    The food was amazing. A bit pricey but it is ocean view restaurant in Hawaii. The lobster pasta dish was melt in your mouth delicious. Nice group of selections. The server was fantastic. Kind and funny. Also knowledgeable about menu and wines. I will definitely be back.

    Great ambiance, although live music stopped shortly after we arrived, but it was just beautiful surrounded by water and gorgeous flora. Quite pricey for some of the menu items, $80 for a relatively small piece of fish (the special) was over the top. But overall it was a good experience. Be prepared for a very long walk to BBH if you're not a guest, the parking lot is quite a distance!

    We had a wonderful dining experience at Brown’s. Our server, Iokua, was excellent. He explained the menu and offered good recommendations. The signature Ube rolls were the perfect starter. We had the Ti Leaf Wrapped Kanpachi and Dry Aged Ribeye as our entrees and were very pleased. Watching the sun set from this amazing view just completed the evening. We look forward to coming back here next time.

    Un cadre idyllique pour dîner mais la qualité des plats est à améliorer à mon sens. Le contre filet de bœuf était trop cuit par rapport à la demande de medium rare. Le mahi mahi était assez neutre en terme de saveurs. La pieuvre était grillée donc un peu sèche. Par contre, le pain à la patate douce était délicieux. Le dessert, le snickers hawaiien était également très bon. L'ambiance du restaurant donnant sur la mer avec un coucher du soleil tardif ainsi qu'un orchestre rend ce lieu féérique.
