First time going here. We were just finishing a college tour and wanted breakfast but it was getting late so when we saw brunch We jumped at the opportunity. The original restaurant we were going to go to had an hour wait.. there was a reason! Where to begin… The waitress took our order and explained she would be back with waters in a bit as they had no clean glasses. My husband and I ordered coffee. I also ordered the breakfast burrito without steak - just vegetables. I was charged the same price as if I ordered it with steak! There was an empty ketchup bottle on the table. No napkins or silverware. There was no cream/milk for the coffee. There were no spoons to stir the coffee but I guess without cream what’s there to stir? When our meals arrived a gentleman brought them out and was annoyed when I asked for cream and silverware. In his defense I saw him getting plates for another table and was probably feeling overwhelmed with the lack of service. Anyway, my daughter grabbed ketchup off of a table nearby and we made do. The food left something to be desired. The cider donut holes were the saving grace- yummy! My husbands toast was toasted on one side but was dry without butter- maybe he should’ve requested butter when he placed his order but stupid us assumed the toast would be buttered or it would be on the table. All of the Canadian bacon was grilled on one side only similar to the toast. The home fries were not tasty but that’s a personal preference. Our coffee cups were stained all over and dirty looking. I’ve never written a review about a restaurant before but felt compelled after our $75 brunch which left something to be desired!

VERY loud, and a totally different menu online as compared to the in person menu. When asked about this our waitress responded “I’m sorry that you were bamboozled my queen” and she had already referred to our entire table as “my loves”. Overly familiar language and a very uninspiring menu left a lot to be desired.

We had a fabulous time at our rehearsal dinner and after party at Brownstone and have been raving about it ever since. Everyone loved it!
The food was absolutely delicious and served and timed to perfection, and we discovered they have the very best clam chowder anywhere!
Outstanding service from the chefs, bartenders and service staff made our event a big hit and the perfect way to kick off our wedding weekend and meet the new family. Special thanks to our coordinator, Leah, for being so responsive and thorough with the planning along the way.
We highly recommend Brownstone to anyone seeking delicious food in a great atmosphere in Boston Back Bay for a special event.

The NY Strip was without a doubt, the best NY strip I've ever had. It was perfectly cooked, and the demiglace was absolutely sublime!

Brownstone never misses! Paul, Tori, and Mia are the kind of people that make you actually look forward to coming in — always smiling, cracking jokes, and keeping the energy up. The roast beef and buffalo chicken sliders are legit some of the best I’ve had at a bar .
Patrick is clutch too — super accommodating and always making sure everything’s on point, even when it’s busy. The whole crew just makes the place feel like a spot you want to hang out at, not just grab food and leave.

Stopped by Brownstone for dinner and got the Pesto Orecchiette, recommended to me by my wonderful server Mya. Superb service by Mya, great food, and great cocktails. I will definitely be coming by for their brunch.
The breakfast plate was very filling and great affordable pricing. The espresso martini was extremely strong and undrinkable. Oysters were amazing. I will be back

Tori and Paul are amazing! Every time I come to Brownstone, they bring the energy and make the experience top-tier. Super cool, down-to-earth, and always on point with the drinks. Whether it’s a chill night or a busy crowd, they hold it down like pros. Definitely deserve the shoutout—y’all got some real MVPs behind the bar!
