  • Réveillon Dinner Special

    $125.00 per person

    Dec 10, 2024 - Dec 20, 2024
    We are excited to introduce a wonderful holiday tradition from New Orleans — Réveillon. "Réveillon" means "awakening" in French. This tradition began in the early 1800s when Creole families celebrated Christmas with a large meal after returning from midnight mass. Today, many top restaurants in New Orleans offer Réveillon dinners allowing locals and visitors to enjoy this festive dining experience. Join us during our regular dinner service from Dec. 9 through Dec. 20 for a Réveillon four-course feast with terrific wine pairings for $125 per person.

    Brennan’s always hits! The service is fantastic and the food remains outstanding. This visit we tried the Creole Caprese salad - yum, the Crab Cakes - all crab, and the Bread Pudding - decadent. The wait staff was friendly and informative- thanks Hope. And, the restaurant was decorated for the holidays- win, win, win.

    This is a regular stop for us when we are in Houston or, New Orleans. Classic Louisiana style creole dishes, wonderfully prepared and presented are the main attraction. Lots of nice, fresh gulf fish as well. Great service and lovely room.

    Everything is always perfect when I lunch at Brennan's. Although I have been to Brennan's twice in the within the last 3 weeks, I never received the Lagniappe that was offered via an email. Still, I am never disappointed.

    Classic menu, attentive service, lovely venue (especially the cozy high back chair 4 tops), impressive wine selection. Dinner always feels like a special occasion. So glad Brennan’s continues on strong.
