"What's happened here? This used to be my absolute fave restaurant. Great atmosphere, beatutiful rooms, great food, a really nice Scottish waitress who would conscientiously tell you about the daily specials in a charming way. Weeellll the lovely waitress has gone (where?oh where? replaced by male staff totally in love with themselves, and not at all interested in seating or serving guests ,the atmosphere is not so great any more (at least in my opinion but the food. Now this is where I really been having problems lately. The cheeseburger used to be an absolutely reliable staple -last time I went I could hardly eat a quarter of it Never mind the half raw onion thoughtfully placed next to it, it was the meat that really shocked me. I thought maybe better not eat any more, you never know. My partner's salmon was flavourless. Another time we went a side dish of green beans had definitely not seen any boiling water, let alone seasoning. So what is going on here? Cost cutting? A new chef? I have no idea. Come back, old Brown's, I beg you!"

Just Arrived, so far so good! Not a bad evening in the end, food reasonable and service was good

The food at this restaurant is consistently good. We especially enjoy the breakfast, although we find the beef tomato to be too large. The atmosphere is always clean, nice, and relaxing. We have never visited at night, but we plan to try it out soon.

Even though I have never dined at Brown's, I enjoy going there for drinks after work. The atmosphere is very relaxing, the staff is polite and courteous, and there is often lovely piano music playing in the background. The highlight of Brown's, however, is their delicious special offer on amazing cocktails during the week. I highly recommend trying them! View menu

Visited here for breakfast, and we were suitably impressed. I had ham and eggs, and a friend had Eggs Benedict. The atmosphere was maybe a little quiet and high brow for a breakfast setting, but its a friendly and welcoming place. Didn't want to talk too loud though! Would definitely recommend it as a breakfast venue if you're in the area (don't be put off by the lack of a breakfast menu outside they have a decent selection!

I've been to Brown's 3 or 4 times recently for drinks and I've also eaten there. I quite like this place. It's located on Edinburgh's George Street which is full of places similar to this. The drink selection is great although prices are a bit on the steep side although that is pretty standard for George Street. I've heard good reviews about the food from friends and family however the last time I ate there my meal was burnt at the bottom and cold in the middle. I think I must have been unlucky though due to the other good feedback I've heard.

This is a restaurant/bar at the western end of Edinburgh's prestigious George Street. If you are looking for a more classy establishment where there is very little chance of coming into contact with someone wearing a tracksuit then this is the place for you. The drinking/sitting area as you go in is not huge. Everyone gets a seat. There is none of the getting shoved and nudged by people walking past. For George Street, which is generally expensive I have always found Browns to be reasonably priced by comparison. Overall I would reccomend this place to anyone wishing a superior evening experience.

i have been here around 3 times now and for the first 2 it was lovely, although pricy! it used to have a very very nice cheese and tomato flatbread,and the main reason we came back was for that! unfortunately, they don't do this anymore which was really disappointing. however, for the first 2 times we went there the food was icredible and cooked just right. however, last time i went it was not too good. the waiter was obviously a trainee and did not know what he was doing. we waited a very long time for our food and when it finally got to us it was cold. we asked the waiter if he could heat it up for us, and after yetr another wait, he brung it back cold again. so again, we asked him to heat...

I went for a meal here after hearing good reviews of another branch in Cambridge. I have to say it was pretty disappointing. We were ignored on arrival by no less than 6 members of staff and then asked to wait when someone finally did come and speak to us, despite the fact that the place was mostly empty. When he did return he took us to a table, practically grunted and left. Then things picked up somewhat as the waitress who took over was delightful very helpful and attentive, despite being busy and we were given menus straight away. The dining experience itself could have been better the food was fairly expensive for the quality and some things were just plain wrong (I wouldn't advise the...
