"Many special occasions have been celebrated on the picturesque grounds of Brenner’s on the Bayou. This magical setting, lush with Houston’s natural landscape, spills out onto Buffalo Bayou, allowing diners sweeping views at every turn. Take in cocktails on the Blue Bar, a covered, outdoor deck, or settle in for a long, steakhouse dinner in the multi-level dining room. The immaculate space offers equally impressive views and rich dishes like lobster bisque, the wild boar rack served with marbled potatoes and raclette, and the miso-glazed sea bass." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Brenner’s On The Bayou is part of the Great Landry’s Empire (‘sup Tilman) and also happens to be an exceptional steakhouse. Built into a bayou slope, the multi-level terraced dining room has so much hand-carved wood you might think you’re dining in the roots of a giant tree. The menu has all the steakhouse classics: shrimp cocktail, buttery crab cakes, a roquefort wedge salad, and multiple thick cuts of well-seared steaks, including filets, ribeyes, and special selections from local ranches. On a cool night, grab a reservation on one of the large decks to look out over the bayou." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas, julie takahashi
"Brenner’s has served the city’s finest beef to generations of Houstonians. USDA Prime rib-eye, filet, and NY strip are all compelling options, especially when topped with smoked garlic butter or a rich and velvety cognac-peppercorn sauce. Celebrating something? With unparalleled views of Buffalo Bayou, Brenner’s serves as the quintessential destination steakhouse for special occasions." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Brunch at Brenner’s got a recent upgrade. From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., the restaurant will host its “Sundays on the Bayou” experience, which features live music and a menu filled with brunch favorites like crab cake benedicts, corn flake-crusted brioche French toast, and Belgian waffles. Venture from the traditional with the pan-seared foie gras served with caramelized apples, and make it a party with its brunch cocktails, including sangria, Bloody Marys, espresso martinis, and mimosas available by the glass or carafe." - Brittany Britto Garley, Marcy de Luna
"Situated in a wooded retreat, the rustic yet elegant Brenner’s offers a view of Buffalo Bayou from every table of its two-story dining room in addition to its a cozy cocktail lounge and wine cellar. The restaurant offers an upscale menu of proteins and prime cuts, including American wagyu rib-eyes and crispy leg duck fit, and wild game specials, that pair well with dishes like its beefsteak tomato salad with homemade Roquefort and French onion soup." - Marcy de Luna
