    My wife is working in Augusta and I went to spend the weekend with her from Atlanta. I found Abel Brown on Yelp and compared the reviews from other restaurants and chose Abel Brown for my wife and I to have dinner on 8/24/24. This was a rest choice. My wife and I arrived 5 mins before or reservation time and were promptly seated. Our server was named Dominique and she was great. The atmosphere and the customer service was great. Domonique gave us a lot of different options to choose from for our dinner. I ordered a 1/2 dzn broiled oysters and my wife had the crab cake for our appetizers. We were very happy with the appetizers as we shared. My wife ordered the pork chop which was thick and nice sized for her entree. I ordered the Halibut and it was perfectly seasoned and flaky. My wife and I loved both of our entrees. I will say the pork chop could have been seasoned a little more however it was still delicious. We both enjoyed all of our choices. Dominique was very engaging with us and very knowledgeable of everything on the menu. We loved not only the food but also the customer service experience we had throughout our dinner. We will definitely return to Abel Brown. My wife has even told some of her colleagues about Abel Brown. Being from Atlanta and having so many food options Abel Brown would definitely do well in Atlanta. Abel Brown has definitely earned 5 stars in all categories that we experienced during our visit. Management you all need to definitely make sure to never let Dominique leave. She is definitely an asset to your restaurant. Until we return thank you for everything

    Very, very good meal at Abel Brown last night. Super comfortable environment with incredibly polished service. ALL of the appetizers and salads we had were outstanding - oysters, Johnny cakes with pimento cheese, hush puppies, and Brussels sprouts, then she crab soup, heirloom tomato and burrata salad, and wedge salads. We had a large party of 12 people so unfortunately our main courses sat u der a heat lamp for a while, drying out many of the dishes. The flavor of the bacon covered salmon was great, it was just overcooked and dry. Same with the shrimp and grits - the grits ended up very dry. But overall the meal was fantastic and I would absolutely come back.

    There's almost no need to write a review for this restaurant. People who know, know. Its reputation alone forgoes the necessity to write a review. I'm no culinary blogger and I'm not a poet, so forgive my bluntness. This is one of THEE best spots to eat in all of Augusta and I'd put it up against any restaurant in Georgia! My wife and I try to make it here once a year and we returned again last night for our anniversary. Right when you walk in, you can breath easy. The waiting staff is welcoming and warm. We made reservations so we had no wait. When we sat down our waitress, Hope, attended to everything we needed and she was such a delight! I thought I wanted the chicken, but after listening to her read off the specials, she sold me on the center cut fillet. My wife got the scallops. As we waited on the main courses, we enjoyed the quiet environment and talked over drinks. I got the golden beet salad and my wife got the she crab soup. I can't speak for my wife, but the salad was delicious! When the main courses came, they were plates to perfection. I've never had a better steak in my whole life. Every bite caused a pause in conversation because the food demanded your attention. Needless to say, it was perfection; served with trumpet mushrooms and fingerling potatoes and an au jus that knocked my socks off! I can't recommend this place enough! It's well worth a look at your next date night!

    Holy cow the food was good! I had the deviled eggs, pickled beet/plum salad, and the she-crab soup, and everything was amazing. I ended up ordering a 2nd salad to go to eat later because I needed more of it in my life. I normally don't order anything crab outside my home state because I'm an unapologetic judgmental Marylander, but the other food was so good I made an exception. Wow am I glad I did. The flavor of the soup was perfection. Plus great wine, service, and ambiance. This is one of the best meals I've had in a while.
