Owen Brennan's

Brunch Review: This restaurant has a decades long reputation for its Sunday Brunch. This is well deserved and continues to stand out based on my last visit. Service here is always impeccable, even for a brunch where the servers are there for drinks. The brunch itself is expansive in its variety, but not giant and cumbersome. I personally dive right in to the items like smoked salmon and fresh boiled shrimp as well as the salads and fruits. The salmon was perfection and warranted a few return trips. I did not visit any of the traditional breakfast items although many in our party did, and raved about the amazing cooked to order omelets and the quality and variety of sweet carbos like waffles and pancakes and such. I instead focus on the Cajun offerings like the red beans and rice, etouffee and jambalaya. All were perfect. Several soups, several meat dishes, extensive salad, extensive pastries all fill all needs. For drinks at our table the mimosas were very popular, along with the bloody marys. Is the adult brunch expensive for a brunch? YES very much so, about as expensive as a brunch can be. But, sometimes in life you just have to invest in something wonderful for yourself, and this is a good choice for that.

Great ambiance and food, but when went for a business dinner with 15 guests, their tea machine was down and they were out of Basil Hayden whiskey, so could be an issue with ordering. Food was spectacular and the service is amazing. The bar is a great place to wait and take in the atmosphere while you wait too. My favorite is the stuffed shrimp. It's broiled shrimp with a crab filling that like eating a crab cake served with the best grilled vegetables and hollandaise. The bananas foster is a must.

Haven't been here in years. Service was okay. It wasn't crowded when I went but it was kinda slow. The food was okay. not be busy enough for my calamari to come out luke warm. Wasn't a fan. The steak was good I order medium well but it came out well. I already waited a minute for the food to come out so I didn't say anything but the food was still good. I want to give their brunch a try. I might come back I might not.

Clean, great ambiance, music, servers and service that makes you feel welcoming! Everything was great and tasty. You would think this place is VERY upscale being that its located inside Oak Hall, but come nicely dressed and you'll fit right in. The building is aged, but clean. Restrooms could use an upgrade but clean. Well know for brunch, lunch, or dinner. You choose!

I assume this restaurant is related to the Brennan's restaurants in New Orleans. The atmosphere reminded me of those restaurants with the decor and friendly staff. Our server was INCREDIBLE. The food was excellent!We started with an Angel's Envy Old Fashioned and a Watermelon Blueberry lemonade with Tito's Vodka. Then we ordered the fried green tomatoes, which came dressed with arugula, candied bacon, and blistered cherry tomatoes. Then we ordered the Redfish (of course if you know any Brennan's restaurant) and the Pasta Jambalaya. We were so full we took our Key Lime Pie to go! Thanks to our server Jason for being so friendly and helpful. Even the French bread and butter were wonderful!

3 stars, because of service carrying the subpar food. Kind of a shame, but chicken pasta was tasty, but the quality of the chicken was completely subpar. My customer had catfish, and kept spotting various pieces into a napkin.Reasonable prices, and reasonable service. Could be so much better, with quality ingredients.

I will say food wise the chefs who cook the food. They did a great job making the food. The bartender made nice drinks and didn't have much issue. However, the supervisor/ manager he had racial bias towards me. He had asked the customers from both my left and right, if they enjoying themselves, is the food good. He even got the customers from my left another drink. The minute he seen me, he looked at me with disgust and ignored me. That made me didn't want to stay and took my dinner to go. I wouldn't recommend if you are an African-American to eat inside.

My experience at Owen Brennan's was decent. I did love the atmosphere but the food was lack luster. I would visit again just to see if I can give them 4-5 stars.

Sunday Brunch is not to be missed. The selection is immense and the quality is unmatched my 50yrs. The specialty stations, Shorty's omelets, and the pasta are the very best, and the prime rib is solid. Other offerings are many and varied, and kept hot and fresh, or cold and fresh for the salads. The live jazz is just the icing on the cake, and is excellent. Service has always been good at worst, and impeccable at best. 10 out of 10 recommend, meaning I've enjoyed the brunch at least 10 times over the past 2yrs, and have loved it EVERY TIME.

I love the wedge salad with shrimp but they changed the portions. The amount of shrimp that I received was lacking. Three shrimp hardly is enough and the cost was high for what was received. This used to be my go to but after the change to their portions I'll have to rethink my order.
