Outstanding service from our waitress Ann; superbly delicious and huge portions of meat (only ate half and took home the rest); the chef came out to table to check on us and we showered him with compliments; the entire team from the hostess to the manager to the kitchen staff to the servers were highly professional in their respective duties making the entire experience special. The ambiance was nice to top it off - barely noticed the outside traffic despite location

Tragic start to NYD considering the Bourbon St attack. Brennan’s opened late, we called to confirm our reservation too. Cindy & Sheldon were great. We went w/ Sheldon’s recommendations - Eggs Carpaccio (our fav), Oysters, Eggs St. Charles + Owen’s Scotch Egg. Definitely, we did the Banana Foster. The Musicians were a great addition. We had a better experience here vs Mr. B’s Bistro last night.
