Excellent food, beautiful presentation, very reasonable prices. Well worth the exorbitant parking fee for the lot next door.View more

Wat een verrassende plek. Heerlijk gegeten. Het was erg rustig, maar de sfeer was goed.View more

. The salads were perfect, with dressings that were full of taste without overpowering the greens or cheese. I dared to try the catch of the day-ray- & was pleasantly impressed with the subtle taste & soft texture. The lovely wife had the Cavatelli & enjoyed the last of it despite being very full. The shared chocolate dessert was superb. We couldn't have asked for a more helpful & pleasant server/bartendeView more

Rather excellent restaurant, food was amazing & professional service in a modern, but relaxed setting - I took a large portion each of the salmon & beef tartare as entree & main, the salmon in particular was one of the best I've ever tasted Kids had the burger & cedar salad, & crème brûlée & chocolate mousse - they loved it I was slightly less impressed with the wines, but that might just be me, & I would have liked there to be a cheese plate for dessertView more

The athletes omelette with cheese was nothing short of perfection, a true testament to the art of breakfast. As someone who takes the balance of flavors very seriously, I was immediately impressed by how the cheese didn't overpower the eggs but rather complemented them, enhancing their natural creaminess. The texture was flawless-light & airy, yet substantial enough to satisfy. The cheese was evenly distributed, ensuring that each bite was a harmonious blend of savory, buttery eggs & just the right amount of rich, melted cheese. This is the mark of true expertise in the kitchen: knowing when to let each ingredient shine without stealing the spotlight. An absolute masterpiece of restraint & indulgence.View more

Ne passez plus à côté sans voir le restaurant 1881, perle cachée du centre ville dans le club sportif du MAA! Gary est un hôte hors pair & la cuisine de saison est incroyable. Nous y sommes allés cet hiver, hier soir & nous y retournerons bientôt à nouveau!View more

Reserved for my daughter birthday, small group. The food was ok but she mentioned the waiter was rushed & they felt a bit of rudeness from his part.
