The cook (everyone called him 'Kevin') was so sweet to the two young women working - it's clear they work well together.

Great atmosphere where they know their regulars well, call them by their name and serve wonderful food.

We were a group of 14 who recently ate at the Brown Bottle. The food was excellent. The ambiance…read moreenjoyable. The service - it could be better. They were busy so that was probably part of it. Let's start with the ambiance. I'm not sure what the building was used for originally. Maybe a hotel? But it is very big, historic, multiple rooms, just an interesting and cool space. All of the food was delicious. For appetizers we had the sauteed mushrooms, meatballs, salsiccia, and garlic bread. You'll want extra garlic bread to soak up the sauces in all of these dishes. Generous portions, delicious flavors, all winners. Our group had many different entrees, and everyone was pleased. Portions were large, so most people ended up with boxes to take home leftovers. We were too full for dessert. My only reservation about Brown Bottle was the service. They were busy. But the servers just seemed inexperienced. They brought all the appetizers but didn't notice we had no plates, so we had to go and ask for those. They also never refilled our waters. Pretty much every glass was empty. When we asked for additional drinks, she brought those, but we never saw any water pitchers, and she only refilled the specific people who asked for additional water. That just seems like something an experience server will notice. Nevertheless, I'd definitely go back. All the dishes our group tried were delicious!

We had a variety of food and everything was delicious. I had chicken Dijon with twice baked potato, and it was yummy. I was so full from the delicious salad with creamy garlic dressing and a piece of bread that I could hardly eat it. It will be great leftovers. Husband had prime rib with twice baked potatoes and he loved it. Others had the salmon which was good with the vegetable mix and another had Greek shrimp. A friend had the prosciutto with fresh mushrooms and it was huge! We all tasted it and ended up taking half of it home. Manicotti was tasty as was the orange roughy. Good food, great service, & a great atmosphere!

Stopped in for breakfast on a Monday morning. Waffles, omelettes, French toast, skillets - lots of choices. We had a western omelette with hash browns and a pancake, vegetarian omelette with hash browns with onions, French toast with sausage links on the side and a vegetable skillet with bacon. Rye toast on the side for the skillet and veggie omelette. Sunny side eggs on the skillet were done perfectly - hash browns soaked up the yolk as expected. French toast was tender. Omelettes are three eggs - chock full of veggies. Overall a good experience. Note - 3.9% service charge for credit cards. We paid cash.

I chose this restaurant based on its great reviews, but unfortunately, my experience was very…read moredisappointing. When I walked in to pick up my order, the employee assembling my food wiped her gloved hands on her pants before continuing to prepare my meal. She also used those same gloves, which were covered in food and sauce, to bag my order. The outside of the takeout containers and bag was greasy, and after seeing how my food was handled, I couldn't get past it. I only ate a few bites before losing my appetite. I also got the pita chips, but they were extremely dark and tasted like old oil, as if they had been overcooked or fried more than once. We had been driving all day and were passing through, so I was really looking forward to a good meal. Instead, I left feeling disappointed and honestly grossed out. I hope the restaurant takes food handling and quality control more seriously because the reviews led me to expect a much better experience.

I got the cevapi and my wife had the roasted chicken with potatoes and vegetables. Complementary beef and noodle soup came out which was delicious in the chilly morning. Not long after our orders came out with fresh baked bread and a Bosnian coleslaw type dish, both fantastic. Bread was soft and flavorful, coleslaw was crisp, refreshing and acidic which paired perfectly with our mains. The Cevapi were plentiful and cooked perfectly, still juicy, the bread soaked up all the juice. And the sauce was a house made sour cream and it goes really well with it. The roasted chicken was perfectly cooked, not overdone but still tender and juicy, and the vegetables went nicely with it. Nothing fancy, just very well done Bosnian home cooking. Can't wait to go back.
