Last night at Brennan s was the BEST dining experience we ever had in Houston! We went there based on a seafood recommendation that was given to my wife. While she loved the grilled fish, I have to testify about the smoked rib!

The chef did an amazing job such that the rib that I had at Brennan s surpasses everything that I ever had in Dallas! It was SO impressive: Well-seasoned, smoky and sweet.

The grits and greens were also the best I ve ever had, and the wine was spot on! My wife raved about the Super Tuscan, and I LOVED that my Pinot Noir was slightly chilled.

I m too embarrassed to comment about our desserts, because it would make us sound like gluttons.

The service was impeccable! Our server (Willem) was remarkable, and the sommelier (Rich) was extremely knowledgeable and helpful to us. The restaurant was fully-booked, but Willem and Rich interacted with us and made us feel that we were the only ones there. The bartender even pitched in. (I think his name was Ensley.)

I like a lot of restaurants in Houston, but I give Brennan s my highest recommendation. I m glad I finally gave it a try. Going forward, Brennan s will be at the top of my list when traveling to Houston.
