    We were a party of 8 that ordered pretty much all the small plates and passed them around the table. It was the perfect amount of food and all the dishes were delicious. Thank you, Michael, for being so accommodating and giving us great, friendly service.

    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.

    An amazing experience from the moment we walked into the restaurant. We were met and greeted at the reservation desk by the manager Ian Turkmen, a led in a beautiful setting where Rickie (our waiter) guides us through a wonderful 3 course meal. There were 9 of us and you never know if all the entrees ill turn out right, they were perfect, and the baked Alaska at the end was to die for. Truly a great experience all around, also a great wine list!
