I like the ambiance at the restaurant and food was great. However, our service was absolutely horrible. Alex was our server and at first I just thought he had a dry sense of humor but as the night went on myself and the other 7 girls I was with came to realize he was just rather rude, slow, and didn't seem any bit worried about providing us with good customer service. We sat down at 8 and did not get our salads until 9:15. I understand this is a nice restaurant and you take your time, order drinks, ect but the time spent wai... read more

Watch out for the restaurant police!!! I went there last night to celebrate my girlfriends getting her real estate license... just champagne and appetizers. We sat down and I put my unbranded carbonated water on the table that I carry to avoid dehydration... Soda Stream... the bottles cost about $7 and I carbonate filtered water at home. When the waiter came to take our order he picked up my 1/4 full bottle and said you are not allowed to have that in here shall I throw it away?... I said it's only water for God's sake, With... read more

Nice View! – I ate here for my 22nd birthday. We had a reservation dinner, but we were not seated immediately. We had to wait for about 30-40 minutes to be seated. Our table was in a nice spot, and I thought the view would be wonderful especially in the morning or if you are having lunch. The food was alright, and it wasn't all that great nor will i put it in my top 10 list. Service was decent, staff were nice but the food took so long before it was served. I would go back and give it another chance, Only if a friend recomme... read more

Awesome Steak – I went with a large group from work. For appetizers, we shared the blackened scallops, crab cake and Texas quails, they were all tasty and well prepared. The highlight was the steak. I had a medium rare 6 oz. fillet. It was perfectly cooked and truly was one of the most tender steaks that I've ever eaten. Every steak ordered at our table came out perfect. However, the weakling was the dessert. I had the fruit cobbler and it was disappointing. Other people had the mousse cake and that tasted ok.

Terrible Experience – I ordered a market price bone in ribeye medium rare. I recieved a well done steak. Without taking a bite, I showed the server. He agreed it was well done and said he would take it back. Instead of the $48 market ribeye, for the re-do I requested the $35 non-bone in ribeye. The waiter said that he would talk to the manager and work something out. After my my wife was complete with her meal, my steak came out. The bone in ribeye (which I did not ask for) it was cooked medium, which was okay. After the din... read more

Room for improvement – My boyfriend and I dined at Brenners this past Saturday. I have to say this is the worst restaurant I have been to in a long time. The setting is fantastic. I should not be able to purchase and cook a better steak myself than a high end steak house. Both of our steaks were over cooked. I guess the chef does not know what medium rare is. The steaks came out in the consistency of shoe leather. No moisture, grey in color. The service was mediocre at best. It is such a shame, the setting is so nice. None t... read more

Will not return – Last night, we visited Brenner's on the Bayou to celebrate my mom's birthday. Sadly, it was a very disappointing experience. The hostess, waitstaff AND management were very rude and even condescending at times. We did not get the table location we requested and were confirmed for over the phone with a manager. They ran out of two things on the menu after we already ordered and couldn't even suggest a substitute. And among other things, when making our reservation, we made sure to ask if they can put a candl... read more

Memorable Evening – We tried Brenner's On The Bayou this past stormy, rainy Saturday night, after reading many reviews here on CitySearch about it. We arrived on time and had to wait a few minutes at the bar for our table. But Brenner's sat us at a wonderful corner table overlooking the back garden and bayou; a perfect perspective of their expansive property. Three out of four of us, chose their Lobster Bisque as a starting appetizer, which was simply delicious. My daughter opted for the wedge salad with Italian dressing, wh... read more

Breath taking view – I went here for dinner one evening and had a cool table upstairs. We felt like we were sitting in a tree. The outside views are beyond words, you don't feel like you are on a bayou. It is majestic. The food was good, not great, but good. The 3 course meal deal they are offering is of fair price, and they did make a salad substitution for my boyfriend. some of table were put in wierd locations, and I am glad we didn't have any of those!! We also went for a wine tasting event on a Saturday afternoon. What ... read more
