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!
