    One of my favorite restaurants. Beautiful diner room. Great service. The steak and the pork chop were a little tough. Oysters and salad were perfect.

    Truly disappointing. We were early and dressed well, and were immediately relegated to the upstairs dining area. It was a sad, freezing ballroom with no ambiance and even worse service. Other than Dylan, the staff was definitely the D team banquet servers. The food came out hot but was immediately freezing because the room was so cold. There were tons of gnats swarming our table. The “jazz band” came up at the end of our meal and sang 3 half rate songs including The Wheels on The Bus for a table of kids... this was supposed to be their famous Christmas jazz brunch and barely any music was heard. It was truly pathetic and not up to Brennan’s standards. I’m so disappointed to have spent my Sunday here instead of somewhere that values their clients and not just turning tables as fast as possible.

    Brennan’s always hits! The service is fantastic and the food remains outstanding. This visit we tried the Creole Caprese salad - yum, the Crab Cakes - all crab, and the Bread Pudding - decadent. The wait staff was friendly and informative- thanks Hope. And, the restaurant was decorated for the holidays- win, win, win.
