Steak needs to be trimmed too much gristle and fat. The soup was delicious. A woman with a VERY loud voice sat next to us even though we were the only two tables in an empty restaurant.

One of the best food and best service we’ve had. When the service is great you don’t really care about the food but fortunately the food was even better. Definitely recommend, it’s more of mature crowd but worth a try.

Brownes is one of those rare places that has stood the test of time and still reliably delivers a terrific dining experience. It's fine dining but unpretentious. I've enjoyed every meal I've had there over the years and look forward to many more!
