    Food was great! Steak was cooked perfect! Trout was wonderful! Noise level was a bit much for a romantic evening out, music was way too loud. Did not expect that for the food listed on the menu, which usually dictates what the restaurant will be like. Thought it would be more elegant ambiance setting.

    Food was good. We expect the salad we ordered before our dinner. The food seemed to take a lot longer than you would think for the items we ordered. Oysters came fast and were super fresh. Stuffed trout was delicious and filling.

    Mikey was a great server and made our time at Abel Brown memorable. The snacks were the perfect start to the meal and his recommendation of adding honey to the Johnny cakes was perfect. We truly enjoyed our experience and will be back again.

    Several new menu items this week. We had the tuna crudo small plate and it is fresh and tasty. Really want to try the tuna Niçoise salad but went with the OG wedge that is back, so good! Tim took care of the table and he is so nice and well informed about food and wine - thanks, Tim! The pork chop is a soul satisfying dish; as pretty a plate as it is tasty! Highly recommend. AB is a family favorite - can’t wait to go back!
