This was our first time here. At first we weren’t sure where to go when we went downstairs so we just went to the bar and were greeted by the nicest older gentleman who got the attention of a waitress. We were early for our reservation but they cleared a table for us and walked us over.We had the nicest, informative, and professional waitress who went over the menu and the evening specials. Karen was a delight! We ordered a bottle of wine, I had a salad and my wife had the butternut squash. The lemon basil salad dressing was home made and was amazing!I had the prime rib which was cooked to my liking. Medium was perfect for me. It came with carrots and mashed potatoes. It also came with a side of au jus and horseradish. Not horseradish sauce sadly. Just horseradish. The prime rib was thin, however had great flavor and I’d order it again.My Wife has the salmon roulade. Soooo good!We had crème brûlée for dessert.Overall it was a great night out. Great atmosphere! It reminded me of my favorite restaurant in Gettysburg, the Dobbin House.We will definitely be back!

1844 was recommended to us & we were thankful!! Crab shrooms , roasted mushroom soup were delish!! Prime rib & blackened shrimp were great!! Peanut Butter pie was yummy! Prices were a surprise for the quality , and hospitality like 1844 provided by the staff is a rare thing anymore!!! We will be back!!

One of our local go-to spots for a nice dinner. Excellent food and service. Great decor.
Treated horribly when we ate there some years ago. Vowed to never go back. Simply because we weren't wearing our most formal attire, they ignored us.

Our first experience this evening at the 1844 Restaurant was definitely one to remember! We had great cocktails and appetizers, followed by the most amazing entrees I can recall ever eating, and I know good food. I so enjoyed my [combination of] Blackened New Zealand King Salmon and Prime Rib done medium rare which came with broccoli and a potato cake (an interesting take on mashed potatoes, similar in size and shape to a crab cake). The salmon was to die for and honestly the softest, most delicately prepared salmon I’ve eaten. The prime rib was equally satisfying, being treated with the same excellent balance of blackened seasoning as the salmon while still allowing the flavor of the meat itself to carry through. Wish we had room for dessert, but our lovely server Karen described the options so vividly that we’ll be certain to save room on the next visit.I also need to mention in detail that Karen and the rest of the staff were fantastic at their job, with Karen being quite possibly the best server I’ve ever had. She is both professional and prompt yet extremely friendly & knowledgeable about the history of the establishment and its charm. She is also kid-friendly as my son is very interested in history and was fascinated by the building’s architecture and decor; this was a unique, long-desired destination that I never got to experience with my amazing late wife who passed away going on 2 years now. We dressed up just a bit for the occasion and Karen went out of her way to make him feel special and it went a long way to making his night along with mine and that of my mother-in-law. I usually take pictures of the food when it’s good and I know I’m going to write a review, but it was SO good, and we were having a terrific time, that I honestly just didn’t care to be honest. Hopefully, my descriptions will suffice for this trip, but I can’t thank everybody enough and can’t wait to come back!

What an excellent restaurant. Seriously, we made an hour long trek to reach this place and I would 110% do it again. The cornbread was phenomenal, the sashimi was exquisite, the salmon and filet was as tender and flavorful as any other meat I have ever enjoyed. Big kudos to the chef everything (including our dessert) was perfectly prepared.The service was also excellent. Our waitress was attentive and a gracious host! She knew the menu well and was able to give us lots of extra info about everything on the menu.I wish other restaurants were ran this well. It's truly and excellent dining experience I know I will be experiencing again!Parking: Tons of parking in a gravel lot behind the building.

I loved this place. Everything about it was old school and charming. The decor was warm and rustic. It's like you're eating in a farmhouse from the 1800's, complete with a working fireplace. I had a reservation (you make it through their website) and was seated immediately. I must say it wasn't busy at all, but the server was with me within a minute. I have a restricted diet, and they were very helpful with accommodating me and making suggestions. They start you out with a basket of some sort of bread. It's like a sweet cornbread. Very good! The menu is small. Mostly meat and seafood. The choices they have are all good though. I had the prime rib, and they were able to add a side of the most fantastic grilled shrimp I've ever had. I'm not a beer or wine drinker. They did have what looked like a nice menu of those options. They also had a full liquor bar. I hear they make a great Tom Collins. The cost was comparable or cheaper then like restaurants. Everyone was nice. The owner showed me out and inquired about my experience. Very nice guy! I'll definitely be back.
