- MMikeIndiana •10 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoJust a divine experience! The turtle soup was rich, savory, and complex. The eggs hussard were the best I have had in my entire life! The coffee cured bacon ads a layer of taste. I did not know I could enjoy. And I enjoyed it with a pomegranate, bubbly drink that paired perfectly great service, elegant style, and worth the price you pay.More infoBrennan'sPrice: Expensive• Creole• French Quarter•4.7
