Brenner's on the Bayou

Brenner’s on the Bayou is hands-down one of the most beautiful spots in Houston for an intimate outdoor ceremony. I've the pleasure of photographing a few micro weddings here. They have several spaces available for celebrations. The ceremony space feels private and lush, especially with the sound of a harpist echoing through the trees. Also, the garden area is breathtaking. Following the vows, couples and their guests usually enjoy a cocktail hour followed by dinner that is absolutely delicious. It’s the perfect venue for couples who want a seamless transition from a romantic garden ceremony to a high-end dining experience. Highly recommend for any 'micro' or intimate celebration!

We had a wonderful date night here! From the wine to the last bite of food, everything was delicious. I had the filet mignon and julienne potatoes, I'm not sure if that was the name, but they're cheesy and dreamy. The service and atmosphere were also spectacular. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant for a romantic evening or family dinner.

We went for Christmas Eve dinner. I downrated dinner as I was told that it would decorated up for Christmas. Yes, there was a tree but not much beyond that. The wait staff didn’t do much either like wearing festive aprons, etc. And no special food or drink menu. How much effort does it take to make slight modifications to merry up the evening? Hubby had lobster bisque which he rated a 4/5 as it was served cool. I had Roquefort salad which I rated 5/5–great tomatoes on side! My main was the Ponchatrain seafood which was very good 4/5 and hubby had pork ribeye 3/5–it was overcooked & small portion of edible meat. Asparagus 4/5. Bread pudding was 3/5–far too firm. Plus Two cocktails, 2 glasses of wine. $239 out the door We agreed we have checked the box on Brenners. Good to try but won’t return.

I celebrated my birthday here today and If I could give this place one million stars I would. The roasted farm chicken… so tender and juicy it was practically melting in my mouth. I wish I could personally thank the chicken for his time. The Mac and cheese was probably the best Mac and cheese I’ve had in my life, it actually had no business being that good. The mashed potatoes? Spectacular, give me 14 of them. Everything was beyond perfect, from the food to the atmosphere, the decor, the candle lit vibes, the live music outside yet quiet and elegant surroundings, even the valet men were the kindest people! Don’t even get me started on the actual service! My glass of water was never less than half empty and it tasted like it was poured straight from the heavens. Our waiter was literally too good at his job, he gave me a delicious birthday desert on top of the best possible experience and The general manager took the time to come to our table and personally wish me a happy birthday. I will definitely be dining here again and again and again! So happy we found this hidden gem!!

Our overall experience was absolutely amazing..First time at this restaurant & chose to celebrate our 2yr wedding anniversary for dinner on Saturday & again on Sunday for brunch... Very imitate setting, beautiful scenery, amazing food & exceptional service from staff. Alex & Brian took great care of us on Saturday night & Morgan followed up with exceptional service on Sunday! The food was just everything & we were so full & satisfied with everything that was brought out.. Receptionist wasn't very accommodating with our seating initially and had to go back & few times to get corrected but overall our experience was outstanding... As a LSR we'll definitely be back..
