Reviews for Brown Hound Downtown in Rochester, NY

Some of the best food I have had in years! The beef tenderloin was EXCEPTIONAL - cooked to a perfect rare for me, and medium... rare or well-done for others! There was a pasta with wild mushrooms dish that was extraordinary!! I will go to Good Luck inthe hopes that it will be on their menu!! All the food was fabulous from appetizers (shrimp was the highlight) to desserts!! Bartenders and servers were also remarkable - polite, professional, non-intrusive, and pleasant. I would HIGHLY recommend thisvenue for any private party. Read more

The best Chicken and Waffles I’ve had in Rochester! The chicken was crispy and flavorful . The waffle was a sweet Belgian... waffle. I liked the strawberry hot sauce for the chicken as well. Very good customer service Read more

The Brown Hound has a lovely atmosphere and the staff was so attentive and welcoming! We went for brunch this Saturday and there... was even a band playing live music that was very enjoyable!! However I didn't think the food was that great - it honestlyreminded me of airplane food. The frittata was alright, but most of the meal consisted of the home fries that were bland anddry. And I was disappointed by the side of fruit, which reminded me that even though the restaurant looks so nice, it's stilljust museum food. HOWEVER I watched the servers bringing out food to the tables downstairs and some of the other meals lookedway better! Maybe I just ordered the "wrong" thing! If I came again I would definitely try the french toast which looked reallyspecial. I very much enjoyed the atmosphere but overall I thought the food was rather bland. Read more

Went out for brunch for the first time here with two friends. Very cute upstairs space, and the staff was super nice. I ordered... the carnivore frittata which comes with home fries and fresh fruit - it was so good, and kept me full the rest of the day! Wealso ordered a mimosa carafe to split between 3 of us, and it was the perfect amount. I would definitely come back! Read more

What a surprise of a treat to find this place in the MAG (Memorial Art Gallery) in Rochester. It is such a great venue with the... influence of art and modern chic. Perfect for brunch. For starters we had a charcuterie board and some lobster bisque. By theway the coffee is excellent. Then we had the carnivore frittata and the shrimp and grits with 2 eggs. So delicious. Theportions are generous. Almost too generous. I thought the service was great and the venue promotes great get-togethers. Read more
