The Brennan family's Houston outpost — the New Orleans Brennan dynasty's most ambitious sibling restaurant, running Creole-Southern cooking in a polished room that's been a Midtown institution since 1967. Turtle soup, jambalaya, bananas Foster (the dessert originated at the original Brennan's), Sunday brunch with serious gravity. Less casual than the casual NOLA grande dames, more about Houston's appetite for refined Southern hospitality. For Creole dining with full Brennan-family pedigree in a city that takes the tradition seriously.
