    Food was overall phenomenal. Service superb. Wait was expected as it was a holiday and staff were gracious and accommodating. Building and Ambiance was gorgeous/perfect. I would skip the au poivre next time as it had a strong unpleasant herbal taste to us. The filet was absolutely perfect, as was the pork chop, lobster bisque, oysters, wine selection, and even the starter bread and European butter was unique and delicious. Surprisingly priced slightly below what one would expect for such a grand culinary experience. Will return!

    1870 provides a wonderful dining experience. We visited on New Year's Eve, so the restaurant was crowded. But, the staff was calm and proceeded to manage the arriving guests as well as possible. And, with a smile. When seated, the service was attentive, in spite of the stress of such a full house. The food was exceptional. From appetizers to main course to dessert. The wine list was fine. As main courses, we had a petite Filet Mignon and Scottish Salmon. Both were great - and served hot. Given the full house, it was impressive to receive our meals on time and so well presented. Go to 1870. It is worth the drive, even to those who live so far away on the other side of the river......

    Delicious and great service by Bonnie. Steak was cooked perfectly and the béarnaise sauce was outstanding. Sides of creamed spinach and au gratin potatoes were amazing. Truly a remarkable meal.

    I booked here on open table and received a call about in hour or two later that my booking was not valid because their dining room was fully booked (it was open at my booking time therefore must have been something done over the phone vs app). They offered a high top at the bar- I accepted it as it was promised to have same high level of service. What happened is that we were one of the 4 tables the bartender had to serve in addition to counter folks. So, nothing to her detriment because on these conditions she did well - but the service was not the same as the main floor. Food and drinks were good. I had the lobster and highly recommend the sauce on the side, the carrots were amazing and so was the potato au gratin. Other had the lamb and were very pleased. I’ll try to go back for more when menu gets updates for spring!

    You have my name incorrect on this site. I don't know how but my name is Rhonda Gonzales. Ambiance was great. The servers were pleasant and professional. The food was awesome. I don't mind paying a little more when it all comes together.
