Editorial Review for Brenner's Steakhouse on the Bayou – by Andrea Loera

In Short
Occupying a picturesque location along Buffalo Bayou that housed the Rainbow Lodge for three decades, Tilman Fertitta's intimate and upscale steakhouse settles in to this rustic two story hideaway. A cozy cocktail lounge, dark wood accents, wine cellar, outdoor terrace and romantic ambiance add additional allure to a menu featuring steakhouse classics like beefsteak tomato salad with homemade Roquefort, French onion soup, expertly prepared filets and ribeyes, plus Brenner's favorites like crunchy German potatoes and apple strudel.

User Reviews for Brenner's Steakhouse on the Bayou

2 Star Rating: Below Average

Most beautiful atmosphere, food is delicious, but the service is sub par. Our server was simply an order taker, didn't welcome us to the retaurant, spoke maybe 10 words thorughtout the meal, he disappeared for long periods. Dining out is not just about the food quality, it's the whole experience and service plays a key role in this.

Pros: Beatiful Atmosphere

Cons: Service is terrible

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended
