    As usual everything was on par! Drinks were great, oysters were delicious. Golden beet salad went well with the pork chops grits.

    I had a wonderful experience. From the host stand till the end, Abel Brown had excellent service, and everyone showed genuine commitment to a quality dining experience. My food was excellent. I had the beef carpaccio and harissa lime butter broiled oysters with a side of brussel sprouts. Would recommend to anyone celebrating something or traveling to Augusta.

    Superb. Food was delicious. Crab soup and trout were outstanding. John was our server and was very knowledgeable about menu and wine. He answered all of our questions and his service was great. Totally enjoyed our evening. Well go back! 😁

    Always enjoy Friday evening family dinner at Abel Brown. There is an updated menu and the space has been refreshed. Everything looks great and the new menu options tempting. I always go to the pork chop and it never disappoints. New cocktails and always excellent service. Thank you Philip.

    Always a good experience. Food is great and service excellent. Can be a bit loud and pricey (depending on your appetite) but an excellent restaurant. Always honors our requests via Open Table.
