Just a quick note on the valet parking…don’t mind paying for valet, but why add on a convenience fee? Seems silly…just put it into the price.

This was my second visit to Brenner’s and the overall dinner experience was amazing. Alex was a fantastic server. He was very knowledgeable about anything we asked from wine to dinner to dessert. Looking forward to coming back and will definitely ask to be seated in Alex’s section. The overall ambience is so beautiful. The inside feels like a mountain cabin, the outside was just gorgeous as always. We even got to witness a beautiful outdoor proposal while waiting for our table at the bar. 10/10

I set reservations to celebrate my husband’s birthday. We arrived early to enjoy a drink and the view on the patio. So glad we did! The waitress at the bar was very attentive and took the time to get us checked in for our reservation so we wouldn’t have to go back to the front door and took us straight to our table when time. Our waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu and attentive but could have relaxed a bit and been a little more personable. The food, drinks and dessert were amazing! We had the Texas Kisses, Skirt Steak, Gulf Red Snapper, Bread Pudding and Espresso Martini. This is a beautiful place for a special occasion or a great date night!

This place is nice, and the food is fantastic. The hostess is severely lacking customer service skills. The manager who was observing her poor customer service skills, did not attempt to correct or apologize for it. She couldn’t spell my name. I gave her my phone to see my name, and my reservation time. She flicked my phone, and said, you can take your phone. They didn’t try to accommodate our seating request. For the amount of money you are spending there, you should be treated better. First and only time.

We ordered the 1/2 dozen oysters, crab cake, house salad, filet mignon, German potatoes. Everything was absolutely delicious however would pass on the house salad, one is enough to share but nothing spectacular about it. Oysters were fresh and crisp, steak prepared perfectly with a nice crust. Husband really enjoyed the crab cake. Service and ambiance was incredible. If you’re looking for a date night, great evening with friends, or reason to doll up, I highly recommend.

What a treat! We had delicious brunch (chicken/biscuits/gravy; avocado toast/crispy bacon; excellent Bloody Mary) and as always, the service was exceptional. We love the dramatic interior and pretty setting nestled in the trees and overlooking the bayou. Could not have been better!

The ambiance and scenery are 10/10. The service was great as well. We made reservations and was seated shortly after arriving. My husband got the ribeye steak with the pepper gravy and he said it was 9.5/10. I got the snapper, I thought was a little over cooked and bland, the green beans that came with it were under cooked as well. The kids Mac n cheese was pretty good, it was a bit runny but flavors was good. The tenders and fries were also good nothing lacking there. The herb and Parmesan fries were nothing special. Overall I think I’d come back because the ambiance was great and the food was not bad the restaurant itself was more memorable than the meal. Oh, we also got an old fashioned whiskey which was amazing also it was really good top shelf alcohol I would definitely recommend that drink. Also this place is great for events as the outdoor is beautiful and spacious.

Celebrated our Anniversary & the experience was great. We arrived earlier than our reservation time & they showed us to the patio to enjoy. There was light rain so we couldnt enjoy the lawn area but the ambiance was great w/ fire pits,warmers & tvs. The two servers were very attentive to everyone out on the patio. Our dining room server always relit our candle & everyone on the staff always congratulated us on our anniversary & even wrote it on our dessert. Food & cocktails didn’t disappoint. We will definitely return for regular date nights.

Great Brunch on Blu Bar. Our waitress Natalie provided great service while we enjoyed the lush green surroundings & filtered sunshine. The crab cake Benedict was delicious visually & taste. The Waffles were equally fabulous, added 2 over easy eggs. Coffee was fresh & refilled regularly. A perfect brunch outing! We’ll definitely return!

We asked for outside at the time of reservation which did not happen. We had to wait. There should be a note to go earlier even with reservation if you want to sit outside. View was good, food was great. We had a gift card and it took 30minutes for them to run.
