    If you come to Houston, Brennan’s is a must! The service was outstanding; absolutely superior! Ambiance is lovely. The restaurant certainly attracts an older crowd. Food was good, but nothing special. It’s the entire experience that is special!

    This was a lovely experience. Though I have been to Graces many times, they sat us in a separate bar/table area just to the left of the reception podium. I never even knew it existed. I am now spoiled as I will be disappointed if I am not able to get seated there in the future. It had a wondeful ambiancve. The servers was first rate. They tended to us mindfully without being intrusive. The pork pot roast I had and the fried chicken my date had were great. She especially raived about the brussel sprouts. They were delicious. We did not mean to shut the place down as when we left all the tables in main dining area had been stacked. This was a bit embarrassing, but overall it was about as nice a dining experience as you could get. Nicely done.
