Browns Nottingham in Nottingham

The restaurant was okay, but the menu could be more varied.

Definitely a 'treat' destination. Other reviews mention the food prices, however there are set menus that are quite reasonable. Anyway, the food is divine and the service above and beyond what you'd expect. If you are lucky enough to get looked after by PC you will get premium service, a fantastic human being. To finish I had the best Irish coffee I've ever had! Enjoy. M

I took my young daughter for breakfast. The service was exceptional, fantastic food (a notch above most normal cafes) and a kids' menu. The portions aren't huge but it's very flavourful. It's very good value. An adult and a kid breakfast plus a drink for each of us- around £20.

Such an amazing experience on such a special day for my self and my new husband. Maya went above and beyond to make it special for my family, friends and for us. Thank you for such a lovley meal and great service!

Nice food, enjoy the dinner with Mediterranean style food.

Came Here Yesterday For My Birthday Our First Visit And Not The Last The Service Was Amazing And The Food Was To Die For So Thanks To All Of You

Brilliant food. Mikes attention around service was exceptional.

Ruby gave us great service, I loved the wine with my boys ❤️

I had a wonderful time and it was all down to Ruby, she really made my night special. I’ve never met a server so attentive; if I could change one things about browns, I’d called it ruby’s.

Frank and I took my great niece and her new fiance there to celebrate their engagement and they loved it. Excellent service from Precious - a lovely friendly and efficient young lady also attentive service from the wine waiter - sorry, I didn't get his name. One star less on the atmosphere rating, as it was so so noisy, which was understandable for a Friday evening I guess, we did however manage to switch off to a degree! Many thanks to everyone, including all those working behind the scenes.

Food at browns, absolutely beautiful, had a lunch time steak today, didn't need a steak knife, so tender, staff are so nice and very professional.

A stunning retreat in the middle of the city. Stunning food and Mike was an attentive host. Thank you, made a brilliant birthday even better.

Once again we chose Browns for our pre-theatre meal...located on table 61 which we loved as it was quieter than in the main room. Our server Anna-Maria was a great host, she was attentive and had a lovely sense of humour, she listened to our needs and made us feel welcomed. As always we left looking forward to our next visit to our favourite restaurant.

Honestly beautiful! We came here for out last date night as Mr and Miss before we get married next weekend and my goodness, it was delightful! Precious, our lovely waitress was amazing! Will 100% be back 🥰

Fantastic place...very much recommend Browns.

Simon made our day, beautiful service and chat :)

Excellent food with first class service

Fantastic meal and amazing service by our waitress Precious. Would highly recommend

Another fantastic experience and visit at one of our favourite places in Nottingham. Nino the manager was an excellent host. Would definitely recommend.

Fabulous as always. Served by Mike who was great, super efficient!

I took my mum here for a belated Mother's Day dinner because I'd heard great things about Brown's. God was I dissapointed. To start with, our drinks took 30-40 mins to arrive. If that isn't bad enough, they only arrived when I asked the server bringing our starters to check on them. Based on the speed they got there and the state of my drink I'd sya they'd been sat on the bar... it wasn't a busy night. Sadly, that wasn't the worst of it. We were freezing. We weren't outside, nor were we by an open window or door. There must have been a draft which I understand cannot be controlled. However, we were also near a radiator so I asked one of the managers if they could turn it on/up or even bring us blankets as my mother was sitting with her coat on. He raced upstairs but nothing happened. Now, the food was glorious. It saved the whole night as best it could. The mash potatos were so creamy they barely stayed on the fork and they balanced out my (over salted) pork belly and scallops perfectly. I did bring up these issues with our server and requested the service charge and my mum's drink be comped. They were very understanding but unfortunately the damage was done. I know that other locations are far better so this was just dissapointing.

Amazing food as always, Maja was a pleasure and looked after us. Very attentive , smiling all the time. Highly recommend

really quick and efficient service, our server was professional and kind.

Good service. Good food (smallish portions). Nice environment.

What a lovely chilled atmosphere. The food was amazing, and I really appreciated the beautiful presentation and attention to detail. Service was first class.

Unfortunately our afternoon tea was very disappointing, we paid £25 each to celebrate mothering Sunday, our 2 finger sandwiches had been out too long and we're stale , the tea in the pot was luke warm and overall it definitely was not worth the money..£100 for 4 people and £10 added for service charge ...we certainly won't be visiting again.

Delicious food , and service was amazing extra special Thanks to Finlay

Maja was an amazing server. Look after us fabulously and had a great attitude - thank you!

1st time visiting, definitely won't be our last. The food was outstanding 👌 vert nice restaurant, lovely atmosphere. The staff were all lovely. Can't wait to return.

Lovely meal, friendly service, totally recommended for a special occasion

Food and drinks are awesome but after the waiter gave us the bill, we waited for 15 minutes until he came back with the card machine, no one came to our area and even some of the staffs could see us, they didn’t come to help us. Other than that it was a pretty enjoyable dinner.

Had a lovely Sunday roast beef dinner today at Browns. We were served by Ryan who was an absolute delight and made our day!

It was a business evening meal. The food was delicious. The staff were impeccably attentive and the drinks delicious. Definitely recommend a business lunch or dinner here.

Food was great, the atmosphere and experience too. Precious really helped make the night - thank you!

Good experience. Mike was great

Very good evening meal here on Sunday. Staff were friendly and attentive. The meal was great - starter, mai and dessert all very good. It has a lovely interior in historic building.

No check on food, salad is cold and no roasted. Nothing offered in return. Quite disappointing but liked the starter

Dined at Browns Saturday night. Greeted beautifully by a lovely gentleman. Waiter DC, was attentive and really friendly. Food delicious, ambiance fabulous. I’ve not been to Browns in around 3-4 years. The refurb is fantastic and looks so classy. Will definitely be back when the weather gets warmer.

Obnoxious bar staff member- average food compared to what it used to be at extortionate prices 🙂 rest of the staff super friendly.

Gorgeous place and the staff were lovely! Food was delicious, my calamari wasn't great but everything else was good! It was quite pricey but its a lovely treat! There's a few vegan options to, but not many!

Good food and nice surroundings.

Great dinner out, very nice interior and food was great all round. Brilliant service from our waiter PC, he made us feel very welcome and had a good laugh.

Can’t wait to visit this place again ! Food and service was worth every penny And THANKS TO PC he made our time there even more special

I really liked the ambience But the service and the food was even better The staff was kind and especially PC Might visit again

Maja was brilliant. Excellent food and atmosphere

Gorgeous stunning place, fabulous atmosphere Mike couldn't have gone out his way more.. Food was delicious, cooked to perfection 😋 Planning on returning for big birthday it was such a special place

Delicious food and fantastic service from Maja!!

Had an awesome experience at Browns Nottingham thanks to PC! Super friendly, attentive, and made the whole night feel special. Top-notch service—definitely coming back!

Food was just delightful And the staff was super friendly Especially this guy PC ! Overall good experience 👍

Amazing Place Great service Special shout out to PC

Fabulous place, food and excellent service by Maja

Really like this place, been a couple of times now. Good choice on the menu and the dishes are really good, some just a little bit different. Chef to be complimented. Staff attentive and good service. Not pricey, really good value for what we have.

A belated review I'm afraid as we visited just before Xmas. We were a walk in and despite being very busy they still went out of their way to find us a table. Food was excellent and was matched by the service

Simply put: Food was lovely! Atmosphere was great, but a very large drunk but merry table next to us meant that the youngest person sat on the end of the table could not hear anything (even across the table) except the person sat directly next to them at the table (just for reference I am the youngest in my 30's). Service was (for us) quite slow. First time dining here after having no end of recommendations. On entry the decor and atmosphere is wonderful, we were shown to our table after waiting for our other guests in the bar which was superb, swift bar service with a great premium selection to choose from! I am going to have to add it to my places to meet up for an evening drink! After being seated and having our drinks order taken for the table we had to then wait 25 minutes for our drinks to arrive in which time the waitress had been back to take the order of food. Following the meal (more on the food in a second) we were offered the desert menu before another unusual long wait. The food here is great, no matter what your tastes are, from a simple fish and chips - I was told the fish was fantastic to crab and prawn linguini. Scallops were cooked to perfection for my starter and the poached plumbs were nicely spiced and cooked. The drinks themselves were fantastic, a great selection of premium beers and wines to choose from. I was served swiftly at the bar on arrival but the table service after was slow and dampened the experience. As I mentioned the decor and atmosphere were lovely its was just unfortunate we had the large table next to us. I look forward to returning here maybe for an evening drink, or maybe for lunch one day. Parking is easy on street even with the road works around the area. Well worth coming to.

I love their sunday roast but I didn't know that their valentine's dinner is amazing! Had a such a nice time.

Came in for a quick drink and recommendations for local bars, Dylan was super friendly and helpful. Great service

Great bistro style pub/ restaurant moderately priced and the food is good quality.

I enjoyed this restaurant, the food and service were both good the only problem was the noise level.

Arrived on time and still hot. Really tasty, cooked to perfection. Delivery driver really friendly 😊

Breakfast was amazing , with fresh smothies 🍓 & pear Tea 🍵

It’s nice… the service is friendly but very slow. The food has a good variety but not really worth the price it’s charged. The steak comes with a block of cold butter over the top so you barely taste the meat. And a very small side salad of beetroot and feta for a fiver. The decoration is beautiful and 10/10 but feels like the menu is trying to do too much and not really doing much.

Amazing service by Maja and great food

We ordered a chateabriand for £70 for two. It was meant to 16oz of meat - it was NOT. Firstly, it was very disappointing that the meat was all pre-sliced (which is not how the classic dish should be) and we had a measly 3 thin slices each, it felt more like 8oz in total between two people. When the plate arrived we genuinely thought there would be another plate coming, it was barely enough for 1 person. We felt utterly ripped off of £70… basically we had a plateful of fries and onion rings with 3 measly pieces of thinly sliced meat each. We felt utterly robbed of £70 and will NEVER go back.

Had a great time, my chicken and chorizo was amazing and so was the service from Mike - thanks

great time dining in for a 50th birthday party !! lovely staff - especially precious. lovely food and great service. would recommend!! :))

One of the best places to eat in Nottingham - possibly THE best if you are celiac. There are celiac menus with lots of choice, and very similar to non-celiac meals. The staff are just lovely; so friendly and helpful, always smiling and keen to make sure you have a great experience. Food wise, make sure you try the stem ginger ice cream! Only suggestion I would make is that staff don’t seem to wear name badges so I can never remember who served me!

Absolutely incredible restaurant. Ryan and Tom, in particular, were incredible and very attentive. Tom makes incredible cocktails. The food was amazing. It's a wonderful restaurant and we will definitely be going again.

Very long wait in between courses . Food was not really hot enough . Long wait for drinks . Staff were all very friendly polite and lovely but clearly just not enough of them to service the amount of diners. Disappointed

Excellent restaurant, cannot be faulted on both food and service

Valentines night. Starter Sea food plater to share. Prawns, a few calamari, and a scallop. Mains Chateaubriand and beige frozen fries and oinion rings. Beef was ok. Three piece desert to share between two? Problem with one of the deserts that I won't s hair with you. Service was fantastic. Discount on the bill was not asked for but was implemented. Overall, I would say they couldn't cope with the numbers. It took 20 minutes to make our first cocktails. And that was the time from ordering. What surprise me was seeing the host that saw me to my seat leave before any of the diners. Maybe he had a better place to go. Overall. Ok. But maybe for a not so busy night.

Had yet another top notch evening at Browns. Our server, Sahal, was friendly, polite and professional 😊 Food was fabulous, exceeded description on the menu, left feeling nicely rounded! 😁 Will continue to be one of our favourite places, and be back again soon ❤️

Superb Sunday lunch. Sadly no Chateaubriand today but roast beef very acceptable. Starters of Scallops & Calamari beautifully cooked to perfection. Thank you Chef. Atmosphere marked down only because it was very busy so a tad noisy

We always have such a lovey time at Browns, the staff are very attentive and friendly, the food and service is fab! We would definitely recommend.

Haven't been to Browns in years but decided to host my baby shower here today in their private function room and it was perfect! The afternoon tea was amazing, and service from Ryan was brilliant, he was chatty, quick and made our experience fab! Thank you so much for making my baby shower a special occasion for me and my family and friends ☺️

Great brekky. Excellent quality food and well cooked. Attentive service. Extensive menu and good for small and large groups

Great food and great service from Finlay

Definitely worth a visit! The service from Finley and the food was amazing.

finley was amazing! such good food and drinks, will be back! thanks

Served by a lad from Bradford, think his name was Finley. Good service and lovely food.

Lovely food and brilliant service from Finlay :)

Finley was a gem when it came to our teams xmas dinner

Service was wonderful, friendly staff and the food was exceptional. My fiend hadn't been before and was very impressed with my choice. The waiter recognised me which was nice. Thank you

Excellent service and lovely food

We had an incredible experience celebrating our anniversary at Browns Nottingham today! The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff went above and beyond to make the occasion special. A big shoutout to Ilyas, who served us—he was so attentive and helpful throughout the meal. When he found out it was our anniversary, he surprised us with a beautiful cake, making the celebration even more memorable. We truly appreciated the thoughtful gesture and the overall wonderful service. Highly recommend Browns Nottingham for any special occasion!

I booked fairly last minute for a birthday Sunday lunch for 12 and was really happy that they could squeeze us in. We all had a great time and Sahal our waiter, whilst busy juggling other tables was able to serve us really well. He was really friendly from the moment we arrived and was able to meet all of our requests (more glasses, drinks, gravy, sauces..). He made it a really enjoyable experience. Food was great too (hot, tasty, good portions especially the kids meals) though I was a little disappointed with the roast potatoes and the children’s roast chicken dinner had a piece of flattened grilled chicken, not the same quality as the adults roasted chicken. Atmosphere was fantastic with the live piano and bustling of relaxed customers and attentive staff. Everyone agreed they would be back again as there’s such a wide ranging menu. Until next time..

Really good tasting food and fast service. Was pleased it arrived earlier than expected 3rd time ordering and can’t find fault with anything

Drinks at bar then had Afternoon Tea. Very busy Saturday afternoon so very crowded and noisy. Overall disappointing. Bar: staff seemed to struggle to find a smile and barman in the suit was very keen on sorting out a till issue rather than helping customers. Barman in uniform did make ok drinks thankfully. Waiting staff: very friendly and smiled a lot especially when apologising for food delay. Food was served 75 mins after table booked time. Food: Ploughman's sandwich seemed to be pure pickle. Heavy fruit cake had no place on this afternoon tea and was returned uneaten. Teas: served about 40 mins before food so went very cold. Found Earl Grey tea unpleasant as mixed with tropical flavours. Plus points: lemon meringue pie and carrot cake were great. Chocolate ganache pud pretty.

It is not the food that males this place, it is vibe and atmosphere it provides

The Quality of the food and service for the price doesn't match.. It was good in the past but recently is not up to standards of before .. Had to wait for a drink for a hour and steak was poorly cooked and thin and very chewy. Customer service was not great and no one apologied for the huge wait for drinks..

Lovely restaurant, I loved the atmosphere and decor. The service was excellent, lovely staff and very attentive. The food was excellent.

Excellent service, starter and main course were very good but very disappointed with the desert my wife and I chose to share a apple and plum crumble which came in what seemed like a cast iron dish, we left most of it because of the very bad taste left in our mouth probably due to it being in a cast iron dish. We pointed this out to the Waitress but nothing was done about it. Disappointing but it won't stop us going back.

Sure! Here’s a shorter version: Amazing Dining Experience We had a fantastic meal at Browns but the highlight was our amazing waiter, Finlay. He was friendly, attentive, and gave great menu recommendations. His service truly made the evening special. Highly recommend and will definitely return!

Browns never disappoints, food was lovely, we had the brunch really great value and the server was really helpful

Maja was great - very attentive!

Brown's...always a good atmosphere and made even better by our very attentive and helpful waitress Maja. The food has slipped a tad in quality since our last visit, some 18 months ago to be fair, but everything else was good. We shall still recommend it and return as customers again.

A great buzzy atmosphere, food, service and good value for money

Where to begin!?…. # A Boxing Day Disaster at Browns Our eagerly anticipated festive celebration turned into a catastrophic experience. Despite meticulous planning and advance booking, Browns' incompetence shattered our holiday cheer. # Initial Missteps 1. *Unrequested extras*: Bottled water and wine glasses appeared uninvited. 2. *Neglected service*: Drinks orders were ignored, necessitating intervention from another waitress. # Culinary Catastrophe 1. *Missing main course*: Braised Blade of Beef, carefully selected months prior, was nonexistent. 2. *Heartless response*: The waiter's nonchalant attitude exacerbated our frustration. # Additional Affronts 1. *Dirty dishes*: Tea cups and fingerprint-smeared plates tainted our dining experience. 2. *Food contamination*: A coughing waiter jeopardized our meal's safety. 3. *Subpar cuisine*: The Festive Turkey meal fell woefully short of expectations. # Devastating Outcome We left hungry, disillusioned and financially unrecompensed, we were refunded our deposit and sent on our merry way. Late afternoon in the fog on Boxing Day, hungry and nowhere to go but back home! Browns' ineptitude ruined our special day and left me in tears. UPDATE: Upon complaining to the Manager a compensation plan was arranged. Its worth noting here that the Manager was very understanding, empathetic and egar to put things right. Which helped pull things back again, althrough we have yet to organise the Compensatory events, but when we do we will update this review and hopefully be able to give back the stars 🌟 and give credit where it's due. 🤞

They had run out of prawn cocktails so had the smoked salmon with a piece of soggy cardboard (rye bread). The main was very rich and sweet. The Xmas pudding was dry with not enough custard. It was the seasonal menu , which I think are very overrated and overpriced.

This place never disappoints. Its the first time I've been for many years and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The roast beef is delicious, the service is great and it has a lovely relaxed atmosphere. It's a little on the pricy side (for me) but well worth it as a treat

Went there on new year's eve. Wow for £100 each the soup I had was on the verge of bland. There was no butter with the dry pieces of bread with the soup. For the main I had a steak. I gotta tell you was one of the worst cut of meat I've ever had. All chewy could of blewn a bubble with it. And the dessert I had Eton mess. You can't really go wrong with cream and meringue. The booking was miss interoperated and almost didn't get a table. I wanted another drink and I had to remind them 2 times 30 mins later before I got it. I noticed the people next to me were going through the same experience. One ordered 2 coffees and in 45 mins still didn't arrive. The service was poor I must say. I can't get over this cost over 100 each. I definitely will not be going back next year. I been going for 3 years straight and I've noticed massive price hike but a huge drop in quality. I feel I'm not the only one with this opinion.
