Prime rib was tough and hard to chew. Had to come from old cow and cold and tasted like it came out of microwave. 15 years ago it was good but I probably won't be back . Service started out good but got worse when we left she was setting at a table drinking a margarita.
Thank you Brown Bottle for a great experience tonight. I was back in town for an event and made time to dine there with friends and I’m so happy you’re not only still there after all these years, but still the best! Loved my meal, the place looks amazing, and our waitress was fantastic. It has been 20 years since I’ve had your Italian and creamy garlic dressings together and it was exactly as I remembered it! Loved every minute of my time there! I’ll be back!
Quiet, low-key dining. Amazing pasta plates
Best italian food around
The waitress was great. She kept me informed about my meal and it wasn't her fault that the kitchen screwed up and didn't make my entree. Got it 5 minutes before we left.
Weve never ate there but we might move over the top of the restaurant
A nice experience!?

Had an amazing server this evening. Brittany was great. Attentive and organized. A joy to have. We seldom go to restaurants with good service these days so this was an absolute breath of fresh air. It was busy and we still felt cared for. Way to go on the staffing brown bottle. We will be back. I'm glad we came considering the experience we had in cedar falls. Thank you for making date night memorable

My boyfriend and I dined in and Dee was our waitress. She was overly accommodating, answered all of our questions for us and we didn’t feel uneducated or rushed. She made us feel super welcomed and couldn’t have had a better night and dining experience. Our food was generous and hot, and the garlic bread was THE BEST. Ended it perfectly with the best cheesecake. 10/10 would recommend again.

Absolutely amazing food, and a lot of it! I was a little taken back by the price until I realized just how much food you’re getting. Salad and delicious garlic bread with every meal. Amazing service too! You can tell that the people of the city love to keep this place living.

I specifically requested the seafood lasagna and talk to them over the phone twice about it, but ended up getting the beef one. I do not eat beef and had to throw away the whole thing. Please also try to include cutlery for pickup orders
I want to add in here that the manager called to apologize and offer me a refund. she was genuinely interested in what went wrong and I appreciate her calling me and offering me a meal next time I’m in town
