    We have dined at Brennan’s many times and have always had a wonderful experience both with the food and the service. We recommend the crawfish enchilada and creole capers salad as appetizers. You just can’t go wrong ending your evening with the bread pudding soufflé. YUM!!

    Everything was wonderful as always. The excellence we experienced is what I have come to expect from Brennan’s. I was disappointed they did not have soft shell crabs but the chef took the time to explain why, and that made all the difference. They do not compromise on quality.
