    Amelia was an outstanding waitperson. Both our entrees were beautiful to look at and just as delicious. Wedge salad with butter lettuce is a terrific twist on a classic. Oysters tasted so fresh and briny. We think Abel Brown is at least a top 5 restaurant in the CSRA.

    My family and I are AB fans; we eat there a couple of times a month. Tonight’s meal was WOW, seriously…outstanding. Philip is fantastic, always - thank you. We tried a new cocktail, Frida, outstanding. Very different with mild heat and spice (mezcal liquer) balanced with hibiscus and bitters - highly recommend. We also tried the new summer lettuce salad and it was a flavor bomb! I am not a beet fan but the beets in that salad! I officially now like beets. The pork chop and halibut entrees are pretty and tasty. Just a wonderful meal. Thank you AB.😊

    I had a wonderful experience. From the host stand till the end, Abel Brown had excellent service, and everyone showed genuine commitment to a quality dining experience. My food was excellent. I had the beef carpaccio and harissa lime butter broiled oysters with a side of brussel sprouts. Would recommend to anyone celebrating something or traveling to Augusta.

    Superb. Food was delicious. Crab soup and trout were outstanding. John was our server and was very knowledgeable about menu and wine. He answered all of our questions and his service was great. Totally enjoyed our evening. Well go back! 😁
