Brown Street 151

Having acquired a home in Rhinelander this summer, we tried all the local supper clubs but weren't able to try Brown St 151 as they were unfortunately closed. The supper clubs we tried, even the ones with premium lakefront locations, all had mediocre food consisting of nearly interchangeable menus of fried items and service was generally of the "you are lucky we let you in here and I'll reluctantly serve yet another table" kind of treatment. We were vastly disappointed with the food quality and "service" afforded us at most local supper clubs. Brown St 151 is a lot more like what we are used to. The menu offerings are another level. The food service was great. Drinks were great, a little bit slow but only one bartender was available, who was fun but not super efficient. But, it's not a hustle vibe either. That is not a cut down - if you've ever seen how the bartenders work to crank out the complex drinks in a big city packed club, you know what I mean. Being Friday night I had the Red Snapper, blackened. It was excellent and nicely spicy, the pineapple salsa was an excellent flavor counterpoint. The vegetables, carrots and zucchini with garlic were great. The salad was fresh with a nice mix of greens. The presentation was notably good. The drinks were excellent, and the wine list is extensive, much more so than anywhere else we found in the Northwoods. Having visited the Sonoma CA region for various wine tasting events, I selected a Sonoma County Chardonnay to pair with the Snapper and was treated with a generous pour. I went back the next Friday and tried the grilled Salmon. It was beautiful and served with grilled Asparagus and Hollandaise sauce that was well executed and wonderfully presented. Flavor was great. The vegetables were again excellent and the salad fresh. Service was great once again, THANK YOU ROMI! :-) Drinks were great too. For dessert, both times I visited I had a Reese's peanut butter cup/chocolate offering that was insanely good. Again the presentation was great as well. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very nice. It's old worldish, with modern touches, clean, well lit, organized, and cozy all at the same time. The rest rooms are clean and luxurious. Nice background music completes your visit. If you want to visit a restaurant that is serving legitimate high end food and drinks, compares well to higher end establishments around the country, at locally competitive prices, has a wonderful atmosphere, and great service then Brown Street 151 is for you. The owners' vision for this place is awesome, and, they have to have a great staff that buys in to execute that vision because it takes a team. Everyone from the greeter to the chefs to the servers are creating a great product and should be proud of what they are doing. They have created a GEM in the Northwoods. Please visit often and tip generously when they get it right.....we want to come back! :-)

I’ve had the pleasure of dining at Brown Street 151 multiple times, and it has consistently been a fantastic experience. The restaurant offers a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. One of my absolute favorite dishes is their steak and spaetzle. The steak is always cooked to perfection, tender and flavorful, and the spaetzle is a delightful complement. Another standout is their French onion soup, which is rich, savory, and absolutely delicious. The staff at Brown Street 151 are always attentive and friendly, providing excellent service that enhances the dining experience. Whether you’re a local or just passing through Rhinelander, I highly recommend stopping by Brown Street 151 for a meal. You won’t be disappointed!

Food is amazing! We had the Raspberry chicken and the French onion soup, both with salads. Service was very friendly and fast. Atmosphere is super relaxing, especially with the jazz in the background!

Since reopening they have done wonders, food was incredibly good (recommend the Tetrazzini) and the wait was moderate. Our server Ryann was very nice and very fast, she went above and beyond to make my girlfriend and I's dining experience enjoyable 10/10 employee. The atmosphere was loud but not unbearable, the tables and dishware were clean. The food was delicious and filling. Overall it's a fine restaurant and they've really stepped up the last time I entered.

First time here while visiting the area and will absolutely return! The service was above and beyond and the food was delicious! The filet was cooked perfectly and I'm so glad I added mushrooms because they were excellent. We also ordered a dessert for the table and as you can see in the photo, it was epic! Great place for a fine dining experience!

I got the Chicken Tetrazzini and peanut butter dessert cake. Very good. Their martinis and Moscow mules are also very very good!

This is our favorite restaurant in the entire area when we are in town. Everything from the first drink to the desert has been amazing each time we come to this place. I highly recommend this place for anyone who wants a higher end meal for a reasonable price.

We still eat here a every other month or so. While it is a very nice place to eat, and the food is good, we don't care to always pay the prices. The staff is always pleasant and attentive, but can get pretty busy! This winter I had their cheesy popcorn soup. That was delicious! I had another steak dish that has some kind of sauce. (see pic) I didn't care for that as much, so I steak to their normal steak. Previous Review I like the steak from here. It's a nice place to o eat, but because they are so busy, it's hard to get refills on your drinks. Such is life in restaurants these days. But food was great and hot.
