Marsha Brown Creole Kitchen and Lounge serves New Orleans-style casual dining for Creole-Southern fare and an oyster bar in an elegant former church. We had a chance to talk to Marsha Brown herself, who shared with us a few tidbits about the restaurant, their food, concept, and business philosophy. Here’s what we learned:
Marsha Brown Owner of Marsha Brown Creole Kitchen and Lounge in New Hope Pennsylvania
FriendsEAT: Tell us a little something about your Marsha Brown.
Marsha Brown: After years in the restaurant business, I have decided it was time for the divine flavors and bold personality of my Louisiana upbringing to ascend north of the Mason-Dixon line. My idea was to create a refined Creole Kitchen & Loungethat made the authentic taste and charm of New Orleans available” A place that was an extension of my own dining room, where I could share my family’s most cherished recipes.
I conceived this labor of love as a sophisticated, yet friendly, southern fine dining venue that offers the highest quality of fish, meats and fowl prepared with simple decadence, relaxed yet elegant surroundings, and understated Southern hospitality.
FE: Are there any awards you have received that you are particularly proud of?
Marsha Brown: 2015 and 2016 winner of ‘Diner’s Choice’ on Open Table

FE: What is your most popular dish? Why do people love it?
