We took some out of town guests and truly enjoyed it. Everyone ordered something different and felt that their meal was the best. We will be back and won’t wait for a special occasion .

We really enjoyed our visit to the Brown! The restaurants ambiance was amazing. Must have a reservation. We came in and were seated immediately at a table with a great view. The waitress was very friendly and on the ball. She took our drink request and brought the most delicious bread to start. Unfortunately, it took over 20 minutes for the drink order to be delivered. The waitress apologized and then the manager came to the table and waived the drink cost. The food arrived shortly and was absolutely delicious. The Hot Brown which is their trademark dish was the amazing. Kudos to the chef! Definitely a must go to location if you are visiting Louisville, Ky.

I was dismayed by the quality of the service. The Brown used to be one of the finer restaurants in Louisville, and I have received better service at a Pub. There was a hair in my food, it was poorly seasoned (both the appetizer and the main course) and there were multiple menu items that the restaurant was out of. This was a Sunday night reservation early in the night. I won’t go back. Even my dining partner made comments about poor quality of our dinner and experience.

The setting is lovely. We always enjoy the LIVE piano music. The woman checking us in last night at 7:30 was OUTSTANDING. The Filson book discussion had just concluded at the Brown Auditorium & lots of people were trying to get a table ( we had made advance reservations) . She was so patient with each request as the restaurant was fully booked. She even offered alternate restaurants in the area when people did not want to wait for an open table. My scallops and accompanying vegetables were the best as was our waiter! Thanks to the staff at The Lobby Bar for making a normal dinning night out so special.
