Myself having bartending/waitressing experience this place was horrendous. Food was very good I’ll give them that. Service was AWFUL. Waitress named Lindsay paid more attention to her friends than anyone else in the whole place. Stopped in for a quick bite and a drink and ended up being there for an hour and a half because of the inattentive server. Bathrooms are a mess and the place smells like wood dust and bleach.

This place is a MUST stop. A-bay will ways be a hot stop for me and my mom friends as it's our "mom-stay-away" destination for 10+ years. We have our planned "go-tos" but this year that unexpectedly changed. Our usual place was oddly closed so we figured we'd give 1864 a try and we were impressed. They were more than happy to accommodate our large-ish party last minute! We had to wait 15 minutes due to a previous rush (good sign?), totally understandable, but they didn't miss a beat our entire time there - and we were there a hot minute, never to feel rushed! The tomahawk ribeye... Dare I say divine?! Umm ya, it was DIVINE! AND fesh salad to top it???? And I have to shareI'm a french fry snob and when contemplating writing a review I saw a review about flaccid fries (made me laugh first off) and knew I had to set the record straight... well I asked for mine well done and they did not disappoint! Crispy as a cruncher! I've seen reviews for this bomb-shell being over priced, but let's face it, you get what you pay for! We were by no means disappointed! This is our new "meeting place" on our way to our moms weekend! Live band was bonus! My moves, not so much ?... Try 1864, they won't let you down!

Loved the sirloin tip steak and the mash potatoes was fresh . Loved the service there and the drinks as well. The dinner was priced very reasonable. L

Daniel was an excellent server. I will definitely be coming back the next time I’m in Alexandria Bay in hopes that he’s still there to provide us with another exquisite experience.

In my one experience at this restaurant as a tourist from out of town, I had a young man named Daniel as my server. He offered incredible service & was so polite to my entire family. He was quick to offer refills and make sure we were taken care of, and even sparked up conversation with us when he had a moment. The food was great & the place itself was quite charming. Truly an unforgettable experience.

Had this 8oz filet special last night and it was so good! The meals always are a hit there! The Devils Oven sandwich is so good, prime rib on Saturdays is up there on one of the best I have ever had! There are always different specials each week which is awesome and they have cool cocktails. They have friendly and attentive staff, the bartender is amazing, and the chefs meals are spectacular! 10/10 recommend stopping down here whether it’s for drinks or dinner

In my travels I ended up in Alexandria bay and came to this fine establishment, I had Daniel as my server and honestly he was the best server I’ve ever had, greeted me with smiles knew everything about the menu and was very helpful, if I ever end back up in a bay I’ll be calling ahead to make sure Daniel is there and is available to be my server.

A literally description of 1000 Islands life. From the decor, to the names of the menu items, to the Tragically Hip playing 24/7. The food is beautiful and the service is always on point. A true river rat experience and a must see in

A casual, simple, homely spot that was more downmarket than I expected from reading other reviews. I certainly wouldn't describe it as a steakhouse. It was the only spot open in Alexandria off-season and comfortably busy with mostly local trade.

So glad we ended up coming here and they were open for lunch! The bartender added a brown sugar rim for our pumpkin beer :) Both soups were ordered was fantastic, definitely homemade! Cheese Curd app was absolutely delightful, light and crispy! Finally, the French Dip was made to perfection!Our server, Maria, was awesome! Made sure I had napkins and a full glass at all times! Can’t wait to come back!

Daniel is the most efficient, friendly, capable server! Had a great meal here. Indoors and outdoors seating is pleasant. Great cider selection!
