Food is fine service a bit slow. Nice ambience. Expensive for what you get but average for George Street. more

I have been to Browns a couple of times now, the last visit being two weeks ago for a Birthday celebration. They do not take reservations, but we only had a wait of less than 5 minutes prior to being seated on a Saturday night, which was pretty good. There is a real buzz in the restaurant at the weekend... more

A group of six of us ate here one Thursday night. We had prebooked and got a great table.

Decent wine list. Great... more

Had never been to Browns before but very impressed. Huge inside with lots of tables & great decor - kind of 1930's meets New England. Went for a Sunday lunch & had a roast dinner - pork with all the trimmings. Food lovely & tasty & good sized portions. Our only complaint was that food could have been warmer. Great... more

6 of us had dinner recently in Browns, we were seated at a table that was just about big enough for us, it was fine but there was more comfortable tables there but taken unfortunately.

One of the worst rissottos I have ever come across. And the service did not rescue the food. An extra star for decor - which is generous. more
