My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary at 1861 for the first time. It was a beautiful Good Friday! I was expecting the restaurant to be bustling since we had a reserved table at 12:30, but it was surprisingly quiet – almost too quiet for my liking. The restaurant is known for being special, and it's clear why with Chef Simon's credentials. The food was superb with unique and flavorful dishes. The wine list was also excellent. We will definitely be back, although I believe my older husband enjoyed it more than I did. It's not the type of place you'd visit frequently, but rather season by season.

This restaurant is exceptional. We received a warm welcome and enjoyed a pre-dinner drink with delightful homemade snacks in a cozy bar. We had plenty of time to choose from a very appealing menu.

Unfortunately we were the only persons in the restaurant for most of our visit. The waitress was a little severe in her method of service and we sensed we needed to leave before we prefered. The food was acceptable but very expensive for the type of restaurant it is advertising. I realise it’s always a problem when you are the only party eating.

The food was really good, specially the deserts we have chosen a degustation plate with 5 mini desserts to share and was wonderful. I didn't rate the food as outstanding because I didn't like it too much the first dish that I choose (the venison), but the restaurant has 2 rosettes, and the rest of the food was really good.
