The standout for me was the salmon it was cooked beautifully and tasted excellent. The other fish dish, though, was just okay and nothing especially memorable.
It’s also worth noting that they add a 20% service charge to the bill, on top of VAT and process on menu are just without taxes.
Also i went on Monday lunch and it was dead.
Photos show the Seafood platter to share, the 7oz fillet steak rare and the trio of chocolate desserts to share. The Cherry Bramble cocktail was just right.
I would recommend Browns to friends, we come here a couple of times a year and enjoy the decor, service and quality of the food for a special occasion.
