I got the classic chicken and waffles and it was divine. The blueberry sauce was the perfect addiction and elevated the dish immensely. Our server, Robert, was a delight and he took such good care of us. There was live music which added to the atmosphere and this was an overall lovely experience. Will come again!

Went for dinner and really appreciated several aspects of the experience. The decor is lovely, and the menu lights up when you open it—something I hadn’t seen before. The chairs on the untaken tables were arranged beautifully, and the balcony room offers a nice view of the museum. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive.
The balcony was a bit dark, so next time we might choose the inside room for more light. The food was basic and didn’t quite stand out for us, but it was still nice to get out and enjoy the evening.

Best meals we have had in Rochester. Very classy, in the Memorial Art Gallery. We’ll be back.

I wish I could leave 100 stars.
My dog was diagnosed with osteosarcoma Friday, which will be fatal. This restaurant had no idea. I called Friday to make reservations and everyone was immodestly warm and welcoming. My dog is almost 200 pounds so when a place says “dog friendly” they aren’t always so friendly when a mini horse shows up. Webster and the staff were SO incredible. We sat outside and were swarmed by bees and immediately the manager and staff made a place for us inside – even with my Boomer boy. The drinks and food are out of this world. I’m so incredibly thankful for the kindness of everyone at this restaurant. The live music is just an added layer of an amazing brunch experience. Thank you SO much!

Was visiting the area from out of town and stopped in for brunch over the weekend. Service was friendly and attentive, ambience was pleasant, and the food was fantastic! I had Web’s Loco Moco and I was very impressed by the great cook on the pork belly – tender meat and crispy skin. Also had a wonderful french toast latte. If I’m ever visiting the area again I will absolutely eat at this gem again!

The food here is high quality.
The service is friendly and attentive.
The atmosphere is the selling point— very well decorated, there is often music, and everything feels cozy.
Weekend brunch is a fantastic experience.

The Brown Hound Downtown (Rochester NY) was warm on a very cold winter night. Our waitress, Juliana, was friendly and showed us around, including the Ballroom and Parlor. Our food, Winter Apple salad with grilled chicken and Pasta Primavera with grilled chicken, was wonderful. Our dessert, Cheesy Eddie’s plain cheesecake topped with house-made berry topping was creamy and smooth. We will definitely return.

Delicious wrap with pork belly, I ate half before I could take a photo. Webster was warm and friendly, it’s in the art gallery and the view is special. Rare find

Phenomenal service and food. Webster is a fantastic guy. Checked on every single table to make sure everyone was enjoying their meals and if there was anything he could do. Our server was quick, friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. Very different spot than the norm inside the museum which makes it even more unique. Prices were fair as well. Thanks for the great experience guys! Will be back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Black History Month Celebration at the MAG and were exceptionally pleased with the food, service and hospitality at the Brown Hound Downtown.
