Renowned for its authentic approach to
Southern cuisine, Abel Brown is a Southern
kitchen and oyster bar located in Surrey
Center. Originally a traditional folk ballad
about the everyday man, Abel Brown has now
become synonymous with modern cuisine delivered with the charm and tradition
reserved for high company. Owner and Chef Todd Schafer chose the name as a
celebration of the restaurant’s blended cultural roots.
Todd is an experienced chef who brings more than just good food to the table.
Inspired by his mother’s cooking, Todd ventured into the kitchen at the age of 15
and never left. His career took him to Atlanta where he worked at Ciboulette under
Chefs Jean Banchet and Thomas Coohill, as well as Provence in Washington D.C.,
and Pinot Blanc in the Napa Valley. Open for dinner Monday through Saturday,
Abel Brown transforms dining out into a memorable experience, featuring a refined
selection of cocktails, beers and wine, flawless service staff, and an enticing,
ingredient-driven menu in simply elegant surroundings.
