   Great food and excellent service. Steaks are hard to beat. Soufflé was a fun way to wrap up the evening.

   Overall, ambience is a bit better than the food. No major complaints, steaks are 4/5 compared to others in town for price. Wine markup average. Gorgeous grounds and restaurant interior. Definitely a romantic date night spot Outside bar and patio overlooks bayou

   We have dined at Brenners many times and has always been my favorite. However, and I am sad to say I was a bit disappointed with this visit. It was a special occasion and we were seated at a cramped table at the entrance to the kitchen…no view of the wonderful setting for the restaurant. Did get to hear all the waiters discussing dinner platings and wine selections for the tables they were serving. Probably should have said something, but didn’t. Sorry lamb is no longer on the dinner menu, only appetizer.

   Service, atmosphere and food were spectacular! We had the Texas Kisses as an appetizer. Our steaks were delicious as was the au gratin potatoes and crispy Brussels sprouts. It was the perfect place to celebrate our anniversary!

   When we first arrived, one receptionist showed us a nice table next to the window that would be ours. Then, when our guests arrived on time, we discovered another group had already been seated at our window table, so we were given a table in the middle of the room, in a much busier and noisier area. Service was very slow and waiter forgot to bring French fries our two grandsons ordered (had to wait for additional time for the fries), Asked for salt and he did not bring it over until the meal was already finished.

   Service, inside, was excellent. Even my daughter complemented our waiter. Outside was different. I knew the waiter was busy, but I was hoping he could take a few seconds to take a picture. His answer was rude. He said he was too busy and he did not have time. No sorry or anything to soften the refusal. This was the only sore spot in our visit. Without this it would have been more memorable.

   Our dishes at brunch were spot on perfect. Service was with a smile and prompt. We so enjoyed looking out on a rainy day, and when it cleared, we continued the afternoon sitting at the Blue bar overlooking the Bayou. A perfect 5 hour Afternoon!

    First impression of this establishment is wow. The pond, the trees and outlook view is amazing. Inside gives you this classy/romantic ambiance that is unmatched to any place I’ve been too in years. The service was excellent and was educated thoroughly on the type of wine they serve. This is not a goodbye but a see you soon.
