The decor was a fabulous backdrop for a lovely meal. The hot brown and filet were excellent. We enjoyed the pianist and the convenient parking. There was a spot to charge the hybrid vehicle which was a bonus. Exceptional service!

The service and atmosphere is incredible. But the food. Even off the special valentines menu was so lacking. The crab dip was like Cambell’s cream of chicken with. Crab meat. So disappointed with the food on every level. The French onion soup had no crust. The scallops looked like they were garnished from a buffet bar. It was very lack luster. The music from the piano bar was worthy. The cocktails where decent to above average

Great food. Very well prepared. Tasted great. Very good desert. Service was very poor. We had a reservation but still waited. Table was ready but no one told us. Very slow. Drinks took forever. Entrees took over an hour. No place to hang up coats. People don't dress up much there. Customers were pretty slovenly. Guess it was a Friday night and Valentines Day. Give them another chance.

Brown hotel is a beautiful setting for a date night. Valentine’s Day was very special and memorable to spend with the restaurant staff. Grace who we were lucky enough to have for the second time took such wonderful care of us. Food and specialty cocktails were excellent.

The atmosphere was great! My steak was not cooked medium rare but was more a medium. Rob E. Was an excellent server. He answered all our questions, made a few suggestions and was very easy to converse with.
