This review is a little late... we visited in March 2003 while shopping for real estate in the area. We ate here on the advice of our realtor (who was very good at her business). I just found tripadvisor last year and just now found the site for Brett's. We encoutnered a snooty attitude and very poor food like a lot of the other posters. I ordered scallops. It took forever to get our food and when we did the scallops were cold in the middle. My husband flagged down our waitiress who took the plate away. I asked to speak to the manager who very begrudgingly came to our table. I told him about the scallops and he very sarcastically snapped "they have already been removed from your bill".

Well, we bought a home on the island and have never been back to Bretts. We tell our guests to stay away as well. I won't even go in for a drink and the view.

We have found a number of fantastic restaurants with great food and great service that we happily frequent over and over. Most restaurants have friendly and helpful staff and very good food.

Frankly, we are at a loss about the attitude displayed to us and from the other posts it seems it has not improved, and, it wasn't just an "off night".

The location is great, the service good, the drinks okay and the food not good and boring. I ordered a poor boy sandwich and all it was was some not very fresh fried oysters in a hoagie roll. Apparently the chef has not been to New Orleans. The salad was plain and boring, since when is some iceberg lettuce and a tomato slice a salad? Go after you have had a good meal elsewhere and stop by here for a beer at the bar to enjoy the view.

We had lunch there and the view alone would have made it worthwhile.. However, the staff were courteous and friendly, and the shrimp salad sandwich was to die for. It was so large we wished we had just split one!

Wow, what a view....I loved this place.....try the shrimp bisque and
and the specials...delicious! The ambiance is terrific and the views are spectacular! We had a delicious wine that was very reasonable and the service was wonderful! Loved this place! I don't know who Brett is, but he deserves an Academy Award! I loved the mirrored wall and the decor......scrumptious! You could spend more at the Ritz, but would be pleasantly surprised that Brett's Waterway Cafe is "Four Seasons"! , at half the price!
Dig in!
