- OTOpenTable DinerWashington, D.C. Area •2 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoThe fried chicken hummus was absolutely fantastic… And definitely qualifies as a main course. We also shared the Mediterranean salad… It was delicious. My husband followed it up with a Sherman kebab… Though we were very full by that point, and definitely could have left that off of our order I have the moose for dessert which is lovely. Our server, Ryan , was fantastic and perfectly attentive.More infoShayaPrice: Expensive• Israeli• Uptown•4.8

- 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'sPrice: Expensive• Creole• French Quarter•4.7
- SsusanbNew Orleans / Louisiana •8 reviews5.0Dined on Jan 1, 2023La Petite Grocery was as wonderful as it was reputed to be. I went for the blue crab beignets, which were absolutely the best beignets I can imagine. The quantities of food were manageable, appreciated so that there was room for dessert. And the desserts were particularly complex and interesting - we tried all four.More infoLa Petite GroceryPrice: Expensive• French• Garden District•4.8
