    Taylor our server was nice and engaging for our brunch. Wonderful to have two soups on the menu to choose from on this cold day. The duck cabbage soup was thick and comforting but I will always love the onion soup. Ravioli app...no one does the lemon beurre blanc sauce better than Cafe Degas...we enjoyed the Eggs Benedict, Omelet special and the omg delish grits and grillades...the shared Paris brest rounded out our meal...I love Cafe Degas...it's always a special experience...

    I came to New Orleans for a quick two-day trip to attend a wedding at The Omni, and I’m so glad I made time for brunch at Brennan’s! My best friend was with me, and we celebrated her birthday with a fabulous meal at this iconic spot. From start to finish, our experience was exceptional. The service was flawless—attentive, friendly, and professional. Our server made sure we were well taken care of, and the food? Absolutely delicious. Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. A special highlight was when Jason, the manager, took us on a short tour of the restaurant. The ambiance is nothing short of breathtaking. I can’t even begin to describe how stunning the space is, with its elegant décor and warm, welcoming atmosphere. It's truly a feast for the eyes as much as it is for the stomach. As a Las Vegas native, I’ve dined at some great places, but Brennan’s stands out. I can’t wait to come back to New Orleans and visit again. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a top-notch culinary experience. 10/10—absolutely loved it!

    Service is great, although you have your own server, the other staff does not ignore you if you seem to need something. The cooks make sure the food is seasoned and cooked perfectly. The outdoor patio feels great, well lit, and has a nature feel with trees around it.
