    Very good food. The service was great and my wife and I both ordered items that we wouldn't normally have ordered. We wanted a true New Orleans experience with its cuisine. Its hard to compare to anything due to its uniqueness. $130 for the two of us. Not outrageously expensive and the service was top notch.

    Beautiful restaurant that is historic and has delicious food. The banana foster table side is a must!

    Archaic men’s dress code is a hard pass for me.

    Michael was absolutely incredible! He took the time to show me all around the place. It was truly unforgettable food and the ambiance is to die for. Thank you so much, Michael, for helping me capture the charm of the whole restaurant and see every bit of it! You are a gem!

    We celebrated a birthday here and had dinner. It was an amazing experience, thanks to our waitress, Joni. She was friendly, and her service was impeccable! Our experience was great, starting from how we were greeted at the door, to when we left.

    Local folks down in the quarter for the weekend. Hadn't been to Brennans in 30 plus years and wanted to give it a go. A bit of mixed reviews on my visit. Eggs Hussard was awesome .... great brunch dish and Brennans own signature way of doing the classic Benedict ... add a Marchand de Vin sauce. Gumbo was solid but not spectacular, Creole style with a tomato base and light roux. The turtle soup a fail. Cumin overpowered and didnt belong in the dish, much less with such an over-powering hand. Don't miss the coffee cake a winner. Service was slowwww. 15 minutes before being acknowledged and dishes seemed to take decades between courses. Especially considering our simple order with no table side stuff to bog it down. We did watch the table side dishes being done and it was quite entertaining. Overall value was not great ... $28 for two eggs and English muffin with a tablespoon of sauce ... mind you, no potatoes or even a simple garnish adding to the plate cost seemed excessive but it was a big name and in the French Quarter.

    A New Orleans classic, and well deserving of the title. Last week saw my second and third visits to Brennan's for brunch and then bubbles in the courtyard respectively, with these two visits coming just over a year since I first went. Brilliantly, standards were every bit as high as they were when I first went. The environment, the ambiance and the service were all fantastic, with wonderful attention to detail. For brunch, I couldn't make up my mind what to have, so took full advantage of their classic brunch menu, which offers smaller portions of a selection of their classics. Each course of we superb. Highly recommended, and I'll certainly be back next time I'm in the city.
