I adore the Brown Bottle. I have been eating here for years and the food and the atmosphere are just nostalgic for me. I'm moving back to the area after being gone for a while and I'm so excited to get to come back and get food here. I love the salad (get the brown bottle italian and the creamy garlic dressings both). I love the toastie that is served with the salad. The chicken marsala - whenever I have it at another restaurant it doesn't taste right. Twice baked potatoes! The shrimp in butter sauce. Those are my favorites.

Lovely place with a balcony at the back which is good in warm weather. Also inside seemed very homely and cozy. View out back is of a parking lot but you are elevated amongst some trees which helps. Server was super friendly and attentive. I had a really tasty Merlot wine by the glass. And had the salmon with twice baked potatoes. When it arrived I wasn't sure but it tasted much better than it looked. Was really delicious. Highly recommend. Only 4 stars cause it was just slightly overpriced. But a must try if you in Cedar Falls.

Went here for my daughters high school graduation. The service was amazing and the food was great. The prices are a tad higher but the quality is worth it. There is alot of seating and big windows to see out the back, to the wildlife. This is not an everyday restaurant but for a special occasion it is great. I will definitely be going back.

Wow! We had an amazing meal at the Brown Bottle. We called for reservations and glad I did- very busy. Staff exceptional. Lovely environment & food delicious. Menu had so many tempting options- I doubt you'd go wrong. Even splurged on dessert (never do) & it was perfect (lemon cheesecake)

I was in town this past weekend for a wrestling tournament and decided to eat here on Friday night. Fantastic little place. I ordered the prime rib and sweet potatoes. Everything was wonderful. Prime rib cooked to perfection. Had a side of horseradish. The food of the people I was sitting with looked really good as well and everyone raved about what they all had individually ordered. We ended up eating here the next night as well because the food was so good. Great service too. Everyone was very accommodating and prompt.
