Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Ryan Hacker

From the OpenTable editors: The place to be seen sipping bubbles at Benedict brunch, Brennan’s is one of the most stunning restaurants in New Orleans—long before the era of Instagram. Think black-and-white tile floors, a pastel pink exterior, and minty fresh leather booths, with character dating back to 1946. Bananas foster was invented here, and suited servers still fire it up tableside. The accolades keep rolling in: It's a James Beard semifinalist, Condé Nast Traveler world favorite, and Wine Spectator darling.

    It was my birthday. I had commented on the reservation that it was my birthday. Brennans did something so surprising and unusual that it really made my day. At the end of dinner they brought out a huge cotton candy cake. The service was excellent and the food scrumptious as always. Thank you Brennans for a lovely birthday breakfast.

    Odd to have elderly lady asked to remove her hat to enter dining room. Not a ball cap, a hat. Late being seated, 15 minutes after reservation. Food fabulous, as always. Bananas Foster had to be eaten with coffee spoons, since no other cutlery offered or within reach. Major efforts to get parking validated due to lack of paper receipt.

    Brennans never disappoints. Always top notch service and food. The brunch corn cake with fresh blueberries was divine.

    As always we enjoyed our brunch at Brennans. The food was wonderful as was the atmosphere. Our only challenge was that we waited a very long time for our food . Our waiter even came and apologized for the delay. But our visit was delightful.

    We had a delightful waiter (Steven). Very attentive and friendly. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and suggested a wonderful vegetarian option which was amazing. (Did notice that our food took longer to arrive to our table. Tables next to us arrived after we were seated and after we ordered, received their food first). Still five stars ⭐️

    We had a wonderful time at Brennan’s. Our waiter Christian was superb throughout including making the Blue Mountain Coffee and, of course, the famous Bananas Foster. Both of our entree’s were great. Too bad we don’t live nearby!!

    We were celebrating a major job promotion, it was on my reservation notes. Not a single employee from the host, the server or the manager even mentioned our celebration. We had to wait 20 minutes past our reservation time to be seated, food was mediocre at best. The mushroom side dish was undercooked and under seasoned and we sent it back, the other side dish of Mac and cheese was so dry we had to ask for more cheese sauce just to eat it. Other Brennan’s locations I’ve been to would never allow this poor experience. I won’t come back to this location. Celebration was spoiled and the food didn’t make up for it.
