My family and I ate here while vacation. The initial impression was good. The atmosphere was inviting, even though everyone agreed the restaurant was so dim you can barely see your food. The restrooms were clean. We ordered around 5:15 and had a party of 4 adults and 3 children. They do not have a children's menu, and the only children's meal offered is grilled chicken and french fries. Honestly, the children's meals ended up tasting better than our food. Our meal took over an hour to come out. There was little excuse for this considering the menu offered less than 10 options. I had Seitan, which I had never tried. It was essentially a thick moist bread similar in consistency to french toast. It could have been good properly prepared. It was served tasteless on a bed of dry rice mixed with what seemed to be the worst black eyed peas I've ever had. Topping that off were grilled red tomatoes, which would have tasted reasonably good, had they been de-stemmed. My wife had stuffed trout and it was mediocre at best. It was served with whole chunks of bitter cooked lemons. My mother in law had beef tips and they were cooked properly, but had no seasoning. Our party included 7 with the children and as such an automatic gratuity was added to our bill. I don't think I've eaten anywhere that included an automatic gratuity at such a low table threshold (6). I think this contributes to poor service. I would have probably tipped 10% had I been given the option. The restaurant was not busy at all and our service was almost as mediocre as the trout. The gentleman waiting on us was polite, but distracted and we had to ask for additional rolls and even refills of water. I normally like to tip 25-30% or more at a nice meal on vacation, but this service didn't warrant such a tip. All in all, I strongly suggest anyone reading this to choose a different restaurant. This one is a bust.

Food was very good, not overly complex, but also no boring. Wine election was decent.The atmosphere is a lot like the food, not overly complex or fancy but not boring either.Service was friendly and engaging. However, it lagged at times and I found it odd that some servers were dressed overly casual.The overall vibe of the restaurant was that it wanted to be fine dining, it was not quite hitting the mark. More of a comfortable place and less of a place I would take a first date or business meeting.I will eat there again.

My cocktail was good and the waiter was extremely friendly. The food however was extremely bland. The chicken tasted like the only thing they did to it was boil it. Barely any gravy. The bread was lukewarm. We will not be back.

Great food and drinks. Timothy was a fantastic bartender. I'd recommend making a stop here if you're in Huntsville. Can't go wrong with the fried green tomatoes!

I was in town for a visit with a dear friend and we chose here to meet have dinner and a drink to catch up. All was fine and our waitress was lovely but after we ate and continued to chat, a man (I assume he was the manager) came to our table and informed us rather rudely that they only allow an hour 45 minutes for each table. We were not told this at the point of being seated nor any other time. We were deciding whether to order something else or leave when he approached our table and asked us to leave! This manager embarrassed us and so obviously he made our minds up right there! The food was just ok at $23 each and after spending over $100 for drinks and entrees I would think you'd be treated nicer. There was no excuse to be so rude! Needless to say we will not be going back and will be sharing this experience with friends and family. If you go be sure to ask ahead what their time limit on the tables is that night. The only reason I gave it 2 stars is the young lady who served us was very nice.

Had a reservation for four on a Saturday night at 1900. The place was super busy but service was still terrific. The martini selection has something for everyone as the did wine list. The fried green tomatoes as an appetizer were fantastic....served with goat cheese and a jelly (can't remember what fruit). Seriously, if you like fried green tomatoes, as any southerner should, do not miss these.The pic below is of the short rib....it was as tasty as it looks. I had the scallop special, and the creamy grits were downright luxurious.It had been a while since visiting 1892....it's now on the rotation list again after a great experience.

good for a huntsville working dinner / private room.
Great meal tonight. The tenderloin was cooked perfectly to order and served hot. The server checked on us but wasn't intrusive. Very pleasant evening.

Food is ok but extremely high and the service is to slow. Act if it's an upscale restraunt, but it's really not.

We recently had an office team lunch at 1892 East with outstanding results! The restaurant worked with us to schedule then change dates for our group to come and have a private room. Everyone loved their food. The service was great. It all ran smoothly, the private room made it so much more enjoyable, and everyone had a good time with a delicious meal.Vegetarian options: The mushroom pot pie is delicious and filling

If you are looking for a more upscale place with good food, don’t waste your time. Even with a reservation and promptly ordering our food we spent about 3 hours here. Over 30 minutes to get a single drink (which the waiter spilled) and almost an hour before a side Caesar salad came out on top of waiting an additional hour for the main course. All of our food was average and not worth the price. Personally I had the short rib, which the waiter said was one of the best things on the menu. I’ve had short rib many times and this one was overcooked, dry, and did not melt in my mouth. In addition, the table with kids next to decided it was ok to play YouTube videos on full volume while throwing food, screaming and breaking glasses. This didn’t help our experience. Honestly very disappointed because we had high hopes when checking 1892 out online. Unfortunately we will not be returning and would like a refund, overall just a very very bad experience.
