1. 1859 Cafe

Save your money & time
Terrible service at a ridiculous price. If you are the type of person who likes to waste an evening frustrating yourself, or thinks "it's expensive, so it must be good," then this is the place for you. We went with friends from out of town, thinking that this restaurant would impress them. Upon our arrival, we realized that we were alone inside the place. Good thing I made those 7pm reservations. After being seated in the least attractive, cold corner of the place, we then learned of their limited bar. Our mixed drinks were each bad enough to send back. Our appetizers arrived cold, and the meal orders were delivered wrong. My wife got the wrong entree completely, but was content to just settle with it. All told, maybe 2% of the evening went well. I wish we'd have contested the bill. Instead, we paid and escaped. Never again.

1859 is a quant place to dine. For ordinary (not the rich) people, it's a once/twice a year dinner, maybe anniversaries or birthdays. We absolutley love the "Warm Pecan Crust Goat Cheese Spinach Salad." I could eat it every week. However there is one thing I don't like it the cabera singer. To sing "I am the Lineman for the County" an old Glen Campbell song does not fit the dinning experience.
