Editorial Review for Brennan's Restaurant – by Pableaux Johnson
The Scene
A mixed group of brightly clad tourists and smartly dressed regulars. More temperate seasons send diners to the sunny courtyard. Service is relaxed and attentive.
The Food
Brennan's trademark breakfast cocktails ("eye openers") and upscale egg-related dishes make for a decadent (if pricey) midday meal. Sophisticated and butter-rich French Creole dishes dominate. Eggs Nouvelle Orleans is a deliciously simple concoction of sauteed crabmeat topped with brandy bechamel sauce. Other classics include eggs Sardou (with artichoke bottoms, creamed spinach and hollandaise) and eggs Hussarde (topped with marchands de vin sauce, shallots and demi-glace). The kitchen offers multicourse brunches with nearly identical names (typical Creole breakfast, typical New Orleans breakfast, traditional Brennan breakfast). If you opt for one, double check before your server heads for the kitchen.

I was a bit surprised reading the reviews. I have always had a wonderful meal and a fantastic waiter. I was there last in April. My husband and I went for an anniversary and we ate turtle soup, which I could make a meal out of just that!!... well... maybe some Bannana's Foster too ; )
Pros: Great place to eat drink and have a great time.
Cons: Take a taxi.

I went here after hearing so many people rave about their brunch. I ordered Brennan's version of hash. It resembled sloppy joe mix covered in beef gravy, tasted worst than it looked. Did I mention the hair-tie rubber band I found in the mix. After pointing this out to our waiter, he took my plate, brought it back 20 minutes later, cold, with my half eaten eggs resting under a new layer of gravy. He then proceded to make the comment "is this plate rubber band-free enough for you?". The management was unapologetic and surprised when I didn't think I should have to pay for the experience!!! If your into an experience that'll test you anger management skills, than this joint's for you.
