    Went here for an 8pm dinner for my girlfriends birthday. Food and drinks are very delicious. The potatoes au gratin, steaks, brussels sprouts and peppercorn sauce were fabulous food items. For drinks, the spicy mango mezcal Rita is tasty. Services is impressive, always replacing utensils/plates. Our server Anna was wonderful. Can’t wait to return!

    We had a wonderful experience at Brenner’s for our Christmas dinner. They sat us quickly and our server was a delight. He was very informed about everything on the menu. He spent some time chatting with us and made some excellent suggestions. The food was phenomenal, everything was delicious. The steak was cooked perfectly, the lobster Mac&Cheese was amazing and the Pontchartrain did not disappoint. Overall an excellent evening

    Ended up here for dinner on Christmas after missing our connection in Houston. It was among the few places open and among the only restaurants that hadn’t resorted to a buffet because of the holiday. The entire experience was excellent. Delicious food, charming setting and ambiance and great service. I’d highly recommend.

    Nice environment but pales in comparison to the old Rainbow Lodge. Very noisy restaurant. Service was excellent and food was good but I was expecting more for the price.

    Wonderful as always. Food was delicious and we had a great Christmas Eve meal. Service was a bit choppy at points (for example it took us almost 30 minutes to get salt and pepper, and a split salad only half came out) but we chalk that up to the Christmas crowd and tight staffing. Other than that, a wonderful experience. The second floor porch alcove is potentially the most pretty table in Houston and the noise level is far better than the ground floor

    We enjoy our semi-annual dinner at Brenner’s due to our busy lifestyle. The GM, Kent, made sure to great us and thank us for choosing Brenner’s’ which actually makes us feel exclusively welcome. Our server, Natalie, was so professional and descriptive with the menus updates and making sure we chose our meals. The champagne and dessert on the house for our anniversary was quite a surprise and much appreciated. We will be back soon!
