Browns Brasserie & Bar Kingston

We had a very enjoyable office Christmas lunch at Brown's today. The location overlooking the river is perfect and the interior is modern and well laid out over two floors. I had smoked salmon, followed by roast turkey, with a lemon meringue tart for dessert. The food was delicious, and the service was fast, friendly and efficient. Recommended.

Title: Exquisite Steak Experience at Browns, Thanks to Lara I recently had the pleasure of dining at Browns and was served by the wonderful Lara, who turned an ordinary evening into an exceptional culinary experience. From the moment we were seated, Lara's attentive and warm demeanor made us feel genuinely welcomed. The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the steak. Cooked to perfection, it was juicy, tender, and seasoned just right, hitting all the taste notes effortlessly. Every bite melted in my mouth, encapsulating the essence of what a perfect steak should be. Lara’s service was impeccable – she was knowledgeable about the menu and her recommendations were spot on. She anticipated our needs without being intrusive, ensuring our glasses were never empty and that we had everything we needed throughout the meal. The atmosphere at Browns was cozy and inviting, enhancing the overall dining experience. But it was Lara’s exceptional service that truly set the evening apart. Her professionalism, coupled with a genuine smile, made us feel like valued guests. I can confidently say that this was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a while, and I would gladly return for another delightful steak dinner, especially if it means being served by Lara again. Kudos to Browns for their excellent team and outstanding cuisine!

The afternoon tea was the poorest quality afternoon tea that I have ever experienced in my life. The regular teas were served with plain chutney sandwiches, cakes with their bottoms missing - most of it was inedible. The gluten free was below average, the only thing saving it was the scone. There was a bowl of cream served that was almost churned to butter with a few strawberries on top, and a brownie that was still raw. Absolutely appalling standard. We also had some weird encounter with a lady who accused me of not telling the waiter I required gluten free, when it was on the booking, I was provided a gluten free menu on arrival and spoke to waiter about my allergies. Overall, it was a waste of a journey and our time to go there.
