   We really enjoyed our meal here. I thought the menu was a bit limited, but the food was great. It was very quiet for a Saturday night which was a shame.

   Hadn’t eaten here for a while but it never ceases to please. My wife had the fish of the day that she described as lovely and I had the minute steak. Only £22 for a steak which is less than most pubs! Great value for money!

   We had dinner here twice and it was wonderful . Michele was our server and she terrific , food delicious . It’s upscale in a cozy warm setting …. We had the beef bourgignon which was served with mashies and was a winner . There was a fresh fish option also . You will not be disappointed .

   We visited Browns on Thursday the 29th August, we booked well in advance on account of it being Dartmouth Regatta week, so fully expected such a well know bistro to be very busy for our 7:30pm booking. It was not. The greeting by the staff was very good and friendly, and helpful. We had a choice of which table to use, there was only one other person in the bistro at this time! The menu itself had a fair few selections covering all the usual options of (Vg) (VGO) etc. My wife did not want a starter and I chose the Cider and honey glazed Chorizo with sourdough (GFO) / £9. which was OK but the sourdough was just two small pieces, and the cider flavour did not come through at all because of the honey. My wife selected the fish of the day, a beautiful piece of filleted sea bass, which she thoroughly enjoyed, so thank you for that. I opted for Minute Steak (2x4oz) / £22 with garlic butter or peppercorn sauce, French fries, roasted cherry vine tomatoes and mixed leaf salad. Sadly this was a bit of a let down, the steak although medium to rare in order to make sure it was not tough did not come off, also it was quite lacking in steak flavour, it was covered in something that was pale and watery, which I assumed was supposed to be the sauce, or perhaps the chef forgot to put the sauce on it who knows? Why serve fries in a supposedly upmarket bistro? They go cold as soon as you look at them, and these were slightly overcooked and hard. The dessert section consists of mainly a chocolate brownie or ice cream variations, not a very enterprising selection. All in all I can see why this establishment was not rammed to the gunnels on what is probably one of the busiest weeks of the year for the town of Dartmouth. The waitress was very polite and friendly and it was for that reason only that we left a tip. We will not be returning.

   Only marked down because there were few other customers so the atmosphere was a little lacking, but otherwise excellent

   We had a wonderful meal and drinks here. Beautiful decor and ambience, I had the fish special of the day which was delicious and had great presentation. Staff are friendly and chatty and very helpful with any dietary requirements too. Good selection of local drinks options. 5 stars!

   We really enjoyed our dinner at Brown's. We decided to forego a starter and have nibbles instead. These consisted of sourdough bread, really good olives, and some very nice oil and salt on the side. We enjoyed these very much. I had the special which was a provencal stew with hake, and it really was excellent. The fish was extremely fresh and the flavour of the broth was lovely. It came with sauted potatoes and green beans on the side. Every element was delicious. My husband had a minute steak, very good chips, and a side salad. He enjoyed his meal very much as well. Service was excellent and the environment quiet and relaxing. Highly recommended.

    Very disappointed with our meal. We had Jougons of Fish , which were very dry, obviously overcooked, served with tons of French fries and what can only be described as, a ramekin dish full of hot water with peas in. You had to strain the peas out with your fork. Certainly not value for the prices charged
