Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Ryan Hacker

From the OpenTable editors: The place to be seen sipping bubbles at Benedict brunch, Brennan’s is one of the most stunning restaurants in New Orleans—long before the era of Instagram. Think black-and-white tile floors, a pastel pink exterior, and minty fresh leather booths, with character dating back to 1946. Bananas foster was invented here, and suited servers still fire it up tableside. The accolades keep rolling in: It's a James Beard semifinalist, Condé Nast Traveler world favorite, and Wine Spectator darling.

He was very knowledgeable about the menu and suggested a wonderful vegetarian option which was amazing. (Did notice that our food took longer to arrive to our table. Tables next to us arrived after we were seated and after we ordered, received their food first). Still five stars ⭐️

Not a single employee from the host, the server or the manager even mentioned our celebration. We had to wait 20 minutes past our reservation time to be seated, food was mediocre at best. The mushroom side dish was undercooked and under seasoned and we sent it back, the other side dish of Mac and cheese was so dry we had to ask for more cheese sauce just to eat it. Other Brennan’s locations I’ve been to would never allow this poor experience. I won’t come back to this location. Celebration was spoiled and the food didn’t make up for it.
