I'd never been to Brown's in Leeds before but i had heard great things about it. Took mum there for…read moreher birthday and was pleasantly surprised it was relatively quiet on a damp Thursday night.
Nice selection of drinks at the huge bar including daily cocktails and specials, so we grabbed our drinks and headed to one of the many high top tables. The table we sat at had a couple of coffee cups, a paid check and was a little dirty, however the server came over and took the check. Just the check. I hoped she would have taken the dirty cups etc but didn't, eventually i picked them up and placed them on an open table next to us.
Had a few drinks at the table, thought someone might have come over for table service, but i had to go to the bar each time, maybe that's the rule, not sure but no big deal.
Spoke to one of the hostess' and got seated for dinner right away, as i mentioned it was pretty quiet.
Beautiful dining area, huge windows that let in lots of natural light, tables are a little close to each other but that's the norm these days in any big city, so no worries.
Our server was Bella and she was outstanding, very personable and efficient. My party ordered burgers and i ordered the prawn and crab linguini, to be honest, mine was just ok, very bland and way too much pesto for me and not enough crab. The burgers got rave reviews, home made, a little over cooked for my liking but i don't recall a temperature being offered, again, that might be the norm, personally i prefer a little more on the medium side, they came with great looking chips (fries) some regular and some people ordered the chunky ones, all looked terrific, and we ordered a side of onion rings that looked hand cut and perfectly cooked.
Prices were about what you'd expect in a big city, about £12 for the burgers so not a bad deal.
The place is really beautiful, it has a relaxed atmosphere, yet its also classy, so great job!
