    The service and food were all 10/10. Justin was great, so was supporting staff and nothing we ate (and we ordered A LOT! The charcuterie board, gumbo, pork cheeks, arancini, crab omelette, shrimp and grits, cocktails like the Left Shark, Pear drink, you NAME IT) wasn’t DELICIOUS. This was for brunch so definitely coming back for dinner and just making this a frequent spot. Loved it!

    We arrived a few minutes early and was seated at our reservation time. Waiter came right over to introduce himself and discuss drinks. We ordered a sidecar and a glass of rosè. For food we ordered the mardi gras shrimp (8/10), caesar salad (9/10), gumbo (10/10), broiled red snapper (9/10), lamb chops (10/10), seafood mac and cheese (7/10), & baked potato (6/10). Food came out pretty quick and was hot. Overall, food was good especially the gumbo and lamb chops. The food is a bit pricey but for a special occasion its worth it.

    As usual, we had a very good experience. We had one of our two preferred servers (Rivers and Sarah) take care of us. Rivers was accommodating and attentive; Sarah stopped by to say hello. The Sardinian red was a very good match for the new funghi pizza. We asked Rivers about the availability of fresh thyme for the pizza and he brought some out. It turned a very good pie into an excellent one. The molten chocolate tort was outstanding.

    This is a little gem. While not impressed by the atmosphere when when we walked in, I quickly warmed to it because the wait staff were friendly and attentive without being overly present and the noise level was tolerable and the restaurant has a surprisingly intimate feel despite the fact that we were seated next to the bar, which was not loud. Everyone was happy with their entree, which include the braised rabbit, beef short rib, and a very lightly battered flounder filet that was not at all overly breaded or overcooked. Dessert was fabulous as well, and we found a nice bottle of Montalcino wine for $65.

    Ms. Chalaine was friendly, helpful, and attentive. The food was delicious. We recommend the Eggs Benedict, Eggs Sardou, and, of course, the Bananas Foster. The Brennan's Bloody Mary is one of the best, if not the best. Dining at Brennan's is an enjoyable and relaxing experience.
