While this restaurant is very difficult to find, it is well worth finding it! I parked outside the main entrance to the art gallery and walked in to the back right of the building to find this restaurant. While our server was a little clueless, he was very kind and quick to make any thing that happened funny or to make it right. We met the owner, who was incredibly generous, and actually blessed our table with free desserts. I loved the simple menu and everything we tried was phenomenal and made extremely well. Definitely will go back and try some other options as well.

My family and I grabbed a quick brunch at Brown Hound. We were seated and greeted immediately which was great because we were so hungry. For drinks, we ordered mimosas and a mule. Both drinks were very refreshing and I also enjoyed that Brown Hound has 5 different mimosa options. For brunch, we ordered the the bird dog sandwich, spring bistro salad, chicken & waffles. OMG, the bird dog is a must try! The chicken was tender and very crispy, cooked to perfection! The chicken and waffles was also delicious! The salad with grilled chicken was flavorful as well and all of the dishes we ordered was very filling. I have to shoutout Webster for the amazing service and always checking in on us throughout brunch. If you are in Rochester, this is a must try for brunch!

Brown Hound takes such good care of me. I’m a traveling nurse from another state but I feel right at home when I eat here. I had the pleasure of their Easter Buffet AND Mother’s Day brunch. Both were amazing. As someone who is traveling alone, they have been able to find a seat for me on those really crowded days and for that I am so grateful!

This place is amazing. The food was great, the service excellent. I have had Web’s Loco Moco and loved it so much I ordered it again the last time I was there. My dining companion had the Chicken and Waffles and was equally impressed.

Great service and quality food with a fancy artsy flair After all out of at the Memorial At Gallery. Maude was the best and funny too. You do not have to be over 50 to have lunch there at 11am on a Thursday.

Such a beautiful atmosphere and the staff is super friendly. Webster, the manager, makes everyone feel at home, walking around to tables making sure everyone is enjoying their time and food. Great live music from local artists serenade us while we dine. Very comfortable place.

Absolutely delicious and plenty. The Winter Bistro Salad was fresh and the red beets and goat cheese was a perfect mix with a fried egg. Atmosphere was fun and service was spot on. Thank you for a lovely time with The Queen Bee Club.

Such a perfect brunch in Rochester! There were four of us dining on a Saturday morning. The menu is seasonal and with the freshest ingredients. I had the Fresh Picked Frittata, which was tasty. I especially loved the home fries. Staff was pleasant and food came quickly. Definitely recommend.
