Incredible food, amazing staff and a historic building! Eggs hussarde, duck confit hash, and bananas foster were beautifully presented, delicious and memorable. The gumbo and turtle soup appetizers were great, but just on par with other nice restaurants in the area. Staff is knowledgeable about the history of the building and dishes as well. The stories were interesting and added to the atmosphere.

It’s a magical place that truly takes you back in time. The food is absolutely worth the price. The waiters are extremely polite and attentive. The music is perfectly curated and fits the atmosphere beautifully. The banana dessert with ice cream has a unique story behind it, and they prepare it right in front of you before serving it.

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.

I’m always nervous about renowned tourist favorite restaurants but Brennan’s is always amazing, the servers and hostesses are welcoming, the food and cocktails uniformly perfect and the decor and atmosphere amazing. This time I by mistake made a reservation for March instead of February - but despite the fact the restaurant was fully booked - they found a way to get us in without a wait!! Amazing 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

We spent several days in New Orleans and ate at a few fine dining places, but Brennan's was by far the highlight of our culinary adventures in New Orleans! We came in for brunch, and every minute was superb. The wait staff was so friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is so beautifully decorated and pleasant. We started with a delicious Irish coffee and Bloody Mary. My crab cake appetizer was really special, creatively done with the freshest ingredients and perfectly fried exterior. The turtle soup is a must try! The shrimp and grits had a fun presentation twist, and my husband's duck confit hash browns were out of this world. Of course, we got the bananas foster for dessert. They make the ice cream locally and prepare it in a special way so it doesn't turn to soup with the banana and sauce. It was so delicious and such a fun experience. The "cherry on the cake"? The coffee with chicory is probably the best coffee I've ever had!

My son and I made Sunday brunch reservations after seeing rave online reviews, and Brennan’s did not disappoint. We were seated immediately upon arrival at a double-linen, eloquently organized, low-top table in the dining room, with views of the courtyard. I enjoyed the turtle soup as an appetizer and the perfectly prepared duck confit hash for my entree. My son was delighted with his gumbo soup and his medium-rare hanger steak with a sunny-side-up egg. They did not skimp on the alcohol in either our Brandy Milk Punch or Irish coffee. Of course, we had their world-famous Bananas Foster prepared table-side for our dessert. This was our second restaurant during our New Orleans vacation, and we used it to set the bar for what to expect from fabulous food and service. Door man. Excellent service, and every single staff member greeted you when you walked by. Brilliant linens and silverware. They even had someone who scraped the breadcrumbs off the table between servings. Only a collared shirt is required for brunch. The price is consistent with the experience, food, and ambiance. I would highly recommend Brennan’s for an upscale restaurant experience.

We brought friends from out-of-town here (first time for them). We all enjoyed our selections. Shared plates and had some lagniappe cotton candy (long story). Service was excellent. Food, of course, delish. And a wonderful environment to dine.

First off, I have to mention how nice and friendly all the servers are, especially Bailey! She was so kind, always had a smile, and was very attentive. Now, for the food...talk about delicious! Everything was so flavorful and beautifully plated, especially the banana foster experience you get! Definitely will be coming back so I can try more dishes (and get the banana foster again lol!)

We came for a late night dinner at the bar during Mardis Gras. We were seated right away and the bartenders were so friendly and entertaining and engaging. It was an excellent meal and so nice to chat while we ate. We shared a few options and everything was excellent. We have the little crab claws to start with some baked oysters. Both were delicious and perfect for sharing. For the mains, we split the steak dish and a rock shrimp dish. They went very well together and were so yummy!! The Mac and cheese was also great for sharing and I have a bourbon cream to finish. They were even nice enough to make a gin fizz. It was perfect!

Brennan's is an absolute must in New Orleans. We opted for the $80 tasting menu instead of ordering à la carte, and it was the right call — every single dish was delicious. The standout courses were the oysters and the redfish, both exceptional. The famous bananas foster was not included in the tasting menu, but so many tables around us were ordering them that we got to watch the tableside preparation — a show in itself. The experience was unhurried and elegant, but the food arrived relatively quickly. Highly recommend the tasting menu for anyone who wants to get a real sense of what Brennan's can do. We'll be back.
