We visited on my birthday eve after a concert last Saturday night and the staff were amazing, even playing our requested music at midnight as it became my 50th birthday and delivering a specific cocktail to our table and wishing me a very happy birthday. I can not thank them enough. Thank you Browns of cambridge, you made us feel very welcome.

We really enjoyed our food

The staff were lovely, very helpful and polite

Lovely setting

We are from Lowestoft but will visit again when in Cambridge

Very welcoming and staff very friendly x excellent service and food.

The young Irish girl that served me was fantastic, really enjoyed the food and service, was absolutely 5*. The fish pie was fab.

The food was amazing (I had the slow cooked salted pork belly) and every bite was delicious. We were served very quickly and we didn't have to wait very long at all for our food to arrive. The staff were very polite and professional. Arguably one of the best things was the pianist! A nice variety of music to accompany the meal.

Spent Easter Saturday here for lunch with my wife and friends. Had a great meal. Served by a charming and polite young lady called Eva. 10 out of 10.

Since its refurb earlier this year, Browns continues to be a very elegant and relaxed way to dine in Cambridge. For us, this will be our regular Saturday morning breakfast haunt, get there early and you can enjoy a peaceful atmosphere whilst enjoying (in my opinion) the best breakfasts in Cambridge.

Simply brilliant food and staff.

Highly recommended.

Thank you

Relaxed atmosphere, lovely decor. Friendly service, made us feel special. Definitely coming back. �

Popped my lobster cherry. It was delicious �� also the staff were extremely friendly and inviting.

One of the best restaurants I’ve been to 👍🏻 Amazing food the stake we had was just fantastic 😃

My boyfriend booked us a table Friday night, and although it was SUPER busy the service was brilliant and so lovely and all came in such good time. I couldn't finish the mushroom tagliatelle (but it was lush). Would definitely recommend- even just for some drinks!

Had a wonderful breakfast this morning with my wife before going to the fitzwilliam muesem. Young waiter was fantastic and very accomodating and food was exceptional. I definatly would recommend browns!

Great venue with fabulous food. Our waitress was really helpful and the piano player an added bonus.

Fabulous food, good service and lovely, clean surroundings. Lovely, attentive waitress. Cocktails a bit on the weak side though.

Excellent food, friendly and polite service and a wide choice of food available.

Amazing food in a lovely building.

Visited with family to have dinner after attending a graduation. Service was good as was the food. Would definitely revisit

Lovely surroundings and atmosphere. Welcomed us as a large biker group which is rather unusual. People seem to think we only want to eat in greasy spoons ! Service was friendly. Crushed avocado in my vegetarian breakfast worked for me.

Everything fine, accept it seemed the background music was a little bit loud, cannot remember it being so loud on previous visits.

Are here on Saturday the 25/11 food was very good couldn't complain between us we had pulled beef croquettes which where nice and baked Camembert others had prawn cocktail which we all enjoyed. Mains I had a burger it was ok chips where nice, others had lobster risotto which was great very nice and value for money (people complain about the price it's lobster for Christ sake it's expensive!!) and others had the half chicken which they enjoyed they just didn't like the sauce with it which was a very rich jus I've forgotten what it was called on the menu. Dessert wise we had all different things my only criticism is the salted caramel profiteroles they where very salty and I'm a salt fanatic it was a little too much but I wouldn't let it spoil a lovely evening our server was wonderful I've forgotten her name but I said to the manager as we left that she was very good at the end of our meal they did add service charge but if your not happy with it you can ask for it to be removed like I did! and then I just gave our server a much bigger tip as she deserved it people feel embarrassed asking for things like that as for me I work in the food industry so it doesn't bother me at all asking anything as long as it's polite I would go to browns again happily as food was good and service was second to none in no way could I fault our server so I'd happily return.

A lovely atmosphere in Browns last night, 22 June.

The staff are very professional yet friendly.

We requested the pianist play happy birthday, he did, and they placed balloons on the table for our special occasion.



The food was tasty but a tad over priced.

I will be returning for another special occasion.

I couldn’t afford to pop in for a random lunch or evening meal although I’d love to.

Thank you for a great experience Browns.

I recommended you today when I was at Newmarket Races.

Went here last night for our wedding anniversary

The food was Good....although they did mess up my wife's main dish & I was left eating on my own...... we also felt very rushed and not very private, like sitting in a school canteen or back street Cafe.

The mains we nothing like explained on the menu with items missing , when we complained they were eventually brought out with an apology but very late as we had finished ...chips we very rubbery too..

We will not be returning to Browns at Cambridge

We were not that impressed with the lack of choice of a table as the restaurant was half empty the time we were there. Actually choice is the wrong word as there wasn't a choice. But once we ordered the food was good and the waitress was very nice. The front of house could take a lesson from the waiting staff. Nice restaurant very art nouveau. Cocktails were good too.

It is a lovely place to go, we had booked it for my friends 50th Birthday for Saturday 4th Aug and there were 16 of us and tables booked for 3 pm. We almost waited an hour for the afternoon tea to arrive. Then some of the bread on the sandwiches were abit dry, the Carrot cake rubbery and hard to chew. The rest was lovely. They bring over two bottles of Prosecco to compensate for the lateness of our afternoon tea arriving at the table. But it just took the edge of the afternoon for my friends 🎂50th Birthday. Sharon Minter.

Had afternoon tea the tea was only just warm. Cakes ok mini rolls were ok scones were miniature size id expect a full size scone . Was ok for the price but wouldn't go back for afternoon tea .

Great atmosphere but the service needs working on.

Afternoon tea

Sandwiches were OK, the cakes were lovely but scones were off and really hard.

Very disappointing!

We had not reserved a table and went in on a busy Saturday lunch time asking for a table for 6. We were told one could be found in a few minutes. It would have been better if they had politely said no since they were clearly too busy and just cramming people in. 35 mins later we were shown to a table and we were served our food an hour and 5 mins after we were told we could be seated within a few minutes. Waiter was pleasant and polite and doing his best but clearly let down by slow kitchen . Food when it did arrive was nothing special and not piping hot. Second time we have been there and same problem with chaotic delivery from kitchen on last occasion. Will not be returning

Sorry but I don't like the new decor. Yellow is the colour for Browns whether it is in Brighton,Oxford or Cambridge. Our meal on Sat was to celebrate my wife's birthday and was rather a let down. We went straight for the mains and were surprised how quickly they appeared. My chips were superb but the fish had seen better days and the peas were cold. My wife's lobster risotto was very ordinary,small and over priced. We both chose ice cream and wanted 2 vanilla and 1 honeycomb. We got 3 vanilla. To compound matters we were charged an extra £1 for the honeycomb ! This charge was removed after I complained but only at the end of the bill which meant that the service charge was applied to the wrong amount. Yes I know it's only 10p but ..... We did have a fantastic English sparkling wine which I would urge people to try.

Positive - Food was ok, if a little overpriced for the quality.

Reason for rating - Staff were dire, rude and pushy, didn’t inform you that the chip basket was hotter than the surface of the sun so you burnt your hands when touching it (literally, still have the mark) and the wait staff actually made you want to leave. Wouldn’t go back and wouldn’t recommend anyone to try it, there is much better in the locality.

Great food terrible service a glass was dropped on my dad by the waiter it took him at least 20 minutes to clean the glass. Also problems with the bill and food coming out at different times .

Extremely slow. Booked for afternoon tea waited over an hour to be brought a pot of tea. The tea was cold by the time the food arrived. Very sloppy looking & not too appetizing & with chipped pots of cream! Very short staffed. Wouldn't return. Such a shame as once upon was 'The place to be'.

We were bought Champagne afternoon tea as a gift. We pre booked but yet weren't asked for our name. Taken to a table & given menus when we stared we were having afternoon tea! The tea was luke warm, and had to ask for more. The champagne, cakes and mini brioche rolls were good. We were then asked to pay a service charge and the service was extremely poor No one checked on us. Not impressed when we had been given the experience as a gift, wouldn't recommend

We went to Browns Restaurant Cambridge yesterday (10.9.17) to celebrate my autistic son's 18th birthday. Both my sons ordered a beefburger from the adult menu but the waiter brought one from kids menu (much to my 8 year old's disappointment, he has a big apetite!). An honest mistake which the waiter rectified reasonably quickly. My wife ordered a tomato risotto which when it arrived was inedible. It tasted like polystyrene with the flavour removed! The rice was quite dry and not creamy like it should be. A couple of slices of raw tasteless tomato had been thrown on top of the rice, no doubt to ensure that it could be called a tomato risotto and they couldn't be sued for misrepresentation. The mâitre'd apologised and offered anything on the menu as a replacement, my wife opted for fish & chips which duly arrived. I had ordered the sea-bass with two side dishes, chips with parmasan and some fried mushrooms. The absolutely tiny sea-bass arrived but no side dishes. After waiting 5 minutes I called the waiter over and explained the situation. He apologised and said he had forgotten to include the 'sides' on the order! The waiter re-ordered the sides. I then thought to myself should I eat my sea-bass or wait for the sides? I did the former, thank god, as I then had to wait an interminal half hour before the rest of my main course arrived. I devoured my sea-bass (the size of a spratt) within a couple of minutes, underneath I found one small new potato and three small segments of an infitnitessimal squid's tentacle in an over-salted sauce. I had, by this time given up the will to live. It's not often you are given the task of eating chips on their own, they really would have tasted better accompanied by some fish. Likewise with the field mushrooms, such a shame. My wife decided to drown her sorrows with a beautiful looking raspberry mojito. It was not to be. After one gulp the sudden realisation that a vital ingredient had gone AWOL. I made representations to the mâitre'd when again he apologised and went off to make another one but this time adding some sugar syrup. It was better but nothing wow.



The celebration was ruined by poor food/cooking and a failure to check the order. The staff tried to put things right by offering a couple of free coffees and not charging for my wife's fish & chips but the meal will always be remembered for the faults and not the food.



We will NEVER visit this restaurant again...EVER!

Very slow service. Not the Browns it used to be. Lots of people standing around talking it was about 30mins before we got offered a drink. Then to top is all service charge with the bill

Rude staff food burned to inedible won’t go back !

Had my 50th Birthday celebration destroyed here last night...

The table had been booked for at least 10 days (We came back from Paris to be here for 8pm) but when we arrived there wasn't a table available.

I was offered a free glass of prosecco as compensation (nothing was offered to any of our other guests) But after waiting for between 20-30 minutes for that to arrive the waiter proceeded to drop the glass onto the table we'd managed to find in the overcrowded bar covering me in prosecco and broken glass! And that was before we'd even sat down. Things went from bad to worse we were finally seated an hour after arriving and several complaints, but had to wait ANOTHER 15 minutes before anyone took our order, starters took another 30 minutes to arrive, (total 1 hour and 45 mins after arriving at the restaurant we finally got our starters) and that set the tone for the whole evening, my son was squashed half to death by the party sitting behind us, who although friendly and pleasant were way too close for comfort (and also disgusted at the service they were receiving). We waited too long for our main course, we waited too long for drinks. By the time the waiter took our dessert order some choices were unavailable, when my profiteroles finally arrived a birthday candle had been rammed directly into one of the profiteroles, no candle holder, just the waxy candle rammed straight into the food! No ceremony. No singing. No thought!

3 hours after arriving we couldn't wait to leave.

Quite categorically the WORST Birthday meal EVER.

Don't have the Scones,they are like sad ' tiny' pebbles' very disappointing!

We visited on my birthday eve after a concert last Saturday night and the staff were amazing, even playing our requested music at midnight as it became my 50th birthday and delivering a specific cocktail to our table and wishing me a very happy birthday.

Lovely surroundings and atmosphere. Welcomed us as a large biker group which is rather unusual. People seem to think we only want to eat in greasy spoons ! Service was friendly. Crushed avocado in my vegetarian breakfast worked for me.

Everything fine, accept it seemed the background music was a little bit loud, cannot remember it being so loud on previous visits.

Are here on Saturday the 25/11 food was very good couldn't complain between us we had pulled beef croquettes which where nice and baked Camembert others had prawn cocktail which we all enjoyed. Mains I had a burger it was ok chips where nice, others had lobster risotto which was great very nice and value for money (people complain about the price it's lobster for Christ sake it's expensive!!) and others had the half chicken which they enjoyed they just didn't like the sauce with it which was a very rich jus I've forgotten what it was called on the menu. Dessert wise we had all different things my only criticism is the salted caramel profiteroles they where very salty and I'm a salt fanatic it was a little too much but I wouldn't let it spoil a lovely evening our server was wonderful I've forgotten her name but I said to the manager as we left that she was very good at the end of our meal they did add service charge but if your not happy with it you can ask for it to be removed like I did! and then I just gave our server a much bigger tip as she deserved it people feel embarrassed asking for things like that as for me I work in the food industry so it doesn't bother me at all asking anything as long as it's polite I would go to browns again happily as food was good and service was second to none in no way could I fault our server so I'd happily return.

A lovely atmosphere in Browns last night, 22 June.

The staff are very professional yet friendly.

We requested the pianist play happy birthday, he did, and they placed balloons on the table for our special occasion.



The food was tasty but a tad over priced.

I will be returning for another special occasion.

I couldn’t afford to pop in for a random lunch or evening meal although I’d love to.

Thank you for a great experience Browns.

I recommended you today when I was at Newmarket Races.

Went here last night for our wedding anniversary

The food was Good....although they did mess up my wife's main dish & I was left eating on my own...... we also felt very rushed and not very private, like sitting in a school canteen or back street Cafe.

The mains we nothing like explained on the menu with items missing , when we complained they were eventually brought out with an apology but very late as we had finished ...chips we very rubbery too..

We will not be returning to Browns at Cambridge

We were not that impressed with the lack of choice of a table as the restaurant was half empty the time we were there. Actually choice is the wrong word as there wasn't a choice. But once we ordered the food was good and the waitress was very nice. The front of house could take a lesson from the waiting staff. Nice restaurant very art nouveau. Cocktails were good too.

It is a lovely place to go, we had booked it for my friends 50th Birthday for Saturday 4th Aug and there were 16 of us and tables booked for 3 pm. We almost waited an hour for the afternoon tea to arrive. Then some of the bread on the sandwiches were abit dry, the Carrot cake rubbery and hard to chew. The rest was lovely. They bring over two bottles of Prosecco to compensate for the lateness of our afternoon tea arriving at the table. But it just took the edge of the afternoon for my friends 🎂50th Birthday.

Had afternoon tea the tea was only just warm. Cakes ok mini rolls were ok scones were miniature size id expect a full size scone . Was ok for the price but wouldn't go back for afternoon tea .

Great atmosphere but the service needs working on.

Afternoon tea

Sandwiches were OK, the cakes were lovely but scones were off and really hard.

Very disappointing!

We had not reserved a table and went in on a busy Saturday lunch time asking for a table for 6. We were told one could be found in a few minutes. It would have been better if they had politely said no since they were clearly too busy and just cramming people in. 35 mins later we were shown to a table and we were served our food an hour and 5 mins after we were told we could be seated within a few minutes. Waiter was pleasant and polite and doing his best but clearly let down by slow kitchen . Food when it did arrive was nothing special and not piping hot. Second time we have been there and same problem with chaotic delivery from kitchen on last occasion. Will not be returning

Sorry but I don't like the new decor. Yellow is the colour for Browns whether it is in Brighton,Oxford or Cambridge. Our meal on Sat was to celebrate my wife's birthday and was rather a let down. We went straight for the mains and were surprised how quickly they appeared. My chips were superb but the fish had seen better days and the peas were cold. My wife's lobster risotto was very ordinary,small and over priced. We both chose ice cream and wanted 2 vanilla and 1 honeycomb. We got 3 vanilla. To compound matters we were charged an extra £1 for the honeycomb ! This charge was removed after I complained but only at the end of the bill which meant that the service charge was applied to the wrong amount. Yes I know it's only 10p but ..... We did have a fantastic English sparkling wine which I would urge people to try.

Positive - Food was ok, if a little overpriced for the quality.

Reason for rating - Staff were dire, rude and pushy, didn’t inform you that the chip basket was hotter than the surface of the sun so you burnt your hands when touching it (literally, still have the mark) and the wait staff actually made you want to leave. Wouldn’t go back and wouldn’t recommend anyone to try it, there is much better in the locality.

Great food terrible service a glass was dropped on my dad by the waiter it took him at least 20 minutes to clean the glass. Also problems with the bill and food coming out at different times .

Extremely slow. Booked for afternoon tea waited over an hour to be brought a pot of tea. The tea was cold by the time the food arrived. Very sloppy looking & not too appetizing & with chipped pots of cream! Very short staffed. Wouldn't return. Such a shame as once upon was 'The place to be'.

We were bought Champagne afternoon tea as a gift. We pre booked but yet weren't asked for our name. Taken to a table & given menus when we stared we were having afternoon tea! The tea was luke warm, and had to ask for more. The champagne, cakes and mini brioche rolls were good. We were then asked to pay a service charge and the service was extremely poor No one checked on us. Not impressed when we had been given the experience as a gift, wouldn't recommend

We went to Browns Restaurant Cambridge yesterday (10.9.17) to celebrate my autistic son's 18th birthday. Both my sons ordered a beefburger from the adult menu but the waiter brought one from kids menu (much to my 8 year old's disappointment, he has a big apetite!). An honest mistake which the waiter rectified reasonably quickly. My wife ordered a tomato risotto which when it arrived was inedible. It tasted like polystyrene with the flavour removed! The rice was quite dry and not creamy like it should be. A couple of slices of raw tasteless tomato had been thrown on top of the rice, no doubt to ensure that it could be called a tomato risotto and they couldn't be sued for misrepresentation. The mâitre'd apologised and offered anything on the menu as a replacement, my wife opted for fish & chips which duly arrived. I had ordered the sea-bass with two side dishes, chips with parmasan and some fried mushrooms. The absolutely tiny sea-bass arrived but no side dishes. After waiting 5 minutes I called the waiter over and explained the situation. He apologised and said he had forgotten to include the 'sides' on the order! The waiter re-ordered the sides. I then thought to myself should I eat my sea-bass or wait for the sides? I did the former, thank god, as I then had to wait an interminal half hour before the rest of my main course arrived. I devoured my sea-bass (the size of a spratt) within a couple of minutes, underneath I found one small new potato and three small segments of an infitnitessimal squid's tentacle in an over-salted sauce. I had, by this time given up the will to live. It's not often you are given the task of eating chips on their own, they really would have tasted better accompanied by some fish. Likewise with the field mushrooms, such a shame. My wife decided to drown her sorrows with a beautiful looking raspberry mojito. It was not to be. After one gulp the sudden realisation that a vital ingredient had gone AWOL. I made representations to the mâitre'd when again he apologised and went off to make another one but this time adding some sugar syrup. It was better but nothing wow.



The celebration was ruined by poor food/cooking and a failure to check the order. The staff tried to put things right by offering a couple of free coffees and not charging for my wife's fish & chips but the meal will always be remembered for the faults and not the food.



We will NEVER visit this restaurant again...EVER!

Very slow service. Not the Browns it used to be. Lots of people standing around talking it was about 30mins before we got offered a drink. Then to top is all service charge with the bill

Rude staff food burned to inedible won’t go back !

Had my 50th Birthday celebration destroyed here last night...

The table had been booked for at least 10 days (We came back from Paris to be here for 8pm) but when we arrived there wasn't a table available.

I was offered a free glass of prosecco as compensation (nothing was offered to any of our other guests) But after waiting for between 20-30 minutes for that to arrive the waiter proceeded to drop the glass onto the table we'd managed to find in the overcrowded bar covering me in prosecco and broken glass! And that was before we'd even sat down. Things went from bad to worse we were finally seated an hour after arriving and several complaints, but had to wait ANOTHER 15 minutes before anyone took our order, starters took another 30 minutes to arrive, (total 1 hour and 45 mins after arriving at the restaurant we finally got our starters) and that set the tone for the whole evening, my son was squashed half to death by the party sitting behind us, who although friendly and pleasant were way too close for comfort (and also disgusted at the service they were receiving). We waited too long for our main course, we waited too long for drinks. By the time the waiter took our dessert order some choices were unavailable, when my profiteroles finally arrived a birthday candle had been rammed directly into one of the profiteroles, no candle holder, just the waxy candle rammed straight into the food! No ceremony. No singing. No thought!

3 hours after arriving we couldn't wait to leave.

Quite categorically the WORST Birthday meal EVER.

Don't have the Scones,they are like sad ' tiny' pebbles' very disappointing!
