   The food was beautiful and delicious. The service was high level and attendant (Jasmine) was a pure delight. We celebrated our anniversary and my partner’s birthday and Brennan provided complimentary champagne and a NoLa inspired carnival candy floss cake. Also, the duck meal is chef kiss!

   The food was good the ambiance was nice but the service was terrible. The server took 15 minutes just to get our drink orders. Our drinks came and we noticed that another table sat next to ours. We finally ordered our food after awhile. Then we noticed that the table that sat after us got their food before we did. After all that we still had to flag the server down to get our Bill.

   We arrived and had made reservations for the wrong night because open table shifted our requested date to another night with availability which we didn’t notice (open table should make this much more clear). The staff at Brennans were so great! They figured out how to accommodate us at a table for 5 on a Friday night with a birthday ribbon for my mother who turned 80. The food was amazing especially the lamb shank and the scallops. The birthday “cake” was a fun surprise. The atmosphere was beautiful with painted scenes on the walls. All in all amazing dinner!

   Overall, we’d rate this a 3 for a good experience. The service was nice but the food took forever to arrive. I believe one of our servers was training, so I take that into consideration, but the two servers didn’t communicate well. One took our order for drinks, only for the second to come by 5min later and ask for our drink order. Then the opposite occurred, where they both thought they took our order, but in fact no one had. Lastly, the way their bananas foster is written on the menu is anything but clear. They say minimum two people per order but in fact they meant a minimum two orders per table. So we had to clarify and ask that they fix the check, which they kindle did. The food was good, but over priced in my opinion. The table side steak was a bit under medium rare. Overall, if you’re looking for a nice sit down with historical ambiance, definitely give Brennan’s a try!

    Overall - complete disappointment. Staff all seemed like trainees on the floor without any supervision, not knowing how to place a plate on the table, asking the same questions every two minutes. The main course, chicken, was served raw, with blood in it, which is absolutely unacceptable for any restaurant, especially for the one that claims to be one of the best in the US. Unfortunately the website doesn’t allow me to add a photo for some reason.

    Was surprised to not have music at our Sunday brunch that we expected jazz music (based on our reservation) and the challenge for non - dairy or non - meat dishes . Bananas foster were yummy but can’t say we would come again!

    The service was exceptional! Our server cooked both our steak Diane and the bananas foster while giving us the history of both dishes and the restaurant. Everyone’s dishes hit the table at the same exact time during each course. The trout blangé was on the menu specially for that night and I highly recommend if you’re there while it’s available. Can’t miss the seafood gumbo either. Overall, Brennan’s alone is worth the trip to NOLA.

    Food and service was excellent. We have been coming here for 58 years and this was our 58th wedding anniversary. It was excellent in 1965 and it is still one of our old favorites. Still have our menu from 1965.

    I went for my GF's b-day. Fabulous. They gave us a free appetizer, free dessert, and an apron. The food was terrific, and the service was excellent. The best part was the dessert, made right before you. It's a must if it's your first time in New Orleans.

    So sorry to see this restaurant turn into a typical tourist trap Last time I visited we all licked our plates and the food was delicious. This was the first visit for my close friends, and I was so excited to bring them here Much different experience this time. I had the fish Benedict dish and the fish was not at all good My friend ordered the chicken and it was undercooked The chairs in the dining room have ripped seats and the cane is falling apart The menu no longer offers dishes such as the shrimp boudin which I was craving and very disappointed to learn was no longer available

    We do not live in New Orleans but all 4 times I have visited I have made a point of dining at Brennan's. There is a reason that they receive great reviews. Consistently you are warmly greeted and welcomed. Their service is friendly and prompt. Attention to detail is given and the meal is always excellent!

    We made reservations to celebrate my daughter's birthday, and we had a fabulous time. The service was exceptional. The food was savory and delicious. And it turned into a very special celebration with the Cotton Candy lagniappe birthday treat, plus the sight of our waiter making bananas foster at our table. What a great place to celebrate a birthday or any other milestone. We loved it!

    Celebrated my husband’s birthday and that of his best friend from western Kansas again this year at Brennan’s, because it was such a joyous experience in 2022, and because our Kansas friend adored the blackened redfish. Alas, we were informed by our wait person that the redfish had been removed from the menu. Last year, the service was impeccable. This year we were served by a young lady who loudly corrected our pronunciation of the French terms on the menu, and was generally derisive in her attitude toward the four of us. In fact, my female Kansas friend made the observations that the waitress apparently believed we couldn’t afford the meal. Very disappointing, as we had introduced them, to their delight, to Brennan’s just last year and they had loved it. It’s hard to believe the difference in the experience in just one year’s time. There was no apology for the disappointment in the removal of redfish from the menu, either. I will say that our other staff interaction was positive. We tipped generously because we just do that with service personnel. It was certainly not because she earned it. In our collective opinion, Brennan’s would be better served in future by removing this young lady from customer interaction. We will be back because we love Brennan’s and prior excellence requires our giving a second chance. Hopefully, this was a one-off and the personnel problem will be solved in future.

    Our server made this more than just a wonderful meal; it was an event. Every course was designed with our best interest at heart. From the description of the items on the menu; to the history of the various dishes and the presentation of the world famous Bananas Foster dessert. We will with great enthusiasm recommend the restaurant to all of our friends.

    Went to Brennan's to celebrate my 40th birthday. Everything was absolutely outstanding. Our server Doug was wonderful. Cracked jokes, gave great menu recommendations and even had plenty of suggestions for us when we asked if he knew of any dive bars in the area. This was the best birthday I've had in years. Thank you Brennan's and thank you Doug
