We ate at Browns Bistro on sat night past and the food and service was fantastic. We ate off the early bird menu which gave us plenty of choice and it was reasonably priced. Good selection of wines, we will definitely be back

I went with my wife and kid and it was great. Nice simple food and we loved it. It was busy that night which was good to see.
