- CCherie FSeattle / Eastern Washington •3 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe had 6p reservations for our 50th anniversary dinner and arrived early.. we decided to get a drink at the bar ( which was full and busy) took along time to be noticed by the busy bartenders and finally just before our dinner time got noticed and ordered our drinks. We were lead by our hostess June to a cosy booth and the table was decorated for our celebration dinner. We then were greeted by our server Sonya who was fun, efficient and attentive.. she and the “biscuit man”made our dinner even more enjoyable! Our first bite was the delicious tempura fins wing… this was followed by our entrees the Scalibut a GW Fins original .. this was superb!! And for my husband the American Red Fish, he wanted to lick his plate and my tasting bite made me envious even though my dish was so good! We finished our meal with the Salty Malty ice cream dessert.. we did lick the plate !! Best ever dessert!! And chef sent out two chocolate treats on a decorated plate!! All our choices were guided expertly by Sonja our knowledgeable and entertaining server! All in all it was a delightful celebration at an exceptional restaurant!!💕More infoGW FinsPrice: Very Expensive• Seafood• French Quarter•4.9
- TTerrySeattle / Eastern Washington •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoFood is incredible. We did the Reveilon meal and the chooses where great! Anything that was a “or” on the menu we each order the “or” so we could try everything on the menu. It was so Amazing! The service was “Impeccable”. Have never had such fantastic service. Each staff member “Loved” their job and it showed, wasn’t just a front like some places. They all truly believed that that all the staff was “Family” and they took care of each other. Zachery was our main wait person, he was so happy ti be there and assist with all of questions no matter what they were. Extremely knowledgeable of the menu and was just amazing. By the time we left we had come to know his life story. Such an Amazing person. Thank You Zachary for the lovely evening.More infoAntoine'sPrice: Expensive• Creole• French Quarter•4.6
- AAshleyNew York City •2 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoBrennan’s is always a good choice for brunch! The dining area started off quiet… but got a bit noisy towards the end. I wish there was better noise absorbing surfaces to help manage the noise levels… my 70+ Father who joined my husband and I for brunch really struggled to hear us and had to keep adjusting his hearing aides to be able to try and enjoy our conversations… The food and service did not disappoint! I had the Crab & Avocado toast with a poached egg on top, my husband had the Duck Confit Hash and my father had the Eggs St. Charles. All were very good! We ordered the Brabant Potatoes for the table…. And as always they were out of this world!!! The coffee was brewed to perfection and the service was impeccable… overall a great meal, just a little noisy.More infoBrennan'sPrice: Expensive• Creole• French Quarter•4.8
- CColleenVIPChicago / Illinois •34 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoHad a wonderful meal - took the fish recommendation from the server for the win - and the pork chop was great. Atmosphere was the most holiday cheer we have seen yet. Worth going to for dinner or even just a taste at the bar. Great stop!More infoMr. B's BistroPrice: Expensive• Creole• French Quarter•4.7
- KKellyHouston •16 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoDomenica was recommended by friends of ours and it did not disappoint! Food was outstanding - black truffle pecorino romano, spaghetti carbonara (CRAZY good), a rabbit/pasta dish (can’t remember the name), topped off by a banana dessert. Every table was taken the entire time we were there on 12.18. Highly recommend you book a reservation. LOVED our server, Heather. A fun evening.More infoDomenicaPrice: Moderate• Italian• Central Business District•4.5
