For a dose of old-school charm complete with white tablecloths, locals know to head straight to Brennan’s of Houston. The sister to New Orleans’ legendary Commander’s Palace, this Midtown staple has been serving up refined Creole flavors since 1967. Come for the snapping turtle soup and Shrimp Chippewa and stay for the Sunday jazz brunch and chef’s table experience. There’s even a post-dinner theatre shuttle — that’s true Southern hospitality.
