   We had a challenging time making reservations via their System. We were extremely pleased with our server and the food that we were served. We will definitely come back again

   In town for a girls weekend and I was a little hesitant to book Brennan’s because the touristy restaurants don’t generally meet our expectations. This one did not disappoint. Wonderful all around. I would recommend Brennan’s to anyone looking for a delicious brunch and beautiful atmosphere in the French Quarter.

   My wife and I have been visiting New Orleans since 1984. Brennans was and remains a must every time we visit. Spectacular food and ambiance, and of course the Bananas Foster! Don’t visit New Orleans and miss Brennans! You will regret it!

   From the minute you step into the restaurant to the time you leave a meal at Brennan's is a memorable experience. The food and service are excellent. The room is charming. What's not to like? On our visit, I carelessly spilled a full glass of water on the table. Within minutes, before I had even had a chance to report it, a staff person arrived with a new tablecloth. He removed all the silverware and glasses, took off the wet cloth, and replaced it. Great, attentive service. We were so impressed.

    Average food at an expensive price. Service was acceptable, but not particularly attentive. I was disappointed. Expected a far better experience. I think they may be resting on their reputation from years ago.

    We have been visiting Brennan’s for several years now and were extremely disappointed this time. The food was nothing to write home about. Dishes that we traditionally ordered were completely different. We always left feeling wowed but this time it was nothing special. The service is always great but the food was completely off.

    Food is sub par - super salty over cooked, steak had a weird consistency; service was sub par, we were in and out in under 45… due to the crazy wait of my partners drink, She took off the Sazerac we waited for for 20 minutes and gave it to him in a to go cup… so I guess that was a win? I had been dying to go here for years and get the banana foster and refused to spend any more money in this place. Super upset by this experience. So much for our last meal in New Orleans. We won’t be back.

    The service here was awesome. I was disappointed with the duck as it was lukewarm and overly rare, even for this girl who loves rare. Perhaps it would be a 10 with a different entree choice

    Food: Outstanding, overall! It’s really great to see the creative approach Brennans is taking to classic New Orleans food. The octopus étouffée may be one of the most innovative takes I have ever seen with the fish, and I could have eaten another. The gumbo is divine, while the turtle soup trended on the verge of too salty. The blackened redfish had an incredible presentation and was a really well-balanced dish - if not particularly hot by the time I got to the table - while the “cioppino” fish was over-cooked. Tasty though; great sauce! The duck could have been rendered more and was chewy, but was extremely flavorful. The scallops were perfection. As for desserts, the carrot cake is so clever, and perfectly executed, that it really stole the spotlight from the others. Pair that with the vibrant Fitzgerald, and you almost feel bad for the bananas - as delicious as ever, but wouldn’t be my top pick. Service - hit and miss, but mostly miss. The bar service and sommelier were great, but the wait staff were either stretched thin or having an off night. Everything took longer than it should from greeting to payment. We had to seek out our own silverware for our main courses (yet their delivery was orchestrated perfectly!), and the wine service abruptly stopped mid-dinner, which was a shame, because would have gotten another bottle and had to fetch what was left of our wine from the bucket across the room and top off our glasses. The odd thing was the rest of the restaurant seemed really bustling and happy, with attentive servers everywhere. It was almost like we were at a different restaurant in the front. The attention stemming from notable awards is always a double-edged sword, but Brennan’s food is definitely living up to the hype. I’m being hypercritical, but feel that’s warranted with the price point. Definitely put this on your list for New Orleans and I’m sure your experience will be wonderful!

    Portions were insulting! We left hungry! Servers seemed lax and confused! 2 ounces of ribeye although cooked perfectly but really $44? You also had no Budweiser beer and replaced it with a beer that tasted nothing like Bud and didn’t even offer a taste of the replacement just went ahead and gave it to us and charged us ! Very disappointed I’ve been here 3 previous times which were fabulous very disappointing this time 😞will not return and will not recommend it .

    Service is excellent. Food is good, not great, depending what you order. Prices are quite high for what you get. Loved the bananas foster. Eggs benedict was ok, didn't love the lemoniness of the hollandaise with eggs. Fun time though.

    Service was atrocious, ordered coffee at the start of brunch, 30 minutes later still had not brought it. This is after asking about it 2 additional times. Ordered mimosas, brought out the wrong number. Asked to split check, screwed it up every way possible. Better service at Mcdonalds. Food was pretty good, very original dishes, great presentation and always a beautiful setting.

    Enjoyed dinner with family. The Entrees we ordered were ribeye, and duck. The duck was really tough and hard to eat. The ribeye was a unique cut (did not resemble a typical ribeye) but was quite flavorful and little fat. We had table side bananas foster was a great experience and quite tasty. Service staff was fantastic. Glad we tried it but do not think it was worth the price we paid.
