In the 1940โ€™s, Brown and Loe was originally a produce broker with offices on the second floor of the Merchantโ€™s Bank building. The new Brown and Loe Restaurant celebrates the techniques of curing, pickling and smoking meats, beautifully interpreted into marvelous American comfort cuisine. This is a true local venue, evidenced by the restaurantโ€™s allegiance to the resident farmers and food artisans who supply most of the restaurantโ€™s fresh ingredients.
