Brown Hound Downtown

Just WOW. If you’re looking for a new place to try or a place to bring your friends, family, that special someone or your wife “This is where you bring them”.

Greeted as soon as I walked up and seated very fast. I asked Waitress for a Long Island Ice Tea and she suggested a Beach Island Ice Tea. Well 1 Beach Long Island turned into 2 and the drinks were on point and on point. I ordered Clams Casino for an Appetizer and Lemon-Parsley Seared Salmon for the main course and HOLY SMOKE. The clams casino was HUGE clams and worth the price but let me tell you about that main entree. That Lemon-Parsley Seared Salmon “8 oz Faroe Island Salmon. Cauliflower Purée. Roasted Broccolini. Lemon Burre-Blanc Sauce” was INCREDIBLE and some of the BEST Salmon in Monroe County I’ve EVER had. Ohhhh yeah… I got some dessert because the amazing waitress convinced me to get it. Of course it was delicious but not as good as that Salmon… Please stop in and try this hidden gem. You will leave happy and on a full stomach. What else can you want… Support Local and Eat Gouda!!!

Went for dinner and really appreciated several aspects of the experience. The decor is lovely, and the menu lights up when you open it—something I hadn’t seen before. The chairs on the untaken tables were arranged beautifully, and the balcony room offers a nice view of the museum. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive.

The balcony was a bit dark, so next time we might choose the inside room for more light. The food was basic and didn’t quite stand out for us, but it was still nice to get out and enjoy the evening.

When I think of my experience at the Brown Hound, my first thought was how wonderful the staff was. I went there with my sister who uses a walker. The staff went above and beyond to help us out. The food was also fantastic!

The Brown Hound Downtown (Rochester NY) was warm on a very cold winter night. Our waitress, Juliana, was friendly and showed us around, including the Ballroom and Parlor. Our food, Winter Apple salad with grilled chicken and Pasta Primavera with grilled chicken, was wonderful. Our dessert, Cheesy Eddie's plain cheesecake topped with house-made berry topping was creamy and smooth. We will definitely return.

I got the classic chicken and waffles and it was divine. The blueberry sauce was the perfect addiction and elevated the dish immensely. Our server, Robert, was a delight and he took such good care of us. There was live music which added to the atmosphere and this was an overall lovely experience. Will come again!

The food is great here. Wonderful restaurant to go to especially when visiting the MAG. The staff is kind and professional. Try their chocolate chip cookies - they're the best in all of Rochester hands down. Live music on Saturday and Sunday!

Was visiting the area from out of town and stopped in for brunch over the weekend. Service was friendly and attentive, ambience was pleasant, and the food was fantastic! I had Web's Loco Moco and I was very impressed by the great cook on the pork belly - tender meat and crispy skin. Also had a wonderful french toast latte. If I'm ever visiting the area again I will absolutely eat at this gem again!
