were all broken except 1. That was inconvenient. Service was fine.

   Our waiter made the experience great! He was so personable and took great care of us! We got the lobster creole. The lobster seemed undercooked so we didn’t really enjoy it that much which was disappointing, however, everything else we got was amazing! I would highly recommend this place for the overall experience. It is well worth the price tag and the service is unbeatable!

    This was a tough call. We love Brennans and they were very nice to us, seating us about 45 minutes early on a Thanksgiving Friday. We did appreciate this. Also, the Sazerac cocktail was classic, the wine list was extraordinary (and fairly priced) and the Banana's Foster was decadent. But there were some real weaknesses that we have not seen here. The servers were two young ladies and the sommelier was another young lady. The server was extremely nice and helpful, but spoke very softly. We wish her well as she is young and will get better but she could not currently be classified as a professional. Her assistant was excellent and saved a few errors and gave better assistance. The sommelier was also a young lady who was currently studying for the Level 4 WSETS. There is some real effort that goes into getting through the first three levels but it is not yet an accomplishment and she was simply not a professional. The list is 10/10 but she did not know it well. I gave her several Burgundy options and asked her for a recommendation of a Burgundy that was currently drinking well and might be a hidden star on the list. She had no idea. Her only suggestion was that I choose the one option (out of my selections) that I knew less well so I could "have a new experience". This is not the kind of expertise that I wanted. I know the world is short of professional restaurant staff, but this was a weak showing by one of the "top 50 restaurants in the world". Finally, out of our four dishes, only one was truly special...the duck. The beef check was not tasty. The venison had no flavor and was overcooked. The rabbit Schnitzel was interesting but did not have any flare. We were surprised that the food only hit at 25%. We will be back because this has always been our favorite and we will give it another chance, but we currently could not recommend it.

    A $100 bottle of Brennan’s branded champagne was on special for $65 during happy hour. It was served warm and had little carbonation. Nice waitress but slow slow service. We even had to wait for the warm champagne. Brunch entrees were excellent.

    Well, disappointed at the dining experience this evening. The French 75 was bitter. The oysters in the gumbo were gritty. I was served a cold entree…twice. The staff was lovely but the food was horrible compared to my other experiences. I can’t imagine returning.

    Food was good and our waiter was really nice. We really enjoyed the Eggs Hussarde (on the recommendation from our waiter), Milk and Honey Blintz, the milk punch, coffee was good as well. Try the bananas foster it’s so good. The only thing is that they could’ve done better is to clear plates from our table as we we finished, we ordered more stuff and the plates piled up and we had to put them on top of each other while we waited for the bananas foster. But excellent choice for breakfast.

    Do not eat here. Party of 6 and we all left shocked and hungry - couldn’t finish. - bottle of Grünerveltliner was so warm, they had to add ice cubes. To a $125 bottle of wine! - bernaise sauce on striped bass was presumably from a powder - it was sour and puffy and rendered the dish inedible - the meat from Steak Diane was tough, and the steak knives on all meat dishes were dull - salad greens had too much Anise and was too bitter - rabbit dish was not traditional oven style - it came served fried and flattened like a schnitzel - Irish coffee came cold - espresso was specifically requested and coffee was served Spend your time and money elsewhere!!

    Save your money. 5 people. Duck was tough. So tough even a steak knife couldn’t cut it. Beef cheeks tasted like soft fat. One coffee came, the second came 30 minutes later. Not going back. Not recommending.

    Celebrated my birthday at Brennans for brunch.First, they really did a great job recognizing my birthday, without giving away the first class way they did it, it was the BEST! Eggs Hussarde were excellent. Asked for medium poach on eggs, came out with a perfect medium poach. Anyone who loves eggs Benedict knows that there are very few places that get the poach perfect, Brennans did. The Bananas Foster were also perfect and a beautiful end to five days of dining in New Orleans. Beautiful dining room. Great experience.

    My son and I had breakfast at Brennans while visiting New Orleans for the Saints game & to say it impressed would be an understatement! While it’s popularity might lead one to think “touristy” or other such cliche labels, in reality Brennans is everything it claims to be and then some! From perfectly crafted cocktails (its NOLA, it’s Sunday morning, and it’s encouraged to imbibe!), delectable entrées (Eggs Hussarde; do it!), and decadent desserts (It’s Brennans; where Bananas Foster was created, so duh!)… Service was impeccable, food was delicious, atmosphere luxuriously comfortable, overall experience 100% on point, and the breakfast bill expectedly high! Worth every penny!

    Kendrick was our server, and from the moment we sat down, we knew it was going to be a great experience. His recommendations were spot on, and he was just an absolute delight to be around. The oysters were delicious and just crispy enough. The bananas foster was decadent but not overly sweet. If they have the bread pudding, do yourself a favor and order it-you won’t be disappointed.

    Te food was underwhelming for the reputation the restaurant has. Honestly 2/3 of us were very unhappy with our dinner. Turtle soup was good and the famous bananas foster were the best part of the meal. The service was excellent and the staff very professional and attentive. Go for drinks and dessert but there are definitely better dinner options elsewhere in New Orleans.

    Our experience was affected by sitting next to the door to the patio and it was very cold out. No one was sitting out there but the staff kept using it to put things away, even after our waitress repeatedly talked to the staff on our behalf. Dinner was nice. They didn’t offer to let us wait in the bar and we were seated by the door for 15 minutes before I asked if they had a bar where we could get drinks. Otherwise the food itself was quite good.

    Absolutely horrid tourist trap. Gumbo was below average, lobster was tough, meliton head was served cold, and bananas foster melted because the waiter took forever to tell the hoary tale of the origins of bananas foster. The waiter condescended to us as if we'd never heard of gnocchi or gumbo. Avoid this like the plague.

    Incredible and intimidating wine list. Our Ostertag Pinot Gris was outstanding. The steak diane and Ken Wright Shea Pinot were both much better together. Service was slow to start but picked up through the meal. The desserts were delicious and fun.

    Love the atmosphere, great service, good cocktails but very bland and disappointing entrees. Really wanted to love it based on the atmosphere and the people and the legacy… the bananas foster were yummy! But the rabbit, steak, and omelet we had (group of four) were bland, cold and forgettable. Would still go here for a happy hour special - or with out of towners for dessert and a drink, but if I was looking for great cuisine - I’d go elsewhere.

    The eggs Benedict Brennan style were excellent. The potatoes at first were cool, but server brought us more just out of the fryer- but underwhelming- similar to diner home fries from a box or bag.
