    Waiter got our order wrong, which is OK but then when the dish that was ordered came it was not to the standards of the Brown we have always know. salad was fabulous, beef bourguignon was not good.

    It has been quite a while since we had supper at the Brown. Harold was especially helpful with information and directions. Grace was our server who was attentive to the fact we had tickets to attend a show next door in the Brown Theater. The reservation was accurate and seating was prompt.
