My stay at the Brown Hotel was outstanding. Drinks at the Bar we're on point. The War Admiral was top notch and one of the best cocktails I have ever had. Restaurant was solid, breakfast, brunch and dinner were all great. The winning experience of the stay was the Chef's dinner with Chef Paul and his French Burgundy region inspired 5-course meal in combination with his selected wine pairings. Definitely will stay here again. Thanks Chef Paul and the Brown Hotel staff!
