    As always, Atchafalaya was fantastic. We have been to the restaurant many times in the past, and I’ve almost all restaurants in this evening ones, they exemplify Southern hospitality. Josh, who welcomes people at the door and coordinate your experience, is always warm and inviting, as are all the wait staff.  my wife and I each had the swordfish special for the evening, and our friend had the Wagyu steak. Everything was complex, flavorful, and delicious. The 3 drinks we had were also complex and tasty. Will be back as always!

    Incredible food! Ordered the yellowtail cold dish, Toridito, tuna and salmon tacos (would pass on next time due to size), black miso cod (one of the best meals we’ve ever had), rock shrimp tempura, and tuna and salmon hand rolls. One of the best meals we’ve ever had.

    Food is incredible. We did the Reveilon meal and the chooses where great! Anything that was a “or” on the menu we each order the “or” so we could try everything on the menu. It was so Amazing! The service was “Impeccable”. Have never had such fantastic service. Each staff member “Loved” their job and it showed, wasn’t just a front like some places. They all truly believed that that all the staff was “Family” and they took care of each other. Zachery was our main wait person, he was so happy ti be there and assist with all of questions no matter what they were. Extremely knowledgeable of the menu and was just amazing. By the time we left we had come to know his life story. Such an Amazing person. Thank You Zachary for the lovely evening.

    Brennan’s is always a good choice for brunch! The dining area started off quiet… but got a bit noisy towards the end. I wish there was better noise absorbing surfaces to help manage the noise levels… my 70+ Father who joined my husband and I for brunch really struggled to hear us and had to keep adjusting his hearing aides to be able to try and enjoy our conversations… The food and service did not disappoint! I had the Crab & Avocado toast with a poached egg on top, my husband had the Duck Confit Hash and my father had the Eggs St. Charles. All were very good! We ordered the Brabant Potatoes for the table…. And as always they were out of this world!!! The coffee was brewed to perfection and the service was impeccable… overall a great meal, just a little noisy.
