The food was good I had the popcorn shrimp with mac n cheese and my girlfriend had the burger she liked the burger. The service was kinda slow waited a little while for anyone to take our drink orders. Overall the place itself is really nice good view as well.

This is my second time here, and O Sea still hasn’t missed. We had a small inconvenience when it came to our squash salad but both the servers and management accommodated us incredibly well. I cannot wait to dine here for a 3rd time!

I've been to 1886 for brunch, happy hour, and dinner. All 3 were excellent. The food is outstanding . The portions are generous and the service is very attentive. Brunch is a special favorite! You cannot beat the bottomless mimosas for $18.86! I highly recommend 1886 for your dining experience!

Always love this place. The owner is always there helping, the staff is always polite, and the bartender Greg even remembered us, after having not been there for about a year. Plus? The whiskey prices are so very good. This should be a model for other restaurants.
