   The food was great, but we were disappointed that three of the bottles of wine that we wanted to order were sold out. We did enjoy the champagne that was provided for the birthday celebration

   This restaurant knocked it out of the park! Hands down, it was the best meal and service we've experienced since moving from the DC area three years ago. From the moment we walked in, we were struck by the elegant yet inviting atmosphere—sophisticated decor, perfect lighting, and soft background music that created an intimate but lively ambiance. Despite the small space, the layout is well-designed, ensuring a comfortable dining experience even when the restaurant is full. The service was exceptional—polished, attentive, and truly professional. Our server, Stacey, made our night out perfect. Every dish was a masterpiece, from the top-tier ingredients to the stunning presentation and perfectly balanced flavors. Yes, it’s on the expensive side, but every bite proved it was worth it. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

   This our first visit to 1870. Our server was attentive, was well versed in the new items and responded to any question or need prompt and courteously. Thanks for a lovely evening

   This was our first time eating st 1870 and it did not disappoint. I got the lobster bisque and filet with mashed potatoes. My wife got the butternut squash soup and chicken breast with potatoes au gratin. Everything was delicious with no complaints. We finished with the blueberry lavender cheesecake. My wife did not care for the flavor but I liked it. On top of all of this the service was impeccable. Food was spaced out perfectly and nothing ever felt rushed. It was a great atmosphere. Dinner was pricey but we knew that going in and it was definitely worth it. We do not treat ourselves often to a restaurant like this so we were happy it was such a great experience. I would have no problem returning.

    It’s a space with five too many tables. Not intimate like I thought it would be. It is loud so conversations are hard to have. Chairs at the tables are not comfortable. With the price of the food I expected an elevated experience.
