Browns - London Mayfair

Excellent food value for money. Beautiful place for casual or a slight special event. Very poor service. Waitress is not attentive even though it’s not busy.

Love the place. Felt unusually quiet on that Friday night, but the service was top, and the food and drinks lovely.

Fantastic for Mayfair to be able to have a really good and reasonably priced lunch in good surroundings and draft beers, a bar and not a bad and reasonably priced wine list. Our server from Romania absolutely charming too. We had a great time.

There is a wine on the menu that is absolutely terrible--a bitter, acidic Cabernet S. The waitress did not let us taste the wine before hand, instead pouring two overly glasses and then plonked them down in front of us and walked away. When we let her know that it really wasn't to our taste and we'd have a beer instead, it was a huge production, grilling us on our knowledge of wine, bringing the glasses to the barman to taste, returning with the barman's report that it wasn't the wine that was bad but our own palates, sniffing and swirling the wine and noting to us that it looks delicious to her. It was absurd and funny, but a bit much and since it happened at the beginning of the meal, the event sort of ruined the experience.

We were in a bit of a rush but the cocktails we ordered and the food came out so quickly. Our waitress was really sweet and friendly. The food was amazing and well presented and good value. It is a really comfortable ambiance, with a busy drinks area when you walk in and a slightly separate restaurant but overall such a good buzz.
