    Our food was excellent, however, would have liked to have been given a choice on what temperature I would like my duck cooked. I found it a little rare and hard to cut with the knife provided. Overall, excellent service and nice experience. I do miss the Brennans of old. 25 years ago I had to wear a blazer furnished by Brennan’s to eat in the dining room. I do find the experience a little less special when diners can walk in with just athletic wear. Shorts and t shirt. Sommelier was excellent and chose a great bottle of wine for us so overall an excellent experience.

    There were four of us for brunch. WE arrived about 40 minutes early for our reservation and they were very accommodating, seating us in about 10 minutes. The turtle soup was delicious as usual and everyone enjoyed the eggs Benedict in different varieties. We, of course, had banana s Foster and were delighted with the steward preparing it, as he regaled us with the history of the dish there at Brennan’s! Our servers were solicitous without hovering. Birthday celebration was way more than expected with an apron for a present and cotton Candy with a surprise in the center for a final treat. I never miss going to Brennan’s when I visit New Orleans. You shouldn’t either!

    The new recipes/ dishes are not good. We loved the food before this chef came. The shrimp remoulade , which is not shrimp remoulade, was bad: sent it back.

    We were very excited to come. Unfortunately, we were sitting in an area where there was a large party and our waitress spent a lot of time with the other party and not with us. The bread they gave you was like a hotdog bun. The waitress seemed annoyed  that we asked for the banana fosters dessert which they are famous for. She told us there was one table ahead of us before she could get to us… Well, 35 minutes later, she came to us and seemed to rush through the presentation.  Also what she told us  a lot, was written on the back of the menu. The restaurant is very pretty. The duck confit was a small portion. Not worth the price. The gulf fish was good. They  also ran out a lot of their specialties so we did not get a chance to order those.
