Lovely food and lovely staff. I went for their New Year’s Eve set meal which was very tasty and very filling, blimey. Would love to visit again when I next go to Dartmouth :)

We were staying in Dartmouth and looking for a good, dog friendly place to eat and Brown's fit the bill perfectly. As it was a Monday evening the place was very quiet and we were offered a choice of two tables with plenty of space for our 2 Irish Setters. The very friendly waitress (sorry I didn't ask your name!) quickly took our orders for wine and food. Starters of roast chorizo and a field mushroom topped with goat's cheese were delicious and the mains of venison and wild boar ragu were every bit as good. Sadly, we had no room for desserts, but there looked to be a good choice. They don't have a car park but there is plenty of free on street parking on Victoria Road; I guess the place gets very busy in main seaon though so you may have to use one of the nearby pay car parks and walk along. Worth the walk though as it's certainly a place to recommend.

Back at Browns for the first time in a few years (had not been to Dartmouth in far too long), food and ambience just as lovely as we remembered it!! Seems to be an entirely new menu, with great veggie options and they now are doing cocktails - had the weekly special earl grey martini which was delicious

Lovely evening, great food. I came for a romantic meal out with my girlfriend. I had the fish special, which was delicious followed a fab cheese board. Will definitely be back!!

Attended Browns for the first and last time on 23 August 2023. Poor food and grossly overpriced. One vegan burger was cold. Strangely, the other wasn't. Fries were served in a thimble. There were 15 - yes, I counted them. Tortellini was ordered by two people. Six pieces on a plate without even a leaf of salad for £19. One person ordered duck that was tough as shoe leather. Staff were inexperienced and inattentive. Wouldn't return if the meal was free. The food, cost and service at Bayards Cove Inn and The Royal Castle Hotel are far superior.

Expensive for what you get. Meagre portions of Moroccan lamb, mussels were bland, vegan burger poor, pedestrian salads . Came away feeling it was poor value for money.

Very welcoming & efficient staff. Tables well spaced. The house Sicilian wine, both red & white were good. My husband's fish soup was tasty but his brochette of prawns could have been a bit fresher. My tagine was quite nice but the couscous had been packed into a mould and were too hard. The Afrogato was ample & a nice end to the meal.

Excellent service, decent food and relaxed atmosphere. Nice family run restaurant. Would recommend.

Good place for dinner, food and service were good. Shame it was very quiet so lacked atmosphere Worth trying again
The FOH Fleur and Rowan were incredible and friendly. Both thoroughly deserving of praise and a pay rise!!! The food was great and everyone serving and cooking were spot on.

We stayed at Browns with our Border terrier Fergus. We were all made very welcome. Our room was spotlessly clean and had a very comfortable bed. Breakfast was excellent and we had a good meal there one evening. Browns is ideally situated in Dartmouth

Each and every staff member were welcoming, friendly, attentive and professional. A relaxing atmosphere, great vibes and tunes throughout the evening. Our dishes were super tasty, fine dining at an amazingly reasonable price! So good, we booked again during our stay in Dartmouth. I would definitely recommend ?
