tomato jam in The Roost Burger was great, as well as Banana Foster. Close to Michelin level service when not busy during happy hour

We just went for drinks and the bananas foster! Didn't disappoint! The atmosphere is upscale creole in historic The French Quarter. The decor is stunning and the staff are professional and kind.

Breakfast at Brennan's is famous for a reason!

Shawn was absolutely amazing. He was very knowledgeable about both the history of Brennan's and all the menu items, offered some great food and drink recommendations, and gave us a great birthday experience complete with cotton candy, cake, ice cream, and a Brennan's apron as a gift!

We also loved the breakfast-and-a-show spectacle of the classic World Famous Bananas Foster. Both my Eggs Benedict and the dessert were delicious, and the restaurant itself is so beautiful! The group was in agreement that this was the best breakfast of our Mardi Gras trip, so we can't wait to come back!

We stopped in and was able to get seating at the bar area. The food and drinks were awesome. The bartender was very present and even helped with recommendations for our evening. A must would be the Egg St Charles. Top of the list for brunch items!

02-22-2026. Would have been 5 star review rating had our server, Jamie, paid attention to our table. Had to ask for bread, had to ask for refills of our iced tea every single time, dirty dishes and glasses left on our table. Food was wonderful but service with Jamie was lacking.

Brennan’s has a marvellous location and a truly mesmerising atmosphere. You arrive expecting something special, and reservations are clearly essential. It was very busy, though even with a reservation we waited about 25 minutes for the table, which set the tone a bit more transactional than welcoming.

Service was polite but distant; without much eye contact or smiles it’s easy to feel more like a number than a guest. Tables lingered uncleared and no one asked about allergies. Drinks took, just like the food, quite a while and the wine needed a reminder before it appeared. The Majesty's Handbag is surely recommended but keep in mind it's a shared drink with straws.

The menu shows creativity, yet execution needed more attentjon. Several dishes eventually arrived but where cold. A few flavours were surprisingly muted.

Brennan’s already has the setting people come for. With tighter organisation at the front, warmer hospitality and sharper pacing, the experience could match the atmosphere.

I have never been to a restaurant with better service. We got there for breakfast right at 8:00 when it opened, and there was a line of wait staff ready to take everyone who was waiting with us to their tables.

The food was delicious, and impeccably prepared. I would have happily returned for lunch and dinner, just to sample more of the menu.
