    Our table was a quiet table for four in one of the corner tables. From the beginning our waiter took our drink order but gave us time to reconnect with old friends before asking us if we were ready to order. Two of us ordered off the main menu and two the $99 three course special which, by the way, had plenty of good choices. All of our meals were excellent. We were the last table to leave that evening (10:15) but know one pushed us to leave.

    We had the Flounder Pontchartrain and the softshell crab. The fish was good, some of the oysters on the plate were chewy. The softshell crab was tasty but served cold which seemed a bit strange. The service and ambiance were great.

    As always, Brennan's outshone itself. A newly designed bar area. The food, as always, was superb. Our servers, Joe and Sullivan, took great care of us, especially showing extra attention to my wife on her birthday. Brennan's is and will always be our favorite Houston restaurant.
