Iz ReyesMay 11, 2019Great place! Service was phenomenal and the food was excellent! Brennan’s lived up to the hype!!!
Meg R.April 16, 2011Go here for brunch. Must tries include: baked apple (enough to share between 2 people), Tasso ham omelette, and bananas foster. Good for big groups, but make reservations.- Christina WardFebruary 19, 2018Everything is delicious! And the setting is beautiful. Check out the turtle pond in the back.
Joyce WixsonSeptember 17, 2018Classic food served in pink and green decor overlooking courtyard - romantic spot for leisurely lunch.
Rajiv NathMay 10, 2019Excellent breakfast- brunch ! Lovely Bloody Mary , eggs benedict & avocado toast 😋- Bachelor10April 17, 2011Order the turtle soup to start; bananas foster to end; and just about any egg dish in between. Go home and tell all your friends you ate turtle soup... and brunch. Watch them sigh with envy. Read more
AmateurConciergeApril 15, 2023Opulent dining spaces. Classic and classy Cajun. The bread pudding is phenomenal
Linda MSJune 1, 2015Just recently reopened, great as always! The bread pudding is to die for!! Even better than before.
Viola K.March 14, 2013Eggs nouveau Orleans - a protein overdose. The service is a little slow. If a nice gentleman comes up to you and asks about your food, that's Mr. Brennan.
Ricky SherrillMarch 14, 2017A must visit when in NOLA to experience "Fine Dining" the way it should be.
Jill LawsonJuly 7, 2015Visit Mama and her turtle family while enjoying a drink in the magical courtyard.
MichelleSeptember 16, 2011Amazing Brunch. I’m particularly fond of the Strawberries and Cream, Eggs Nouvelle Orleans, and their Bananas Foster is to die for. -KD
Greg StephensonMay 15, 2018Brunch was incredible, and loved the ambiance. Recommend the eggs Benedict
Jackie GApril 16, 2017Do the champagne happy hour! Delicious and great value!! I believe it is every day 2-7.
Alexandre MunhozJuly 19, 2018Oh those Benedict eggs... I wish I could fly to NOLA every weekend to have it.. must go!
- Scott CaldwellDecember 29, 2012Food's great, especially the must-have Bananas Foster (it was invented here). But plan on a couple hours. Service is good, but they're in no rush!
BravoNovember 29, 2010Classic restaurant with rich history and flavors. Southern traditional flavors executed perfectly throughout each course. -Tiffany Derry, Top Chef
Ed KaiserFebruary 29, 2016Breakfast was fantastic. Had to get the bananas foster to share. This was not our waiter, but our waiter was very slow. Had to actually flag down another waiter to get our check.
Cass AndersonFebruary 18, 2011They invented bananas fosters!...the prix fixe meal is the way to go. I've never been so full.
Matty ClarkMay 24, 2013Nice classy restaurant. Husband and I split the three course meal due to price and portion control.
Aileen TseJanuary 18, 2016the place that invented the bananas foster. amazing though probably not the healthiest :)
Chris KellyMay 9, 2013Incredible food! Ask for Bobby as your waiter. He is incredible, fun, friendly and professional.
Colby SmithJune 5, 2012We went here only to have Bananas Foster, which surprisingly wasn't a problem. We were not dressed up, so go on in and get the classic dessert.
