Brownstone

My family dined here for my mother's birthday and we enjoyed our visit with a few exceptions. The main dining area is open with a classy modern feel, but it is noisy. My dad grew frustrated because he couldn't hear us speak from across the table. The temperature of the room was also a little too cool for comfort. The patio would have been perfect! Three out of four of us loved our dishes. The special cut of the day was a buffalo dish that my dad took a risk on, and it was a bust. The meat was over-cooked and much too gristly. The green bean casserole spread with toast is hot and wonderful, and so was the creamy rabbit pasta plate I selected. Mom had the Kobe Cheek pot roast and it's a definite winner (spoon bread = awesome). And the BBQ pork ribs that my sister ate fell off the bone in a tasty juicy mess. Yum. Our final vote for dessert was the strawberry cheesecake/shortcake explosion in a jar. My advice is to get your own instead of sharing. Actually, all the portion sizes here are on the slender side. It sorta makes you wonder if fare price equals fair. All and all we had a pleasant experience. Our server Ashley was very attentive and her knowledgeable delivery of the menu combined well with her warm-natured personality.

We are really glad that this restaurant concept is here in Fort Worth. We enjoyed our meal and the atmosphere was very lovely. The food was outstanding and the produce and quality of ingredients were superb. I agree with our friends, this restaurant deserves another visit! I can't to try more of the menu. Everything we had was excellent.

I found at Brownstone to be way to load. So load I could not hear my girlfriend across the table nor the waiter. Hard to enjoy a dining experience when you have to yell to communicate. I found the food be very average. I had scallops for my starter. They were perfectly cooked but beyond that there was nothing else going on this plate. The pork shoulder was good but the reduction sauce had no flavor at all. The bread pudding was dry and also lacked any flavor. I really wanted to like this restaurant but would have to give it only 2 stars.

We went during restaurant week and didn't really know what to expect. Nice menu that showed off some of their regular-menu highlights. For starters, my husband had the Cheese Pillows and enjoyed them and I had the Smoky Fish pate and thought it was incredible. The vegetables that came with it really made it outstanding. Husband had the pork dish with the cherry sauce and really liked it - fell apart when he cut into it. I had the flat-iron steak and, although it was more rare than the medium-rare ordered, it was very good along with the tangy salad next to it. We ordered the zucchini gratin as an extra side and thought it was delicious. For dessert, the trio of homemade ice creams came were very enjoyable. We would definitely visit again. The service was very gracious and they were very conscientious about keeping our water glasses full. Very nice experience and glad Fort Worth has such a nice restaurant.
