    We arrived a few minutes early and was seated at our reservation time. Waiter came right over to introduce himself and discuss drinks. We ordered a sidecar and a glass of rosè. For food we ordered the mardi gras shrimp (8/10), caesar salad (9/10), gumbo (10/10), broiled red snapper (9/10), lamb chops (10/10), seafood mac and cheese (7/10), & baked potato (6/10). Food came out pretty quick and was hot. Overall, food was good especially the gumbo and lamb chops. The food is a bit pricey but for a special occasion its worth it.

    We had a great experience! Walking in the main dining room was an experience in itself!! The service was impeccable. My kids even felt special with extra cherries in their Shirley temples. I couldn’t recommend this restaurant more. The food was unbelievable. Probably some of the best food I’ve ever had. I would definitely recommend experiencing one of the oldest restaurants in New Orleans!

    Food and service were impecable. Enjoyed an early lunch with my family and everyone was blown away by everything. Roasted brie, filet, ribeye and asparagus were all incredible. Cheesecake and bread pudding were spectacular. Nice view over the river.

    August never disappoints and this visit was no different. My fellow diner has a shellfish allergy and the staff went above and beyond to keep her safe. It was also my birthday so the staff went out of their way to make me feel special throughout the evening. There is no better place in the world for outstanding food and service than August!!!

    Ms. Chalaine was friendly, helpful, and attentive. The food was delicious. We recommend the Eggs Benedict, Eggs Sardou, and, of course, the Bananas Foster. The Brennan's Bloody Mary is one of the best, if not the best. Dining at Brennan's is an enjoyable and relaxing experience.
