    This was my first time at your and everything was terrific. I just wish we could have ordered from the menu rather than just having the buffet or Hot Browns offered on weekends. Otherwise, it was perfect. Our waitress was extremely nice and efficient. Thanks, Kaye

    The staff delivered an excellent Sunday brunch! The hot brown or the buffet are your only options, but you can’t go wrong.

    Kate was our server and Courtney was the manager. Both provided impeccable service and professionalism. I would recommend that everyone dine at this historic and iconic restaurant in the Brown Hotel. Order the Hot Brown!

    We were thrilled to try a Hot Brown at its original restaurant. It was delicious! We also shared a lovely bourbon bread pudding for dessert. Sharon, the restaurant manager, and Pam, our server were both great. Sharon shared many great anecdotes about the iconic Brown Hotel.

    We didn’t realize until after arrival where our restaurant was located. What a gem The Brown Hotel truly is! The brunch was absolutely amazing! Although we were only offered coffee, the brunch provided an extreme variety of cuisines. Delectable!
