                                                          Breakfast at Brennan's is a classic New Orleans experiences that can't be missed. The crawfish quiche was to die for. Their noted eggs Benedict lived up to our high expectation. Great fried potatoes and biscuit too. Service and atmosphere are the best.

                                                          Brennan’s is a beautiful restaurant with a friendly warm staff. Banana Foster and Oysters J’aime were outstanding. The rabbit and fish with almonds were good but not outstanding.

                                                          Terrance was amazing. The attention to the details was unmatched. We have waited over 10 years to experience Brennan’s and it was surpassed.

                                                          Our experience could not have been better. It was my birthday and my wife mentioned that when booking on open table. First, the service is exceptional. They not only mentioned my birthday, they sent over a special desert and gave me a Brennan's apron to take home. It was very special and the best I've ever experienced at any restaurant. This was the best part of visiting New Orleans! Great job Brennan's!

                                                          Outstanding food impeccable presentation but you pay also in waiting. In good humor all night so we didn’t mind delays course by course and the wait for the table was allayed by a complementary flute of champagne, so they try. Bucket list dining experience so really no complaints.
