"Brennan’s Of Houston, a classic Creole restaurant, brings Big Easy glamor to Midtown with its Live Oak trees, chandeliers, and servers in vests lighting food on fire. Brennan’s is the only spot in town serving a bowl of snapping turtle soup with drizzles of sherry. The next time you're looking for a nostalgic night, get that, the gulf fish pontchartrain with crab and fried oysters (which is the best of the Gulf on one plate), and their iconic bananas foster flambéed tableside." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas, julie takahashi
