   Brown is a lovely location and solidly good food. Not Merrimans or Meridia class, but good. Not inexpensive, as Fairmont’s fancy option, but always a solid restaurant, great service and waterside fancy option w guests.

   We were a group of three ladies all celebrating our 50th birthdays. The service was phenomenal and we all felt so special. The ambiance was amazing with live local music creating the perfect Hawaiian experience. The meals were some of the best we had during our entire stay in Hawaii. We will most definitely be back! Thank you to all who were working at Brown’s Beach house that evening.

   The rib eye was amazing. Probably the best meal we had while in Hawaii.

   Everything was incredible. The food, service, live acoustic music through sunset made it a magical dinner.

   While the location is quite remarkable and the service was excellent the food was rather, average, at best. For appetizers, we had the lobster bisque and the beet salad. Both were amazing but the portion size of the beet salad is very small, not exactly worth the price point. For mains, we ordered the ribeye and kanpachi entrees. Both were simply underwhelming and left us feeling letdown. The ingredients seemed to be fresh enough, but altogether missed the mark! Additionally, the pricing doesn’t truly fit the bill here. It’s pretty outrageous for what you get, and that’s coming from Beverly Hills residents…

   The new menu was not as robust as before. They removed the filet which was an iconic meal there. The ulu side was sort of gross.

   We’ve been coming to Brown’s Beach House for years, and it’s always a highlight. The setting is beautiful, the food is excellent, and the service is warm and consistent. It’s one of those rare places that never loses its charm — always a pleasure.

    Chelsi was our waitress and did a fantastic job. We dined here quite a while ago and did not have a good experience but this time was great. Right from the staff to the entertainment and every course. We will definitely be back!
