Some of the best food I have had in years! The beef tenderloin was EXCEPTIONAL - cooked to a perfect rare for me, and medium rare or well-done for others! There was a pasta with wild mushrooms dish that was extraordinary!! I will go to Good Luck in the hopes that it will be on their menu!! All the food was fabulous from appetizers (shrimp was the highlight) to desserts!! Bartenders and servers were also remarkable - polite, professional, non-intrusive, and pleasant. I would HIGHLY recommend this venue for any private party.

The Brown Hound has a lovely atmosphere and the staff was so attentive and welcoming! We went for brunch this Saturday and there was even a band playing live music that was very enjoyable!! However I didn't think the food was that great - it honestly reminded me of airplane food. The frittata was alright, but most of the meal consisted of the home fries that were bland and dry. And I was disappointed by the side of fruit, which reminded me that even though the restaurant looks so nice, it's still just museum food. HOWEVER I watched the servers bringing out food to the tables downstairs and some of the other meals looked way better! Maybe I just ordered the "wrong" thing! If I came again I would definitely try the french toast which looked really special. I very much enjoyed the atmosphere but overall I thought the food was rather bland.

Went out for brunch for the first time here with two friends. Very cute upstairs space, and the staff was super nice. I ordered the carnivore frittata which comes with home fries and fresh fruit - it was so good, and kept me full the rest of the day! We also ordered a mimosa carafe to split between 3 of us, and it was the perfect amount. I would definitely come back!

The Brown Hound Downtown catered an event at our brand new luxury apartments, Dunnwood Green in Pittsford. We cannot say enough about the great food and service. We had outstanding vegetarian options as well as perfectly cooked, delicious steaks and tasty side dishes. The desserts were decadent and so very pretty! The team was lovely, helpful and very passionate about making our event over the top special.

Is there an elevator for a handicapped person to use?

Upon entering the front doors of the MAG, the elevator is right of the Cutler Union stairs. Exit on the 1st floor. Go left off the elevator, past the landing, through the burgundy curtain (you will pass through a prep area) and in the secret swinging door to the lounge!
