Love this place! The food is always delicious. Their only weak spot is the salad, but the dressings are yummy! Would love to see them bring back the old garlic bread, too. You have to finish with the brownie pie! So good!
The service was fantastic. The waitresses and hosts were very kind, and they got us anything we needed.
The food was alright, not bad but nothing special. Is it worth the price? Probably not, but I did enjoy it. Dessert was a little lackluster. Piece of brownie with whipped cream smeared on top. The drinks were phenomenal. Loved those.
The atmosphere would have been nice if we weren't sat near two parties. We had a reservation for two to have a nice, quiet, special dinner. Well, being sat near two parties with 5-10 people in each, the quiet part was not happening. Lots of loud adults and children. Hard to hear each other. Wouldn't put two people next to big parties like that.
Had a great time getting dinner here for my wife's birthday. Service was great, our waitress was kind, quick to bring our food/drinks, and did not check on us too much/not enough.
We got their mushrooms and goat cheese with bread for appetizers. My wife liked the mushrooms more and I liked the cheese/bread more but both were good in their own way. I got the roasted garlic pasta with chicken added in and it was delicious!
We also got drinks and I had the best Gin Rickey I've ever tasted here! It wasn't on the menu but after asking the waitress they made it for me and I ended up having a couple. Was a great time.
Food is delicious. It's always freshly made. They have pretty good dessert options, too.
Service is excellent. Never have to wait for water refills or the food to arrive, even when they are super busy.
The place can get noisy at times.
Can get a little pricey, but not too bad. The place can get very busy, especially on the weekends, so reservations are highly recommended.
The Brown Bottle was a fabulous place to grab a team dinner! The atmosphere gives supper club vibes, but with a modern take. We had several appetizers, including the cheesy garlic bread and the crab dip, all of which were amazing! For my entree I chose the Peppered Bacon Pasta, which was
peppered bacon, chicken, and green onions with campanelle pasta in a creamy sauce with a touch of sweetness. It was amazing both fresh and leftover! For dessert, they had lemon cheesecake as their special. It was perfect to say the least! A strong lemon flavor throughout the cheesecake with a perfectly done crust!
I will definitely be coming back!
My favorite restaurant in Cedar Falls. It has an upscale feel, the food is excellent, and the service is great. The seating area is split up into smaller rooms so the table chatter is never too loud. If you are going to be in Cedar Falls for dinner I highly recommend this place. Plus they take reservations so you can call ahead. Update: still the best!
Used to have the BEST daiquiris. This time "sorry no daiquiris, we don't have a blender." What bar doesn't have a blender!!! Salad was wilted, lasagna was cold and the french bread was so small it fit in the palm of my hand. This place used to be top notch and our 'go to' for any special occasion. Well, not anymore. Something has definitely changed!! I always ended my meal with a pink squirrel but not this time. Was afraid I'd be served hard dipped ice cream instead of the traditional softserve. Sorry Cedar Falls Brown Bottle - you will not get our money again.
Our reservation was for 5 p.m. and we were seated immediately at a table overlooking the river. Alex, our waitperson, was exceptionally friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Our party of four enjoyed the sautéed mushrooms and the crab dip with naan bread as appetizers. Both were delicious. I ordered the salmon with peach salsa and was quite pleased with this dish. It was flavorful and not too hot ( even though I like hot). I upgraded to the goat cheese salad and that was a hood choice. Tiramisu for dessert was light and airy, absolutely mouthwatering. We ordered a bottle of merlot, the merlot served by the glass. The vodka dirty martini was good, but should have had an olive. The atmosphere was cozy and the view great. The best recommendation is to return and I anticipate my next visit.
