What can I say other than WOW! We are in from Indianapolis for the weekend and wanted some seafood. Open table recommended Brendon’s Catch 23 and we decided to give it a try. We were greeted immediately and seated at our table and our server Ross greeted us within 30 seconds. I of course liked him instantly because his name is from one of my shows, Friends. Ross is incredible! He knows everything about the entire menu as well as the cocktails. He guided us to the crab in warm butter with sourdough bread for the starter and it is divine! Definitely order that! I have an obsession with Cauliflower steak and it was really good. I loved how they seasoned it with steak seasoning. It had a small warm green salad and a corn and bean side to accompany. I really liked this dish. My husband had the shrimp and grits and it was delicious. Perfectly cooked and tender shrimp but it was a lot of food! Definitely a dish that could be shared. We were given 2 corn bread muffins with a honey cinnamon butter that was the perfect accompaniment to our dishes. I ordered the Beignets for dessert and if you get anything GET THOSE! They were perfectly cooked , crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They Came with two dipping sauces, and we’re so large we took two home! Ross even brewed a fresh pot of decaf for me as I love coffee with my dessert. Ross was very attentive to our dining needs and really made us feel welcome. He always had a smile on his face every time I saw him and he truly went above and beyond and made our dining experience even more enjoyable. Thank you Ross for the incredible time and for making us feel like Friends!!!! We Will definitely be back and asking for Ross!

It was our first time here but it will not be our last. From the moment we arrived and interacted with the host to the time we left, it was a fabulous experience. Ross was our server (ask for him) and he was attentive and knowledgeable on the menu, the bourbons, and and how to make you feel welcome. He recommended a wonderful bourbon and the smoked old fashion that is prepared tableside was out of this world, 10/10 starts on that drink, get one!! We shared the warm butter crab jar and will definitely have that again, it was more than enough to share. We also had the scallops, filet, and crab cake plus the green beans and there are a few other things that I now want to go back to try. Highly recommend this restaurant, they will space out our dinner to fit your timeline, we had a show to attend and never felt rushed or like we were waiting. Make a reservation, you'll thank me later!

We went there to celebrate my wife starting a new job and I posted that on the comments section of opentable. Well, what do we see when we're seated but personalized menus with my wife's name at the top with a congratulatory statement. Well done, Brendan's Catch, well done!

What a memorable night out! Fantastic service (thanks Ross), amazing entrees and just an all around great experience! Came for dinner to celebrate my wife’s birthday and it was a last min decision but they had plenty of open reservations somehow. Provided us with a menu with my wife’s name, very nice touch! Ross explained the menu very well and was extremely personalble and made our evening even better. The yellowfin tuna is some of the best I’ve had and my wife’s filet was on point. Very tender and flavorful. The mashed potatoes were lumpy but creamy and soooo good. Finished the night with a flourless chocolate cake which kept you coming back for more bites. Well def be back asap
