I've been here a few times in the past and have generally had a good experience; however, I came for brunch on Sunday and I was quite disappointed.
In the past I have often ordered the mixed house greens salad (tomato, cucumber, red onion and shredded carrots, tossed in our famous balsamic dressing, $10) and have asked for it to be topped with grilled shrimp (it's not an explicit option listed on the menu, but you can ask for it, $5). It's typically a pretty good dish that I enjoy. This time I had a number of issues with my experience at Brownstone Bistro
1) There were ice chunks in my shredded carrot! (I think there's enough said with that)
2) $5 for 3 measly pieces of shrimp seems quite excessive, especially when the shrimp were not very good. I don't know how they were cooked, but it tasted as though they were soaked in butter or oil. They were not very good.
3) Out of green tea - how does a restaurant run out of green tea for brunch?!
4) My dish did not come with fruit but my friends' did. I noticed that they received much less fruit than they had on previous visits.
5) Our server was rather slow and inattentive especially towards the end. We ended up sitting around waiting for our bills for quite some time. It wasn't too bad because we were having a good conversation, but It would have been nice had she checked in on us sooner.
Overall a disappointing visit.
