Decent service, until they messed up my salad, I specifically clarified when ordering what I didn’t want it to come with and low and behold it showed up with it all, I’m not much of a waster and did make do with what I had but did alert staff of the issue at hand. Apparently the full bill (about $300 at this point) and no compensation was an acceptable resolution to the problem. I explained how unacceptable the whole situation was only to be greeted with excuses and an offer to “fix” it. After waiting 15 min initially I had no desire to wait any longer for something that was completely not my fault in the first place so I declined and made do. When confronted with the obvious “mistake” on the invoice the waiter continued to make excuses until he figured out there was no point in arguing against me when your in the wrong in the first place and he stormed off to the floor chief for a discussion and came back with a revised bill. Being a fellow restauranteur and business person this was a fairly ridiculous performance over an $18 salad that they messed up in the first place. Everything else was A1, I...
Read moreThis spacious restaurant has a clean and fun atmosphere, moody lighting, and great service. The menu here pulls from multiple cuisines and melds it with a western palette. I appreciated how they added curry to the fried fish tacos, which reminded me of the mango curry sauce at Gordon's Fish & Chips in Vegas.
I ordered the steak frites. I felt the elements of the dish did not complement each other well, especially since the coleslaw was wilted and underwhelming. I tried the French dip sandwich, which was really good; though the au jus was a little too reduced and salty.
What shone the most were the appetizers. The calamari was really crispy and flavorful. I highly recommend the kung pao chicken lettuce wraps, especially to share with a larger party. In the bites menu, the fried cauliflower was soooo good!! The chips and guac were decent, I liked that they dusted the chips with cumin. The parmesan fries were just okay.
Overall, I recommend this place a lot! Service was fast and friendly. Our server is a new employee and absolutely did a great job helping us out and answering...
Read moreWe stopped by Browns Socialhouse on our way to the ferry terminal and were pleasantly surprised by how much we enjoyed the experience. The atmosphere was lively yet relaxed, making it the perfect place to unwind before continuing our journey. I opted for the Spicy Ginger Beef, and true to its name, it packed just the right amount of heat. The flavors were bold and balanced, with the perfect level of spice to keep things interesting. Pairing it with a crisp, chilled Pinot Grigio was an excellent choice, as the wine’s refreshing notes perfectly complemented the dish.
Our server was fantastic—attentive, polite, and genuinely made us feel welcome. It’s always nice to have staff that checks in without being overbearing, and she struck that perfect balance. Service like this really elevates the dining experience.
Whether you’re in a rush or looking for a place to linger, Browns Socialhouse is a great option. It was the perfect pit stop before catching our ferry, and I’m already looking forward to...
