The 1851

Stopped in for my boyfriend’s birthday dinner last night and we were both blow away by The 1851 Kitchen & Cocktail Bar. We started off with an old fashioned and Plum Perfect, both were delicious and flavorful. We ordered the bone in buffalo wings which were seasoned to perfection, lightly sauced & very very crispy. For our entrees he got the peppercorn crusted steak with whipped mashed potatoes and broccoli and I got the braised short ribs over whipped potatoes, Cabernet au jus & crispy onion strings .. everything was cooked perfectly and the short ribs fell apart.. sooo good. We were stuffed to the brim.. but when we heard about the sticky toffee cake.. we had to order that along with an espresso martini & Guinness. When I tell you I will be dreaming about this warm gooey treat.. I mean i

Our waitress, Canadace was great from the start. Attentive and checked on us plenty of times. The tuna (I ordered medium) was delicious. The wasabi makes it amazing. I added risotto which was perfect made my meal complete. My wife got the pickled hen. She enjoyed the chicken sandwich. The fries were good as well. old fashion 1851 was perfect, had maple, but not over powering. Our friends had clam chowder and chicken Milanese. Both meals were delicious. We will definitely be back.

The 1851 was amazing! I went for friends and family night and the staff was so welcoming and the food and cocktails were delicious! I got the chicken caesar salad with the lime in the coconut margarita and it was very good. I will definitely be returning here!

I want to love this place because it’s so close to home and I’ve followed the other businesses run out of here over the years. The reality is this - it’s the same old place, probably with less quality on the food side. The chicken in my chicken sandwich was fried so long it was tough to the chew. The flatbread was sloppy with way too much cheese and sauce. My Old Fashioned was made to perfection, but for $15 a drink I’d expect as much. The server was friendly and responsive.

Absolutely loved dinner here! Had dinner last night and everything was incredible. The chicken Milanese was perfectly crispy and topped with fresh arugula and cherry tomatoes — full of flavor and beautifully done. My cocktail was gorgeous and perfectly balanced, and the staff couldn’t have been nicer or more attentive. The whole place has such a warm, stylish vibe — you can tell there’s real passion behind the food and the atmosphere. It already feels like one of those spots you can’t wait to bring friends back to. Highly recommend checking it out for dinner!
