Reviews for The Brown Bottle in Waterloo, IA
Disappointed in our experience at the Brown Bottle Waterloo. The entrance to the building had a foul smell like marijuana. The ... man at the hostess desk was rude. The waitress was very good, food was fine. Thought the bread liners were a little cheaplooking, black and white checker. Not high on my list to return. Read more
Service was poor, my chicken Marcel was dry and the chicken breast was small, salad was served on a plate was all over the... table trying to cute it up, so small. Was not good for the price Read more
We were looking forward to a nice dinner with friends. Waiter was very attentive and food was good. But, the special as listed... when we arrived AND specified by our waiter was NOT honored. In addition when we called it to their attention, we were VERYrudely criticized by the person in charge!!! Be wary! We will not be back!! Drove 11/2 hours only to be mistreated! Read more
Unfortunately this was a sad experience. We were seated in an area that had people in it initially but by the time we got our... food we were alone. We got our shrimp cocktail before we got our drinks, which we had to remind our waitress about our drinks. When we got our drinks they were both warm. We waited and waited and waited for the salad and it never came. We got ourdinners which were good, but had to ask our waitress for our salads to go. I am not sure what preoccupied our waitress fromreasonable service but she cheated herself out of a 30 percent tip. Just ask any server at Lark brewing ???? Read more
Ate there for the first time yesterday and it has to be one of the best restaurants I?ve ever been to. The service was... excellent, food came quickly. Our waiter was phenomenal. We got really big portions and they added extra sauce for reheating.Even the water was good. 10/10 would recommend this place! Read more
We got carry out seafood lasagne for 8 and a pan of salad. The lasagne was in a cardboard box which helped keep it warm, but... it leaked all over my lap and car seat. I was holding it at a bit of an angle in bucket seats but didn?t expect it to be sowatery. It did taste good but would be even better if it was held together by a thick sauce. As it was, it was noodles,seafood with cheese on top. The salad was nothing special but the recommended house made ranch dressing was delicious. Thefood was ready right on time and we were not offered a receipt. Read more
Beautiful decor, huge servings! A bit pricey and the layers of flavors are all there, but they haven't melded. Our party of... four agreed none of us would order our dish if we visited again. Can't quite out my finger on what's missing??? Read more
Delicious food! Great service, thank you Cyrus. Cool atmosphere. Appetizers and meal were amazing. We got mushrooms, spinach... artichoke dip, and bruschetta. Ravioli for supper! The building itself is gorgeous as well. Read more
