    Food was good but the lack of service ruined the experience. Waiter brought wrong drinks then tried to charge us for them. Also totally forgot about us and couldn’t remember what I ordered. Complained to staff but they were like “oh well sorry”. Disappointing experience!

    Had not been to Brennan’s in years and it felt different, service was on point and atmosphere was great. We had breakfast and have very picky kids, ask for off menu items and they will make. Of course no visit is complete without Bananas Fosters and it did not disappoint.

    The visit couldn't have been better for us. I don't know if we've ever had a better restaurant experience. They went above and beyond in every aspect. Every course was amazing. All of the wait staff were professional, warm, and engaging. We actually hugged our waitress at the end of the meal, it was that special.

    All I can say is “meh”. Limited lunch menu, very small portions and just nothing special. The bananas foster was fun to see prepared table side, and it was tasty, so that’s a plus. Otherwise, an uninspired menu and bland dishes at a considerable cost. Not worth it in my opinion.

    The food was fine, but for the price paid (and the trouble to get a reservation) I had expected everything to be excellent. We went for brunch and ordered a Milk & Honey Blintz, Eggs St. Charles, Eggs Frattau & Bananas Foster. Meal was ~$120 with no alcohol. Servers were attentive and professional. I enjoyed the 'show' of the tableside preparation of the Bananas Foster. It was definitely the highlight of the meal, and probably the only thing I would get if I ever were to return. I'm glad I went and have it checked off my bucket list, but it is not a place that I'd choose to go back to or recommend.

    An absolutely amazing meal for brunch. Hadn’t been to Brennan’s for quite a few years and it’s hard to believe but it was better than we remember. The quality of ingredients, skillful execution, and creativity made this a meal we all will remember for years. Highly recommend Brennan’s for brunch!!
