    This was an amazing breakfast. The service was exceptional. It had been some time since I had dined at Brennan’s (over 20years ago). Has not lost its charm or sparkle.

    Apolline is a hidden gem! The food was delicious, the service was exceptional and the ambiance was perfect for a great dining experience! I had a 6PM reservation which had me arriving still in time for happy hour. Had $3 off a glass of wine and I chose the cheese board from the starters selections. For my main course I chose the cold smoke grilled pork chop. OUTSTANDING! And for dessert the bread pudding, of course! I highly recommend dining at Apolline. I will be returning, I need to try the scallops & shrimp next time.
