Chic, modern restaurant. The food was wonderful & the service impeccable. The salmon tartare is amazing. A lovely dinner spot.

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 dessert

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.

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!

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.
