Brown Bottle The Cedar Falls

We are just beginning to feel comfortable dining out again after COVID, and we were looking forward to visiting regularly, just like we used to. I want to note that the owner is a truly wonderful person and very friendly, which is why I’m giving this review three stars instead of one. He greeted us warmly when we visited for my birthday dinner, and because of him, I plan to return. His hospitality and the amazing food are what keep me coming back. That said, I’ll never again yield the way for a manager who treated my son and me with such disregard, as if we were out of place. My child has diabetes and an autoimmune illness, so it’s crucial for us to feel safe. It saddens me to think we’d be judged in a place that holds so many fond memories from when my grandpa used to bring us here as kids. I hope to change my rating to five stars after my next visit, as long as the service improves.

Last week, my friend and I had a delightful experience at the restaurant. We tried the seasonal butternut squash pasta with seasoned roasted pumpkin seeds, which was absolutely fantastic! To complement our meal, we shared a bottle of Educated Guess wine, and it paired perfectly with the pasta. Our server, Baylee, was outstanding— funny, friendly, helpful, and very attentive. We felt fortunate to have her!

This is my favorite restaurant! The Italian food is outstanding. It’s a bit on the pricier side, but not excessively so. The appetizers are delicious, the duck dishes are wonderful, and the desserts are fantastic. They also have a location in Waterloo.

Food was excellent!! I would highly recommend this place

Beautiful cozy restaurant environment with great staff. The food was amazing and the drinks were lovely!
