Amazing place !! I had heard from my friends that this was a great place to go for a special event and it did not disappoint. Very pricey but you get what you pay for. They had great menu choices that all sounded wonderful !
Food is amazing great great service. Rod was our server and he was fantastic.
If you're a foodie you'll love this place. Very upscale dining and the bar is good spot to drop into on weeknights for a dinner.
Very nice and food was very good very good hospitality
This was my absolute favorite for years but the service is not quite what it was a few years ago.
Odd smells, old salty food, poor treatment of staff and overall a place that saw its hay day a long time ago
Delicious! To me the staff is a crucial part of dining out and this place has very good staff from the moment you step in to the moment you step out. The food again was amazing!
Classic Houston Eatery! Loved the place. If you are having a special occasion be sure to tell them.
A bit pricey $$$$ and limited menu though.
This place was amazing, staff was professional and warm. It was not stuffy or condescending in any way. Food was top notch.
One of my preferred spots for delicious Creole. Very filling. Service is typically good. This place has many good reviews for a reason.
Elegant atmosphere! Service was amazing! Literally the best crab cake I have ever had! The grits were AMAZING! A must try!
Great food, the place had the look and feel that it had been there for sometime while still looking fresh. Old school highback chairs but modern art on the wall. Way too many waiters, but appeared to have a nice rotating menu. Goes without saying the food was awesome and while pricey it seemed about worth the cost. Classic French NOs drinks, did not even bother looking at what beers they had. They have a courtyard I intend to check out next time.
Brennan's is one of my favorite restaurants anywhere! The food has been consistently delicious and perfectly prepared everytime we've been here for the past three decades. Staff is attentive, friendly and fun. I love it! Deserves more than 5 stars, in my opinion.
Thanks the excellent attention the good food and the elegant restaurant
The manager Mr Kelley made my birthday special. My regular waiter Thomas was excellent as always =A+
Great lunch at Brennan's
Food is always top notch...you are waited on
AND you can have a conversation and actually hear the other person.
Outstanding food and service is the norm here, nice for a celebration or a romantic dinner.
We are regulars to Brennan's. The food is great, as you'd expect, but the service has become quite perfunctory, rushed and transactional. Our first experiences here were more personable and special.
Beautiful with great traditional New Orleans cuisine. Pictured is Bananas Foster that they make tableside!
I came here spur of the moment for my birthday and they gave me the red carpet treatment. Francisco was our main waiter and he was fantastic. The drinks were awesome, food was amazing, and service was fast, precise, and welcoming.
The place had a nice feel to it. And had nice ambiance. The food was delicious. The wait staff was friendly.
So Amazing place fabulous food , incredible restaurant in town. Highly recommend!!!
Celebrated our Wedding Anniversary here and it was excellent!!! Everything was perfect!! They even invited the boys to make their own sundaes because their birthdays are in the same month.
Amazing food and event put on for one of our corporate functions. Would definitely go here again.
Always a favorite, this version of Brennan's brings the classic New Orleans fare to the Bayou City. The Brennan's staples are there - turtle soup, gumbo, etc. - but this location has a greater emphasis on gulf coast seafood and traditional steakhouse offerings. Don't miss the Bananas Foster (made tableside) for dessert and grab a praline on your way out.
The room upstairs was pretty. That is the only positive comment I can make. Pork chop was tough, scallops were over cooked, and the creme brulee was not good. Did I mention the room was pretty?
I had the 8oz filet. By far the best steak I have ever had. It cut like butter and was cooked to perfection. Yummy!
Came here for restaurant week and was pretty disappointed. The waiter only seemed to only be interested in selling us wine and didn't take our food order until a full hour after we had sat down. The food was good, but not worth the 3.5 hrs it took for them to serve us a simple 3 course meal. I really wanted to like Brennans, but the service left a lot to be desired for the $$$ price.
This place was actually really bad, 2 of us in the party got the wrong items and the service was midtier.
The gumbo is better at bbs tex-orleans, my grilled fish was dry and bland and cold, my boyfriend's bbq shrimp was messy and wet and bad. We got 4 different desserts and the only one that was good was the bananas foster
Love this place for business lunches. Table cloths, carpet and great big chairs make it easy to talk with your associates. Service is excellent. Very few places like this are left inside the loop in Houston.
creole, mmm, super good. Got there near five, it wasn't very busy. Nothing but enjoyable experiences here. It has a cool atmosphere.
One of the best cajun creole seafood stakehouses in the country. People with sweet teeth, eat your hearts out at the Bannans Foster, creole bread pudding, and strawberry shortcake.
Brennen's: Still doin' it right, Houston/Naw'lins style. :)
For the price, absolutely not worth it. Made 8pm reservations. Our table wasn t ready until 8:45pm. It took an hour and a half from the time I ordered until my food came out. Also, I ordered the duck and not only was it dry, but it also tasted like bad Chinese food.
creole, mmm, my favorite treat. i can say this place does it for me. service is typically good. it has a nice atmosphere.
A New Orleans original in an historic building makes for an unforgettable dining experience. Don't miss the turtle soup and the Bananas Foster, both of which are trademarks. One of the few restaurants in Houston where you really do need to dress up -- no shorts!
I wish I can give more stars for Brennan's .. awesome service from Ramon and one who is from San Antonio( dint catch his name) ..food was excellent..whole experience was flawless.
Worth going if in Houston
Good food, good service and good wine list.
Food quality is good but not great (freshness lacked and tastes a bit jumbled).
Wine list is expensive but a good selection.
Always fantastic for Brunch. Pricey but delicious. Great service.
Great atmosphere, excellent food, very attentive wait staff. Perfect for a romantic dinner or a celebration - Birthday, Anniversary, etc.
Good change of pace from Pappadeux. 5 people at lunch was $440. Yikes!
My husband Clarence and I had a full course dinner. The food was awesome as usual. We often go during the week for lunch or an early Sunday morning brunch. The gumbo was delicious. The fish entree's were fabulous! Service impeccable..The jazz remarkable.
L8 Anniversary present from daughter and the cooking class was wonderful!
Very good food and great service but a bit overrated. Still a traditional place many families go for special events.
My sister and I just came here for our wedding day lunch. Everyone enjoyed their meals and he service was great. I had the grilled fresh fish (Gulf red fish) and also the seafood gumbo. Both were delicious, maybe better than the last time we were here a number of years ago. We were a bit pinched for time, so we had to skip out without the banana foster (so good), but the waiters brought us a nicely decorated plate of pralines with Congratulations written in chocolate. Food start off really quickly, which at first I thought was odd. You are getting your first course within minutes of sitting down. First course - a lobster claw with crab salad over a pickled fired green tomato. Once you finish that course, out comes the next. Second course was an amazing scallop. None of these are small course. We finish this and proceed. Next course was half a quail with some of he best stuffing I have ever had. Sorry no pictures. By this point I realize why food came out so quickly. There was a lot to eat and they needed to give you breaks later in the meal. Highly recommend this restaurant for special occasions.
Always a great experience. Top notch service and food. The happy hour is fantastic, as well.
We have been celebrating birthdays and anniversaries at Brennan s for 20 years. Last night we celebrated our anniversary at Brennan s again. I made the mistake of making our reservation on Open Table instead of calling them directly. When we arrived they had our reservation but none of the information I had provided on Open Table such as a request for main dining room as well as celebrating our anniversary. The seating hostess at first was not helpful as she was placing us in the back room. We explained our requests in seating on our reservation.
At that point the maitre d , Daniel, stepped in and made everything right as well as continuing to come by and see that all was well. We had a lovely evening and would highly recommend Brennan s. Thank you, Daniel.
Very nice ambiance, wonderful service, really great food. An epicurean delight
For a nice white table cloth restaurant, you expect great service for the money you are paying. We received the worst service I have ever experienced in the years my family and I have been going there. We did not get our appetizers until 1.5 hours after we ordered them and our meal 2 hours after ordering... And to make up for it they didn't comp one thing (appetizers or meal) and just brought some desserts instead that we did not need. We will no longer be going back here.
Excellent, Excellent, Excellent all around from the ambiance, service and more importantly the food. Highly recommend!!
Always an amazing experience. Go for the food, go for the atmosphere. Staff is always welcoming
Food was great. Staff was on cordial and courteous.great lighting..
My favorite restaurant in Houston. Enough said. Don't leave without turtle soup!
A gold standard establishment. Superior food. Fantastic staff.
The staff is very attentive, they pay attention to details and make sure you have a great experience there. The food comes in perfect portions not overwhelming sizes. Highly recommend going there
One of my fav locations for Creole. I love this place, great food & service. I had a cousin come into town and asked me to take him back here. Bring your appetite because portions are large.
Absolutely phenomenal renowned fine dining. This place is fantastic. A lovely piece of New Orleans in Houston's midtown. The service is incredible and the food is delicious. There is a reason that this has been a Houston institution for generation. Definitely try the bananas foster, as they make it table side.
Good food and great atmosphere. Service was a bit lacking.
Try the turtle soup. Excellent food. Have the cappacinno.
I called and tried to make a reservation and lady over the phone was very rude. Very unprofessional
One of the finest restaurants in Houston. If for nothing else, go for their brunch and enjoy the turtle soup (to die for) eggs Brennan and finish off with the Banannas Foster. You will not regret it, and if you only have one bellini you won't break the bank
We hold board meetings here several times a year and food and service are always excellent. Private room is quiet up on the second floor and the menu selections are broad and tasty.
This restaurant is beautiful, and the food is seriously delicious. What else can you say besides I'm coming back?!
It was my personal best restaurant i have been to. The staff is great from the minute you walk in. Not toention the food... My family and I had a great time.
My spouse and I stopped in late afternoon, 1:30pm, for lunch. It was fantastic. We were seated in a room upstairs which had a view of the patio area. The waitstaff was great, They were very helpful with my dietary needs. We both ordered seafood dishes that were yummy! And for desert we had bananas foster. Double Yummy!
The experience is superb. I do not see how anyone could complain about the bananas foster not being arm enough, they make it right at your table. I have always found it exquisite.
Don't really have much to say about Brennan's. Been there a handful of times for brunch mostly. Bring $5 cash for parking, it's worth it, and pretty cheap. Was lastly there a bridal shower. Staff were attentive, the jazz trio stopped by for about 10mins. It's chique.
Brennan's was wonderful. The food was delicious and staff was great. We sat at the chief's table and treated like kings and queens. I would definitely go back.
The atmosphere is amazing! Located along Buffalo Bayou, it is beautiful and peaceful. The food is delicious as always. Wonderful place for couples and families.
Our number one restaurant for a celebration of special occasions. Always makes us feel like royalty . Super fresh food, a huge selection of wine and drinks, first class service.
Looking forward to coming back with my friends. This place has an awesome atmosphere. Feels similar to a restaurant in New York I loved.
I love the awesome food selections and of course the outstanding customer service.
My favorite location for quality creole. I wanted to post a food pic but it looked so good I couldn't stop. There was fast, efficient, and courteous service.
Great service. Delicious food and laid back atmosphere.
A little too expensive for tge quality of food, but good place for dining on occasions.
