    The views and setting are outstanding. Our waitstaff was excellent. The food and cocktails were good but VERY pricey and one of our appetizers wasn't served until we got our entrees.

    You will not beat this setting! Especially if you have dinner at sunset. Absolutely breathtaking. Food is pricey - but that’s to be expected at a resort like this. Just think of it as paying for the food and VIEW. Which in the end, is totally worth it.

    We went to Browns for our 10 year wedding anniversary dinner and it didn't disappoint. Our server was Chelsea and she did a fantastic job making sure we were taken care of. The food and drinks were delicious and they even gave us a wonderful anniversary dessert. Located right in the beach you will love your view while eating.

    All was delicious and service was exceptional by Summer. Sunset at the end of an early dinner capped it all off. Looking forward to returning when back on the Island 🌺

    Highly recommend Browns Beach House to anyone staying at the Fairmont Orchid. Our server was very attentive and catered to our every need. The atmosphere is amazing with live music and a view of the ocean. We had the Ribeye, scallops and lobster fried rice and it was phenomenal.

    Food was terrible. Service was OK. The only reason we went is because we were staying at the Fairmont orchid. I would never choose to go here and even if I was staying, there would never come back.
