- OTOpenTable DinerNew Orleans / Louisiana •1 review5.0Dined on Jan 2, 2023We went to Brennans for a New Years dinner as well as a late celebratory dinner for my 2 year olds birthday dinner. I had a 2 year old, a 6 year old and my spouse present. My children were fairly noisy, and playful and the wait staff were very friendly and helpful as well as brought them cotton candy and treats to the table. I never felt uncomfortable having children present for fine dining, and had a great dinner experience. The traditional cabbage and black eyed pea single bite appetizer spoons were delicious, even my 6 year old loved it. My waitress was a sweet younger woman originally from New England, She wore glasses and I hate that I can’t remember her name, but she was very soft spoken and sweet and made the experience much more enjoyable. We will be back to try the 2nd quarter menu but this time as an adults only New Orleans vacation.More infoBrennan's$$$$• Creole• French Quarter•4.8

Discover French Quarter
The French Quarter of New Orleans is one of the oldest neighborhoods in the U.S., renowned for its party atmosphere and delectable food. Creole and Cajun menu staples, including jambalaya, crawfish etouffee and gumbo are on the menu, but there are so many more tastes to sample in the French Quarter. Nestled on The Quarter's many side streets, you'll find many oyster bars and quaint coffee houses. You can also visit one of the many corner grocery stores, most of which feature small kitchens in the back. These hidden gems typically serve up delicious cheeseburgers, homemade mac and cheese, and the two most famous sandwiches in the Big Easy: muffulettas and po boys. For dessert, you can grab a freshly made beignet or authentic praline and take a walk along the banks of the Mississippi River.
