We went there to have the Hot Brown and it was ok, I am not disappointed in it. The service was terrible and the “Derby Pie” that they raved about and said made by local bakery and best in the state…. Well it was the smallest piece of pie I’ve ever had in my life and no flavor. We brought it to our servers attention and he agreed and they still did nothing about it. My homemade Kentucky Derby pie is so better!

A must for fine dining in a classic metropolitan setting, especially over the holidays. We started with the farmers salad. My partners go to is the signature Hot Brown in their petite portion. I enjoyed the Rack of lamb. The food was excellent as always and served by our favorite waiter Rob. Be sure to ask for the Old English grill dining room if you prefer a more quiet atmosphere. The Lobby/Bar dining area can be a bit loud at times.

The Original Hot Brown for which Louisville , and particularly The Brown Hotel is known was outstanding. No other rendition compares. Service was above and beyond.

We had a wonderful dinner at the Lobby Bar and Grill. The service was excellent. The atmosphere was so amazing. It’s like having a meal during the 1920s or 1940s. The food was excellent. Our server, Michelle, was very attentive and met all our needs. We will be back.

First off, great service by the entire staff as always. Rob E. our waiter was not just a great waiter but a great guy to talk with. Rob gets 5 stars! We don’t need a menu except for cocktails. Two made with Bourbon of course followed up by a couple of Hot Browns and in what better place than the home of the Hot Brown. No place in the country does it as good or even close. Derby Pie to close out the dinner and a little more conversation with Rob. He needs to be doing voice overs on the side!!! Not my first review and most likely not my last one of dinner at the Brown Hotel.
