Brownstone

I had the best time at Brownstone in Back Bay! Our server Tori, was lovely and knew exactly what wine to bring us. The ambiance is old fashioned, but has TVs so it's the perfect spot to have some food and watch a game. We got the Wednesday/Thursday night date night special. The is an app, 2 entrees, a dessert, and a bottle of wine for 2 people for $90. Such a good deal! We got the Gianni Flatbread to start. They were able to do half cheese, half no cheese because I'm dairy free. This was my favorite thing! I could have eaten three more! I got the Jamaican Jerk Salomon for my entree- this was amazing. I am going to start seasoning my salmon this way at home, everyone needs to go to Brownstone and try this. I can't go back to regular salon. For dessert, they brought me off-menu sorbet since I'm dairy free! So good! Perfect way to end the night! There's also meter parking out front, that may be hard to get. I recommend Ubering in.

I think about this restaurant every time I eat brunch somewhere. THAT is how good the French toast sticks are. They are incredibly crispy and dip-able and perfectly paired with bacon. The service is great, restaurant is beautiful, but the food (or specifically that food) is what keeps me coming back.

Came in for dinner on a Friday for a fried chicken deal they are doing on Fridays. I liked the inside, it had a nice vibe to it. Our waitress was super attentive and friendly. I liked the French 75 but I liked the Peach tea cocktail and strawberry margarita more. The chicken sandwich looks unassuming but it was honestly really good. It had a soft bun, the chicken has a sweet chili sauce on it so it was different and a nice change from all the overly spicy chicken sandwiches out there. I was not a fan of the fries at all honestly. The fried chicken plate was good especially for only $15. The tenders were good and the cole slaw was great, and I loved the biscuit but did not love the Mac and cheese. Will def be back for their fried chicken Fridays

I came in with my friend. The service was very fast and the staff was friendly. We got the AGLIO OLIO and FRENCH TOAST STIX. I recommend the drink selection. We got a spiked cold brew coffee and an espresso martini which were both very good. The ambiance reminds me of a pub and ideally for a large party as well as diners of two.

Solid 4.5 starsCame here for brunch on a Sunday and was seated right away, which is not always the case for Sunday brunch in Boston. I ordered a mimosa and the apple cider donut holes to start. The mimosa was not too orange juice forward which I appreciated and the donut holes were fresh and addictive and came with sweet and cinnamony dipping sauce! For brunch, I got the classic eggs Benedict. Not the absolute best I've had but honestly pretty darn good. Overall, you cannot beat the price at Brownstone. $13 mimosas and $16 for a pretty sizable and filling eggs Benedict is a steal in Boston. I will definitely be back.Service: 5/5Food: 4.5/5Ambience: 4/5

I had an excellent brunch experience at Brownstone this fine Sunday. This restaurant is located within walking distance of the historic shopping district, Newbury Street. My friend and I went to Brownstone before an afternoon of shopping. Food: I ordered the steak and eggs bowl, minus the home fries. I ordered the steak medium -- it was cooked exactly to my liking. I also had the eggs poached, and it was a nice way to have the steak and eggs along with my whole wheat toast. The food was a bit underseasoned (salt and pepper) but I actually prefer that -- definitely better than overly seasoned, plus the tables have salt and pepper shakers on them! Service: I think my server was Shannon today -- wow. A superb staffperson! So kind, and genuinely friendly and helpful. She took her time explaining to me the different options for eggs (scrambled, over easy/medium/hard, poached)! The food also came out so quickly without compromise on the flavor/presentation! Ambiance: I really enjoyed the ambiance of this establishment. It's casual enough to wear athleisure to, but it's still a sit-down restaurant. The music was great today (mainly 2K music playing in the background), and there were a mix of patrons (young, old, different backgrounds!). I 100% would suggest Brownstone to others for brunch, and I'd return again myself.

Grabbed a drink and dinner here last nite. It was very slow which surprised me cuz I think it's decent all around. Sat at the bar and had good service, a good bourbon cocktail and amazing steak sandwich w chimmichuri sauce (forgot to take a pic) and decent fries. Friend got a huge salad and a beer. It was a nice time.

The service was amazing, and the restaurant was adorable. The serving size is quite large. The food was quite delicious. For drinks, we got the Mimosa and the baby shark. The baby shark is STRONG, but it's so cute. For food, we got the Monte cristo, which is a French toast sandwich. For those who love savory sweet, it totally hits the spot and avocado toast. I think the avocado toast here is so swell worth. The pepper jam is amazing, and the generous with the spread. If I can critique one thing, it's the home fries. I wish it was less messy looking. It's feels like it's a little messy and soft. I would love for some crunch or crisp part for home fries. Honestly, I really enjoy this brunch place. I would recommend

A Backbay must go. After a quick Apple Maps look around, I found Brownstone. Located right by Backbay Station on The Orange line, I found myself with some extra time before meeting up with friends. I had an excellent experience. Right out of work and needing to decompress I sat at the bar and was shortly greeted by the bartender Paul who gave great recommendations. Got an Empress Gin and Tonic...nothing swankier than good presentation in a glass. And after some debate decided on Mediterranean Cobbs salad which hit the spot. Large portions properly priced and delicious. While they have a small menu, I suspect after my experience with these recommendations, that the other options must be a foodies delight.I'll be going back for sure.

I have been going here for years and let me tell you, the owner seems to suffer from delusions of how to run a business. The last two Game and the current GM absolutely do not know what they are doing. I went on a Saturday night, they are dead inside except to bar. I ask to watch the game and the bartender puts it on for me, the. The GM turns off all the lights giving very creepy club vibes and turns off the dang TV in the middle of the third quarter!! Definitely got a misogynistic vibe because it was a women's basketball game and he said it wasn't important which was just rude. I don't know how this place has gone so far downhill but when you have another new manager who is passing around the iPad to all his little friends at the bar you didn't hire a professional. His friends played terrible club music and nobody could hear what was going on---completely wrong vibe for this place. It use to be a nice local bar where you could hang your hat after work and enjoy yourself but definitely not anymore. After many years, I will not be back. The drinks are good, the management is continually terrible.
