Promptly seated (6:15 reservation). Waitress was prompt and attentive. The pre-dinner drinks took longer than they have, about a 15 minute wait. Food served hot and was good. The gingerbread bread pudding was delicious. The ambience was very nice and the free 2 hour valet parking was nice.

Two of us split the Petite Hot Brown. We also had the smoked duck appetizer and an order of the bourbon fries. Food was delicious. The Hot Brown was pure indulgent comfort food. The duck was spectacular. Lovely atmosphere. A beautiful place for a quiet dinner with old world ambience. Will definitely return the next time I travel to Louisville.

We had “the Brown “ and scallops and both dished were excepcional. Our waiter was attentive and the atmosphere breathtaking. The only negative was the display of wall televisions.

This was not our best experience at the Brown Hotel. We had to ask for plates for our bread, spoons for our soup, and a knife for my steak. The soup tasted great but we both found many hard pieces of bay leaves in it. When my filet arrived it was barely warm, beyond the medium rare I requested, and over salted. I had requested a Merlot to go with my steak but it never arrived, even after reminding a server that we had ordered it. They did discount our tab because we were “celebrating an anniversary” (not because of the poor service and food issues), but I seriously doubt we will ever go back.
