Editorial Review for Brennan's of Houston **CLOSED** – by Citysearch Editors
In a classic New Orleans-style abode, this local landmark serves upper-crust Cajun-Creole cuisine.
The Scene
You can't top the oak-shaded patio for jazz brunch or a romantic occasion. If reserved way ahead, dinner can be served at the chef's table, a snug, glass-enclosed dining room in the middle of the kitchen.
The Food
Talented Executive Chef Randy Evans has created a lighter Creole menu infused with Texas taste, along with traditional, ultrarich Creole cuisine. Start with the generous crab cake and shrimp remoulade drizzled with hot sauce and rich beurre blanc. Main course choices include Louisiana farm-raised rabbit and redfish court bouillon along with complex rarities like Grimud guinea fowl. Desserts are comfort creations: classic Creole bread pudding with rye-whiskey sauce and chocolate chip-bourbon-pecan pie. Don't dare depart without a complimentary homemade praline--now that's Southern hospitality.

I have taken dozens of employees to eat at Brennan's for their 5 year anniversary with our business. Many look forward to going to Brennan's for lunch. I was to take another employee next month and now very sad that we will have to choose another place. I hope they plan on rebuilding as I will miss greatly those special occasions for lunch. Alex, our prayers are with your family during this time. Chris Smith, Grace Community Church.

Our love for Brennan's began in New Orleans, where we lived until Katrina blew us away. When we settled in Houston, discovering a Brennan's here was truly something that allowed us to keep going, to keep hope alive. Knowing that the family supported their workers displaced after Katrina made us feel proud to call this one of our favorite restaurants, and our family, both local and those who have visited Houston, had many memorable dining experiences here. The food is sublime; a treat for palate and senses combined. Never did we have an experience that was not memorable; never did we have a meal that was not exquisite. Thank you for the memories.
