Lovely welcoming restaurant 14th September 2008

My favourite thing about the Browns restaurant chain is that they always choose a beautiful old building for their setting. This one's no exception and the decor is welcoming and classic, with dark wood furniture and ceiling fans. Our table was in a prime position for people-watching with a big arched window looking out at the passing tourist crowds.

Service is very friendly and the food is of a high standard - we visited on a particularly grim day outside, cold, windy and raining, and were very glad we'd chosen this place to take shelter! Posh comfort food for a cold day is something they do extremely well – recommended dishes are classics like baked Camembert, steak frites, or goat’s cheese salad.

My Review 13th September 2008

I wouldn't recommend Browns. The one in Bristol is pretty good but in Bath it's so big which means it has to bull full to be enjoyable and as it invariably isn't it just looks empty. The last time I went there they only had one Vegetarian meal (some dish with Rice I forget) and it was so salty. I couldn't finish it.

It's also expensive too.

Good place with good food 22nd August 2008

Its a nice place with great decor (large mirrors, fans and palms) and attracts a sophisticated bunch of young professionals. The cocktails are good and so is the food, great quality and a fair amount of choice. There is also outside dining if the terrible british summer permits, it is a covered outside area so maybe you'll be alright. Staff are variable, sometimes great service, sometimes not so much, depends who you get i guess. Its busy in the evenings, particularly at a weekend so if you go then, be prepared to stand all night. The wines on offer are mostly good too.
