"First I want to say that I've been coming here since I was a little 10 year old boy. For the last 25 years we've loved and supported this place so much. Tonight I had a very bad experience with one of the managers( Tall skinny guy with short hair,blue shirt light hair as I stepped out of the way so he could pass. My son and I wear masks and do not eat in the restaurantbut we always order our food to go after our family eats. After we stepped out of the way for the manager and said you go aheadsir he gave me the worst dirty look and didn't even acknowledge me and then went 2 steps to the bar and talked with his friendsat the bar. We are just starting to come out of covid and ready to demask and had planned on coming to the brown bottle at leastevery two weeks from now on like we used to. Let me say though the owner is an amazing man who is very kind which is why I'mgiving three stars instead of one. He welcomed us to my birthday dinner like we belonged there. It is because of him that I willbe returning. Amazing owner and amazing food. Hopefully after my next visit I can change it back to five stars. I'll tell youthat never again will I step out of the way for that manager who looked at my son and I like we were freaks with completedisrespect. My child is diabetic with an auto immune disease so we have to be safe. I just wish we weren't judged in a place mygrandpa always took us to as kids."

"We had a weekend full of excitement, dedicating our time to each other. The tortilla soup was outstanding, with perfectly balanced spices and temperature. It was hotter than usual, but just right since we chose to sit outside. The guacamole and chips were fresh, with just the right amount of lime and lemon to enhance the flavors. The chips were crisp and delightful. The tempura shrimp was also fresh, juicy, and flavorful. The aioli sauce that accompanied the shrimp added a spicy kick that enhanced the dish even further. I ordered a drink called "Lavender Escape," which struck a perfect balance—not too strong or too weak—and I could taste all the ingredients. Each dish complemented the next, with precise spices that made everything flow beautifully together. To top it all off, a guitar player was performing 90s hits acapella as we watched the sunset, which truly made the weekend special. Our server, Jacob, was incredibly attentive and dedicated, making sure we had everything we needed. He was genuinely polite and even overly apologetic about small things, though I reassured him that it was completely understandable. This dinner with my sister was truly unforgettable, especially since we don’t get to see each other often. It was a fantastic experience, and I’m grateful to the staff for making it possible. With our busy lives, it’s important to occasionally escape reality and retreat into our own little paradise with the right person. This experience really boosted our spirits!"
