Brennan's Restaurant Reviews

Reviewed On 3/12/2022 by Victoria C
This review is specifically regarding the Brennan’s sales team and large party reservations. There are better places in the French Quarter to hold large group events, but if you are planning an event here make sure to spend extra time hand hold...
ing the Sales team with consistent emails/follow ups in order to avoid last minute surprises and cancellations, and don’t expect to be compensated for any inconvenience, it won’t happen. I had a very poor experience with Ashley and Christian from the Sales team when I made a group reservation for a post-wedding brunch. I inquired about availability for a large group reservation and received confirmation from Ashley that there was availability, which I was so excited for since I’d heard great things about this restaurant. I even continued our conversation advising her of some of my guests’ dietary restrictions. The day before the event, I received a call from Ashley saying that my reservation could no longer be accommodated, blaming me for never having signed a contract to confirm the reservation, which was a surprise to me since I was never sent a contract to begin with. I was later contacted by her boss Christian who did not do anything to help accommodate the inconvenience and lack of professionalism from his team, but instead wasted my time on my wedding day trying to convince me it wasn’t their fault. A very disappointing experience overall.

Nicole set us up with Mia, who played all our songs perfectly through the ceremony, and we planned everything out meticulously with the food, drinks, and literally evertything. Our families had SUCH A GOOD TIME, and we did too! We wouldn't have changed anything, and that is what's important. I would 100% recommend Brennan's, because the food, drinks, and service were outstanding. It was a perfect day. Thank you, Nicole and Mia!

than special. The space itself was perfect. We had an entire wing which included not only the dining room, but a lovely sitting room, a bar area and an outdoor enclosed balcony that overlooked the courtyard outside. The bartender and servers made our every wish come true with tirelessness and warmth. The food was delicious (we had several options to choose from) everyone we talked to was pleased. We asked for red and white wines and champagne and got everything we wanted. In short, the dinner at Brennan’s set the tone for the entire wedding weekend. It was heavenly.

We therefore immediately decided we wanted to celebrate our beautiful wedding reception at the most beautiful and historic Brennan's Restaurant on Royal Street. We feel so fortunate that we have been blessed with the gift of amazing love, for the many people who support us so enthusiastically, and that we were all able to enjoy our special day celebrating together at Brennan's Restaurant! Our beautiful 11:00am wedding ceremony at St. Louis Cathedral was followed by a momentously fun Second Line parade (thanks Bucktown Allstars!) from the Cathedral straight to Brennan's for the most incredibly BEAUTIFUL and FABULOUSLY FUN party any of us could have ever imagined. We got married exactly 3 months ago today and our friends/family are still raving about the entire day, and especially about our incredible reception at Brennan's. That is no exaggeration! No detail was left unattended to, the amazing Brennan’s cuisine was absolutely delicious, the ambiance was authentically New Orleans, second to none, and we all had an absolute BLAST dining and dancing in the beautiful courtyard. Ashley Brodie was a true pleasure to work with and we couldn't have asked for a more responsive, professional, helpful and genuinely lovely Wedding Sales Manager in her. Such a joy! She and Christian Pendleton (GM at Brennan's), along with their incredible staff, were nothing less than fabulous to work with. Their attention to detail and spectacular service is unsurpassed and we so enjoyed getting to know them and spend our happy day with them! We feel like we have become part of the Brennan's family, and all of our wedding guests feel the same way. We will all forever hold Brennan's close in our hearts and memories and we will of course continue to dine and celebrate with Brennan's for many years to come. Thank you Ashley, Christian, Ralph and your entire team for a truly unforgettable and extraordinary celebration on the happiest day of our lives!

Werecently had our wedding reception at Brennan's. As a New Orleans native, I really wanted a traditional New Orleans wedding with great food, drinks, and environment. Taking these three things into account, Brennan's was the best choice. We re...
nted out the entire second floor for about 120 guests. Our guests are still raving about the food, drinks, and ambiance. The service was top notch during the event;they even walked my things to Canal Street since Royal street was closed to vehicular traffic and packed my car there. We had a few obstacles that came into play the week of the wedding because the sales staff booked something prior to us, but our contact at Brennan's (Ashley Brodie) took care of everything seamlessly and I couldn't have been happier.

Ashley Brodie and the staff at Brennan's were great to work with. We had an amazing "Welcome to New Orleans Cocktail Party" to welcome our guests to the wedding weekend. The rooms upstairs overlooking the courtyard are gorgeous and they worked ...
perfectly for 100 people. Ashley worked with us very closely to ensure we had the right food and drink choices for the night. It was a very memorable evening!

We recently hosted a wedding rehearsal dinner at Brennan's in the Kings Room for approximately 36 people. All 36 people were extremely impressed with the food and service. The staff were extremely professional and patient with all our request...
s and they seemed happy to be there, which to me, means a lot to know that the people that are there to help you, actually want to be there. The head waiter even volunteered to take a few pictures of the group on the balcony. As for the food, everyone, and I mean everyone, enjoyed every part of the dinner. And there were some very picky eaters in our group. So that is saying something. And of course the desserts were fantastic.

Brennan's was the perfect space for our wedding! The courtyard was absolutely stunning and having several beautiful different spaces for our guests to enjoy was so unique. The food was over the top delicious and since we bought out the whole re...
staurant they created a menu just for us! The sales staff was amazing and answered every question with ease and they did a great job working with my wedding planner. I can't say enough about how accommodating the staff was on our wedding night! They made sure my husband and I had everything we needed. My best friend is having her bridal luncheon there and I just can't wait to go back!

I would have loved to get married at Brennan's. They have recently undergone a $20 million renovation, and the building is just gorgeous. Each room is tastefully and eclectically designed. There is a courtyard with a turtle-filled fountain and ...
orange trees that would be perfect for a ceremony. Their food is delicious, and they are right in the French Quarter. The catch?? Their pricing is extremely unrealistic, and their sales staff seems (perhaps intentionally) confused. I don't mean that it is out of my price range. I mean that it would be impossible to meet their f/b minimum given the space allotted. The room adjacent to the courtyard seats a maximum of 110 guests. First, the sales manager told me the minimum for a Friday night rental was $25,000. That is $227/head. The highest price 3-course dinner on the menus she provided was $65. That includes dessert. Using the highest priced options, each guest would then need to consume 18 drinks and/or hors d'oeuvres in order to reach the minimum. After expressing my confusion, she told me that she could actually rent me the space for $15,000 f/b minimum. She said she would need authorization from her GM, but she was confident it wouldn't be an issue for a Friday - she had done it before. She called that evening and told us that the f/b minimum would actually be $19,000. So within 10 minutes, the price decreased $10k. Then within 5 hours, it increased $4k. I felt like I was buying a used car. Simple questions like, "How long would we have the space for?" or "What is a detailed price per drink? Your menu says $9/drink for soda, liquor, wine, and beer." were vaguely answered. I have no doubt that Brennan's would be a beautiful wedding venue, but don't expect straight answers or a realistic price per person. Right next door, you will find Latrobe's and Hotel Monteleone. They are similarly priced with a f/b minimum around $20,000, but both can accommodate 200+ guests.
