Our tea package was a gift and as first timers we weren't sure what to expect. We had the option of a mimosa or prosecco to start. While sipping on our prosecco, our tea butler stopped by to present the teas. She did a great job describing everything, it was hard to pick! I went with a tangerine ginger, and my sister went with the vanilla. We both took her recommendations for infusions. You receive a generous amount of tea. The presentation of snacks and treats is beautiful. We had the luxe menu and enjoyed everything. An extra bottle of prosecco had been tacked on and when we were ready, staff popped it open and kept it chilled next to our table. The pianist was lovely. Played great music and also did a round of happy birthday. We were celebrating my birthday so I was gifted a slice of carrot cake which was delicious. While this isn't something you would do all the time, we are already looking forward to coming back for another birthday celebration.

Carlos was charming before I could even walk through the door, but Gigi stole the show behind the bar. Her effortless charisma and personable demeanor are exactly what anyone could ask for in a bartender. She made me two well made cocktails, and the kitchen came through with a perfect Fried Catfish and Fries plate that was left completely clean before I could finish my first drink. I was told the restaurant is about a year old, but there's not a single detail I could find that could convince me this place didn't open yesterday. It looks really sharp, even from the street. Everything was made with love, I will be coming back here soon!

Their current winter "Port No 6" menu has drinks starting at $12 but you can tell they put a lot of care into each creation.

Staff are friendly but things may move a little slower due to the care they put into their cocktails. This is definitely reminiscent of island vibes. Wait for a good drink and relax at the bar or outer patio (which has heaters in the winter). Street parking is pretty easy to snag, even around dinner time.

There was no menu that I saw, but we ordered 2 old fashioned with bourbon, sweet. The inside looks recently renovated - industrial/metal concrete vibes?, There's pool table, a few TV screens, and high top tables with heavy, counter height bar stools tucked along the windows. It was dark when we visited, but I'd imagine there's a great view of the river during the day. Everything was clean, and I appreciated that the tables/floors weren't sticky or gross. The drinks were just right. We were on a tight schedule to get to another reservation, or I would have liked to hang out a little longer - the bartender was quick to close out or tab. Overall, cool vibe, good drink, fair price. The only downside was parking, but that's a given for anywhere downtown.

This rooftop is always a hotspot choice to enjoy some time with friends be sure to send someone ahead of time to grab a good seating location as spots fill up quickly.

I will also say their food options and selections have increased tremendously recently.

What disappointed me was that the menu specifically advertised Amish butter and homemade jam, which was one of the reasons I ordered it. Instead, I was served two foil wrapped pats of butter spread and two containers of Welch's jelly. When I asked about it, the waitress explained they no longer have the Amish butter or homemade jam and that was why she brought the substitutes. Jelly is not Jam.. sigh I understand that restaurants run out of items or change suppliers, but if something that's specifically advertised is no longer available, it should be mentioned when ordering or updated on the menu. Also, jelly isn't the same as homemade jam. It wasn't a huge deal, but it's frustrating when advertised items are quietly replaced with packaged alternatives without acknowledging the difference. The breakfast was good, but I'd encourage the restaurant to either serve what's advertised or be upfront with customers when substitutions are necessary.

I ordered the turkey BLT and loved that it came on a buttery, flaky croissant--such a great touch that took the sandwich to the next level. That said, I tried the chicken katsu sandwich and it was seriously one of the best sandwiches I've ever had--perfectly cooked chicken, the flavors were on point, and the mayo? Everything. I came across a "new menu" on Google & was a little bummed to see it's no longer on the updated menu. I really hope they bring it back or I looked at an "old" or outdated new menu The ambiance was great--I sat in the front near the hotel, but the outdoor lounge area looked super cozy and inviting. I'd love to come back at night, when the string lights and fire towers are lit up I feel like the area would be even cozier and cuter The service was okay; I'm not sure if it's because we were sitting outside but it felt like we didn't get much service at all. Overall, I really enjoyed the food and the vibe, and I'll definitely be returning.

We knew Brownstone would be the perfect place to celebrate. All positive feedback! 1. Cleanliness and Management The establishment is always clean. I was to witness the owner personally wiping down tables and adjusting furniture. Seeing an owner take such visible pride in their business and never being "too good" to work really stands out to me and sets a great tone for the venue. 2. Happy Hour, Drinks, and Vibe Their happy hour is absolutely amazing, with affordable prices and great options. It normally stops at 7:00 PM, but they extended it until 9:00 PM last night! The drinks were made to order, arrived shortly after ordering, and tasted great. They weren't so strong that you couldn't enjoy them, but they definitely packed a punch. The atmosphere was flawless thanks to the staff and 2 DJs who kept the music upbeat and perfect. The entire crowd was having a time, singing along on cue and swaying to the music. 3. The Food We ordered pasta and happy hour appetizers, and everything was delicious. From presentation to taste, the kitchen delivered exactly what we were hoping for. I have absolutely no complaints. It was another fantastic experience celebrating a great holiday with an even better crowd. To answer your question, will I return? Absolutely! In fact, I might even head back after Summerfest this weekend!
