Brennan's of Houston wraps Creole cooking in gracious service and a pink stucco dining room that feels made for celebrations. Turtle soup, Gulf seafood, tableside flambé, rich sauces, and brunch traditions connect the restaurant to its New Orleans family tree. Come for a leisurely meal, dress with a little intention, and leave room for bananas Foster performed with appropriate fire. The result makes Brennan's of Houston feel lively, useful, and worth repeating.
