   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!

   We were on vacation in New Orleans and know about Brennan’s reputation. Had to go. We were not disappointed. Meal was great and had to have the banana foster for dessert. Perfect meal.

   Strange meet and greet where you are told to sit on bench and wait, not a friendly welcome. Food was nice. Lacked ambience

   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

    This is literally the most amazing restaurant. We went for dessert to celebrate our daughter’s 21st birthday. There were 7 of us. They treated us like we were their best customers. We would definitely recommend it to anyone. It’s pricey, but worth it.

    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

    What a special find! My daughter's best friend, who has family in NOLA, recommended Atchafalaya to me and my husband, there on a business trip. I am so happy we took her up on this one. It was a chance to get away from the French Qtr and experience a neighborhood gem. In a converted home, the architecture and design is homey and welcoming, with high ceilings and bright rooms. I had trouble deciding among the favorites in other reviews I'd read, but decided on the duck hash. It was a perfect blend of flavors, including the fresh mango and berries. My only wish was for more duck and fewer potato chunks. My husband is not an adventurous eater, but they smartly offer a la carte eggs any style, bacon, and biscuits. He started with a bowl of perfectly balanced roasted garlic soup, which was a daily special, so delicious that after my meal i found myself deciding between dessert and my own bowl of that soup! I went with the homemade strawberry and Meyer lemon sorbet, a perfect end to a perfect meal. I strongly recommend venturing out of the French quarter for a special brunch.

    From start to finish this place was incredible. The service, the food, the storytelling all lead to such an incredible experience. Not only the best breakfast we had in New Orleans but one of the best brunches we’ve ever been to (shout out that omelette du fromage). Kendrick could not have been more on point. 100/10 would recommend.

    We went celebrating a birthday, and they made it special, for sure. We, of course, got the bananas foster, but everything was better than I could handle. I wanted to kiss the chef. The omelette du fromage was so rich and flavourful. The bread was so fresh. The drinks went down scary smooth. They even gave us a birthday cake, topped with cotton candy!
