About this restaurant

Innovative
Neighborhood gem
Romantic

Cook & Brown Public House is a modern, New England inspired version of a European Gastropub. This translates to a restaurant with food that is rustic in nature yet refined in technique, and service that is casual and friendly while still maintaining a high level of professionalism and polish. Cook and Brown seats 50-55 people including the bar, which acts more as a dining counter for single diners or those guests who wish for a more casual dining experience.

I had been there about a year ago and had an AMAZING meal. It was a night when they had gotten a pig from a local farm so everyone in the restaurant got ham with delicious jams and side dishes and it was really exquisite. But I could not have been more disappointed with this most recent visit. We had (way) under-cooked (almost raw), extremely tough steak, porkchops that were ice cold and a brussel-sprout salad that had so much vinegar, it almost made me choke. We left before dessert but I would never go back.

Stopped in for drinks and a casual dinner. The food and drinks were good, but the service was really slow. It took 40 minutes for us to get all of our drinks. In fact, two sets of customers left because the service was so slow. Another issue was the bathroom. It smelled. It smelled so strongly, that we asked for another table in order to be away from the "aroma." And it wasn't busy, it was our party and three people at the bar. Not a place I'd recommend.

We were on a double date. It was a nice relaxed atmosphere with great ambiance. The wait staff was pleasant and attentive without being a bother. The food was an experience for the taste buds. Every bite was savored while we enjoyed great conversation. We had to look up a few words from the menu, but this just added to the fun.
