    First time at Luke before a proposal! New brunch spot for us. Wait staff, management, and food were all above par. Murder point oysters were great and you could tell they cleaned the shells which you don’t see often. Pork belly app melted with each bite in the best way. Shrimp and grits/green tomato Benedict were unreal. Big thank you to all the Luke staff for being an unforgettable part of our very special day.

    First night in NO. Food was amazing. I had Grilled Lamb chops but mashed potatos were lacking. GF had pork chops with mashed sweet potatoes and spinach. Salad and seafood gumbo were great starters. Took a while to get drinks. Shouldn’t be that difficult to pour wine and grab a cold can of beer. Overall food was great, atmosphere was great. Live jazz in the club could be heard from all tables in the building w/o having to buy the ticket to enter. Great atmosphere and food.

    Ms. Chalaine was friendly, helpful, and attentive. The food was delicious. We recommend the Eggs Benedict, Eggs Sardou, and, of course, the Bananas Foster. The Brennan's Bloody Mary is one of the best, if not the best. Dining at Brennan's is an enjoyable and relaxing experience.

    An amazing experience from the moment we walked into the restaurant. We were met and greeted at the reservation desk by the manager Ian Turkmen, a led in a beautiful setting where Rickie (our waiter) guides us through a wonderful 3 course meal. There were 9 of us and you never know if all the entrees ill turn out right, they were perfect, and the baked Alaska at the end was to die for. Truly a great experience all around, also a great wine list!
