This is a place where I expected to be wowed, and wasn't. The service was sub-par, the food was average... it was a nice looking place. The dessert was amazing, which was kind of a requirement for the company that invented bananas foster. The best aspect, though, was the bartender -- who had been going to Brenan's for so long, he knew the history of much of the restaurant, and he took the time to show us around (by the time our slow/bad service was over, they were about to close). It was fascinating learning about everything! Great guy -- he alone was worth the visit. And, at the end, they give you homemade pralines (really good pralines, if you like that sort of thing).
