   Had a wonderful time and had some of the best service I’ve ever received at a restaurant. Food was delicious and very filling. Drinks tend to be a bit expensive but that’s to be expected.

   We dined here at sunset on Father’s Day. From start to finish, everything was perfect. There was no rush to get us out of our seats after dinner either. Location, service and food is absolutely top notch and worth every penny!

   We ordered pork belly, lobster bisque, and prawns to start overall very good the prawns were nothing impressive. For mains we ordered filet mignon, ribeye, and a fish dish. Honestly for the price the ribeye left us with more expectations.

    Exceptional service and food quality! I took my mom for a special birthday dinner for her while we stayed at the Fairmont. We ordered the clams, mushrooms and duck. All the food came out timely and wonderfully. Plus, their purple sweet potato rolls are amazing. In an unusual turn of the weather, it rained that evening and the restaurant staff had to move all the dining tables under cover. They had to do a lot of work to accommodate their dinner guests with the rain but they were all very pleasant. I give them kudos for providing excellent service despite the weather challenges. I'll definitely be back to Brown's for other special dining occassions.

    The best setting ever. Even rain didn’t dampen our evening, although Felicia moved us as soon as she could to a table underneath roof cover. Food outstanding and unique. Really honored our anniversary with personalized dessert

    Incredible experience for our honeymoon! We loved Erik and the rest of the staff were all so friendly. Food was fantastic - the lobster bisque was insane. Especially loved hearing the awful family next to us get bossed around by the mom all night. Felt like we were in an episode of White Lotus!

    We celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary at Brown’s. I could only get an 8pm reservation, but they called earlier on the day and offered earlier times so we were able to get a table at sunset. The ambience is sublime and the sunset was spectacular. Our server, Janice, was very attentive and answered all our questions about the menu and other aspects of the Big Island. The food was outstanding. The pr icing is what you’d expect from a top tier Hawaiian resort restaurant. That makes it special occasion for us and the whole experience was special. The live music was delightful and the whole evening was a tropical dream. I highly recommend this if it’s in your budget.

    We got married (eloped) and came to Brown’s to celebrate. The most memorable and romantic experience we have ever had. We were seated in time to watch the glorious sunset! Everything was perfect… from the champagne to desert and everything in between. We could not recommend any more highly.

    My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful anniversary meal at Browns Beach House. Right from the start we were pleased that the table was private and afforded us a a ‘front row’ view of the stunning sunset. Thank you for such a lovely table! We started with two cocktails. The bar service is excellent. Knowing we were going to order a lot of food (everything on the menu sounded so good!) we split the Caesar salad. It was amply sized, fresh and the dressing was creamy and perfectly balanced. For appetizers we ordered the poke, the steamed clams and the pork belly. The clams were perfectly cooked. There was a generous amount of smoked pork belly, mushrooms and bok choy in the dish. I found them overwhelmingly smoky but my husband enjoyed them. My husband also enjoyed the pork belly (he said it was tender, a bit sweet but very flavorful). My husband also ordered the poke which had avocado in it. Because of an avocado allergy I planned not to eat it. To my surprise the thoughtful chef strategically placed the avocado purée on the plate so I could get bites without avocado. Thank you chef. For our entrées I had the kampachi with coconut rice(perfectly cooked, flavorful and basically Hawaii on a plate) delicious! My husband enjoyed the filet. He said it was perfectly cooked, tender and flavorful. The cheddar potatoes, onion rings and the sauce made for a beautiful dish. Our server Iokua was friendly, knowledgeable about the food(he took time to explain each dish) and frequently checked in to make sure our meal was going well. He and his other team members have mastered the balance between meeting your needs and providing a pleasant dining experience without hovering. Thank you! For dessert we shared the mud pie which came on a plate with happy anniversary written in chocolate. Just lovely. The French press Kona coffee was another example of Browns Beach House taking the extra step to elevate everything they serve. We highly recommend this restaurant for pleasurable meal.

    It was our wedding anniversary and Linda took us to a quiet table at water's edge. Gave us a complimentary champagne toast and took great care of us during our visit. Food was very good albeit from a limited menu. But I'd rather go to a restaurant with a smaller menu that does everything well. Staff was friendly and efficient.

    Yesterday, we had our third dinner at Brown's Beach House this year. The sweet potato bread was as good as ever! The lobster bisque tasted very, very strong, and I thought it was extremely over-salted. I should have returned it. I had the tempura ahi, and also thought that this was over-salted. I'm a bit disappointed, as the other two meals we had there were fantastic.
