    Overall this was a very good experience. The restaurant is nicely laid out. There was music on the patio. The service was excellent. We started with the Crackins' and Caviar (1 caviar, 4 roes) which was very good. We had the blue Cheese salad which could have been excellent but it had too much dressing and got a bit soggy. We ended with the crispy duck with a side of brussel sprouts. Both were very good with the slight exception of the pieces of sliced duck which, weirdly, was too salty. The leg that was on the plate was perfect. We have no idea why the breast part was salty. Overall, I'd eat there again as the menu has a lot to try.

    Everything was delicious. Ordered everything from shareable appetizers through dessert. Service was excellent and servers were attentive. Drinks were served quickly even when ordering impromptu wine when the meal arrived. Wine showed up in minutes so it could be enjoyed with the meal. It really was a perfect meal out with colleagues.

    I had been to Brennen’s almost 50 years ago!!! My father told me to go to Brennens for breakfast and order the “Milk Punch.” And so coming again 50 years later Brennens did not disappoint . Everything about my past experience there came flushing back to me, only this time I appreciated being there even more. It was still so beautiful and the food was amazing. My husband had the Scottish egg dish and I had the Duck egg and Duck meat hash. Superb food and beautiful decor . Don’t miss the Brennens experience. Pictures to follow… we even came back the same day for happy hour cocktails.

    Everything we had was exceptionally flavorful and our waitress was so friendly & helpful with the timing of our courses. The whipped feta and salmon crudo are both sizable appetizers. The smoky aioli and chimichurri added great flavor to the crispy octopus. The ambiance is so quaint and perfect for date night!
