    Top notch as always. The food is always delicious, the drinks are great, and the service is personal and professional. One of our long-time favorites in New Orleans, and it has stayed consistently excellent through many years. Bravo.

    Started with a salad but found a hair at the bottom of the plate. Service started great but quickly deteriorated as well. After receiving our food before our cocktails we were pretty frustrated with the experience, especially for the value.

    Ate here for my birthday. Was a little disappointed that there wasn’t really any acknowledgement of it being my birthday other than the host mentioning it when we checked in. Dessert on the house or something similar would have been nice. The service was impeccable and for the most part the food was good. My husband had seafood gumbo which was a little thin for his liking; although the flavor was good. His sheepshead entree was delicious. I had the Bistro Salad. They were out of the Spinach and Strawberry Salad which was my first choice. The Bar-b-que shrimp I had as my entree had a very mushy texture and no flavor. Very disappointing. When it came time for dessert again they were out of our first choice-the lemon and strawberry cake. Sensing a pattern of strawberries being the ingredient they were out of-which is odd since it is the height of strawberry season on Louisiana. We had the lemon pie instead with raspberry sauce. It was decent. Overall, a mixed experience for us.

    Great food, as always. The jazz for the jazz brunch is a chill fun soundtrack for an iconic staple in the New Orleans food scene. Brennan’s for breakfast, and their sister branch Mr. Bs for brunch. Mr Bs is always a great 5star meal. But if your visiting New Orleans, I suggest doing the jazz brunch to get the full experience. Also the price will be surprisingly low if your visiting from abroad, NYC, LA ect. Better food, and the surprise when the bill arrives is a good one. Love this place Cheers

    Simply put, the food was spectacular and the service even better. Townsend and Tess took wonderful care of us and we wouldn't hesitate to go back. The BBQ shrimp is something that's a must have (if you don't mind getting a little messy - but they provide you with a bib!) and the bacon-wrapped shrimp and grits were devine!! Only miss for us was the dessert...bread pudding and lemon ice box cake were good, but not as good as others we'd had. Atmosphere was very comfortable and casual. Will definitely visit again.
