    I came to New Orleans for a quick two-day trip to attend a wedding at The Omni, and I’m so glad I made time for brunch at Brennan’s! My best friend was with me, and we celebrated her birthday with a fabulous meal at this iconic spot. From start to finish, our experience was exceptional. The service was flawless—attentive, friendly, and professional. Our server made sure we were well taken care of, and the food? Absolutely delicious. Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. A special highlight was when Jason, the manager, took us on a short tour of the restaurant. The ambiance is nothing short of breathtaking. I can’t even begin to describe how stunning the space is, with its elegant décor and warm, welcoming atmosphere. It's truly a feast for the eyes as much as it is for the stomach. As a Las Vegas native, I’ve dined at some great places, but Brennan’s stands out. I can’t wait to come back to New Orleans and visit again. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a top-notch culinary experience. 10/10—absolutely loved it!

    We are locals and regulars and we had another great dining experience at Meril: Martini and Old Fashioned excellently-crafted cocktails, shared Tuna Wraps, Red Snapper and Ribeye entrees, with sides of Mexican Corn and Gen Tsos Broccoli, and complemented by glasses of Rioja. As always, the team service was attentive and efficient, and seating hostesses were friendly and professional. Meril has the whole package, a great Warehouse District bistro.
