We ate at Browns since we were staying at Nevis Bank Inn. The location of the hotel is a bit of a walk from the town center so we decided to book a dinner reservation at Browns. The food was solid - we ordered linguini, chicken supreme, and another dish I forget. We also got a lovely sticky toffee dessert. Service was fine and my only complaint is that the meal was very expensive for what we ordered. Nearly $25 for a linguini with chicken is a bit much for a dish that is mostly pasta.

We booked to go to Browns Restaurant on Sunday 10th September and are we glad we did :) The staff were so welcoming and professional and nothing was too much trouble. We had 3 perfectly presented and cooked courses that tasted so good and all for a very reasonable cost. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area :)

An enjoyable experience while here in Fort William. The menu has something on it to suit all tastes, of which some of the dishes are quite expensive for what you receive. The staff were pleasant and the service was good. Overall very good. On reflection I would recommend here for a special occasion.

I really don’t get the top reviews of this place. The food was nothing special, just average. The cod and lamb dish we got as main course will not get a special place in our memory, the cod not in the least because of the ridiculously small portion. The espresso I ordered to finish my dinner was just awful. The performance of the restaurant personnel also had a high degree of “Fawlty Towers” : one waitor simply could not remember the wine we and other guests had ordered (he was sent back not less than three times during our visit because he managed repeatedly to bring the wrong wine at the guests’ table). When cleaning one of the tables, the salt var was catapulted through the dining room with a lot of noise. The final act consisted of a very young waitor who was simply not capable of calculating the tip when I gave him the total amount I wanted to pay. “OMG, this device asks me to add a tip in GBP and I just can’t figure out what the difference is between the amount you would like to pay and the initial amount of the bill”. We released the poor guy from his challenge and shared the amount he had to key in with him. Was this an “off-day” of the restaurant? Anyhow, unfortunately this time a dinner experience to quickly forget.

We came to this restaurant twice as we enjoyed it very much, both in terms of courtesy of staff and quality of food. We struggled to find good restaurants in Fort William but this saved us a couple of nights! We highly recommend it to those who want to eat well and, one evening, we were welcomed even after 9pm!

We stayed in Ft. William one night. We were exhausted from travel and tense from journey stresses. This restaurant was a haven of calm. The staff was extremely attentive to my dietary restrictions and accommodated my meal to ensure a great experience.

Out for a meal with my partner. The starter was the best part of the meal, scallops with mini fiskcakes and the ham hough terrine were lovely. We both ordered the rack of lamb for our main and when asked, preffered it be cooked medium. When it arrived and we cut in to it it was apparent it was still raw and on inspection was cold to touch. We sent it back and after 15 minutes were brought a fresh plate. We are not particularly picky people, but unfortunately this version was overcooked. The waiter then informed us, that as an apology, we would get a free desert. I ordered the cheese board and my partner the banana tart tatane. Unfortunately again, the banana served on undercooked puff pastry didn't go down well. The cheese board was nice although the chutney was off, had a slimy look to it and tasted like sick I actually told the waiter to check it was in date. Very disappointed, and will not be back which is a shame. We are locals and this was a treat night out for our anniversary. Sorry to report that the best part of the meal was the wine.

I am now writing a review on our disappointing evening at Browns in August 2021. Initially it took 15 minutes to be served after being seated. When our drinks arrived after a further 10 minutes, my pint of beer was flat. I decided to put up with it but in reflection I should have sent it back. We were sat directly under the air conditioning unit which was blowing out freezing cold air and was not comfortable to sit in. My partner had to keep her jacket on for the entire duration of our visit. We ordered a sirloin steak medium/well done and when it arrived it was extremely rare and blood surrounded the plate when it was cut into. Instead of staff coming to check if everything was alright, we were the ones who had to grab staff attention to raise the issue. To be fair the staff and chef apologised and cooked us another steak while keeping our other food warm. When the food arrived back it was much better. We felt as though the servers were lovely, very apologetic and did attend to our problems, however we had to wait for long periods of time between them coming to the table. We went out for a meal the following evening in another restaurant in Fort William which came to less then half the price of our meal at Browns and the standard was far higher so I would recommend going elsewhere if considering where to eat in Fort William. I wrote to Browns on 30/08/21 on the feedback section of their website to raise my concerns privately however received no response from them. I feel as though I have given Browns plenty of time to contact me to discuss and rectify my concerns although they obviously feel as though this is not necessary. Poor customer service.

Booked this restaurant for a birthday treat. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The menu offers a wide range of tempting dishes. The food was sublime we will cerainly be going back! The service was efficient and discreet, while the decor is smart without being over the top. We particularly appreciated the calm and quiet ambiance - no noise from the road, no intrusive music. It is quite expensive but you certainly get what you pay for.

Wow! We just had dinner there, an amazing find. The presentation and quality of the food was on a par with any we had on our travels but at local prices. I wouldn't have been surprised if the bill had been ÂŁ60 more. The staff were very friendly and helpful without being intrusive and were very knowledgeable about the local produce. The standard of quality, food, and service was perfect. Go there if you are in or near Fort William.

Browns has an extensive menu making it hard to choose. The food was high quality, beautifully cooked and served in a warm and friendly environment. I would definitely recommend a visit if you're in the Fort William area.

Pleasant surroundings and a comfortable atmosphere, well attended to by the polite staff. We enjoyed a lovely meal of pork loin for myself and sea bass for my wife which were both ample portions, beautifully cooked and presented. We would recommend you eat here if in Fort William and will revisit given the opportunity

Another great meal and not disappointed. Tom Yum prawn tails fantastic flavour and good size portion. 12oz sirloin steak & chips cooked perfectly (medium rare) also duck and fish of the day "hake" first class, all in all a great family meal out. All the staff were very attentive & friendly. Highly recommend. Booking a table 6pm-6.30pm great to miss the rush

My cousin was staying at the hotel, so we suggested trying the restaurant as we had just walked halfway up Big Ben.... they were fully booked but offered us an early sitting but we were limited to 2 hours which was plenty for a bottle of wine & a mains..... Menu is adequate as anything larger would make choosing harder! I had the seafood platter & my wife had the 'special' of Langoustines, fresh from Loch Linnhe, superb quality & excellent size portions. Service was impeccable so we decided to rebook 2 days later & again the food & service did not disappoint. Highly recommended. Thank you for looking after us.

We came here as the last dinner of our 2 weeks holiday. It turns out to be the first review that I write about Meals during the holiday. It is attached to a proper hotel, offering a wide range of menu. Serving staff behaves as those in a high class restaurant. Tables are set with substantial distance. I am unsure if it is usual or as fully respecting the rules of social distancing. We ordered mussels and chicken parfait as starters. We are very fond of mussels and this is the best we have ever had. The quality of the mussel is a rare find and it came in a big portion, unique sauce and is inexpensively priced. The other dish was very good too. We ordered for each of us a seafood platter, which is of satisfying portion. All dishes are surprisingly priced at most at the medium range of moderately priced restaurants. Together with a glass of wine my wife ordered, it ended up with a bill less than 60. I believe we would return for most evenings of our next visit to Fort William to try out other dishes.
