We got there right before closing and they were packed but they managed to get us a table. Turned out great . The atmosphere was warm the music was nice The musician was talented. We were in the same room and you could still have a conversation I appreciated that. We got lucky that night getting the table without reservations and that late. Thank you 1862!

Had the Thanksgiving Day buffet today. Not many selections. Had the regulars for Thanksgiving, but honestly the best thing was the mashed potatoes and gravy. Carving station attendee seemed nervous and meat thickness was all over the place. Some desserts dry while others were okay. Definitely more of a $40 buffet rather than $70.

Great place! I was very impressed with my visit. The food was delicious, the dishes were served quickly, and everything looked beautifully presented. The staff were polite and attentive, and you can really feel that they care about their guests. The atmosphere is cozy, clean, and comfortable with nice background music. I’ll definitely come back again and gladly recommend this restaurant to others!

It is a nice restaurant with a nice view. The food was good, service was a little lacking. My only issue was they were out of alot of things on the menu. When I ordered the prime rib they brought it and it was way over cooked and hard to cut. I think it was reanimated from the prior days service. They replaced it with a ribeye which was cooked beautifully and well seasoned. Overall it was a lovely meal with a lovely view. I believe they had a huge weekend service and we visited on a Monday.

It’s a beautiful place, with a unique and thoughtfully decorated interior that really stands out. The only downside was that the food was just okay—nothing particularly special or memorable. Our waiter also took quite a while to take our order after we were seated. Other than that, everything else was great.

Sigh, what an unpleasant experience. Not sure how or when things went downhill. We knew it will be a busy night so made reservations. Unfortunately our reservation (6 adults and 2 children) was mistakenly recorded for a different day. You would expect that the hostess was apologizing and trying to help, but looked like she was not even recognizing that a mistake was made. We should have left then … We thought since any dining place is too far, we will just wait an extra hour at the bar (the serving at that place is another story). We finally got a table (not the one promised) — we got Dave’s table, see the review below. That was fine with us, we were just happy to be seated. Like I said we had two children, it was getting time sensitive to give them dinner. After 20+ minutes we still did not even get someone come by to take order for drinks let alone our dinner order. After 2+ hours and an argument with someone who looked like the manager/chef/waitress (he seemed to run around from the kitchen, to the tables, to the bar) we were finally served. By then half of our group gave up and left. The most surprising piece was the attitude. No apologies until the end. There was a person from the kitchen who sounded like he has been cooking (but also serving at the table) seemed like he genuinely felt bad. The rest of the staff is unbelievably careless. They seem to have favorites and tables, which explains the discrepancy in ratings. This ship is sinking. They really need to get more professional. Worst experience ever.
The food was 5 out of 10 also …
I really don’t recommend this place. The restaurant is nice, indeed. But the service absolutely horrible.

This place is a great stop. I had a perfectly cooked filet, I dove into that steak, and couldn’t stop, and forgot to get a photo! I got a photo of their cherry cobbler. It was also very good. The service was excellent with a nice lady taking us to our table, and the waiter Chris was very helpful and a great server.
The atmosphere is nice as well.

Okay so this app tries to make it easy and recommends a generic review. That generic review misses all the points and does not do justice to this fine establishment.
First I must tell you: you need to order the pizza.
Have you ever had East Coast wood-fired or coal-fired pizza? This pizza is the closest thing to that I’ve ever had on the West Coast. I literally had to ask Jayson if they were hiding a coal-fired oven back there. The pan pizza crust is beyond crispy — we are talking an undercarriage to die for, cheesy crunch you dream about in distant realities. The kind of far-off places you wake up from and think “that can’t exist”… except it does, right here.
This is the best pizza I’ve had on the West Coast. Anyone can have good cheese, quality ingredients, and a solid sauce base — but this crust, my gawd. You need to try this crust.
The beer options are always solid. I personally prefer the Revision over the Atomic IPA. With that said, if you like crisp, clean IPAs with great bouquet and not a lot of complex malt flavor, their Atomic IPA is the best thing to pair with their pizza.
I was blown away by the Able Baker Amber Lager. It was a wild card. They have it listed as an “Amber” on their menu, and most people would assume that means an Amber Ale — it is not. It is an Amber Lager. This is not just a different division, it’s a different sport. They need to list this as an Amber Lager on their menu.
This Amber Lager channels the energy of Yuengling Traditional (only available on the East Coast, best amber lager in the world) and a Sam Adams Boston Lager. This lager’s crisp, clean, easy-to-guzzle profile is a clear sign of decoction mashing. Believe me: if you normally can drink a pint with dinner, you will be able to drink 2.5 pints with this beer. It’s light, smooth, malty, not bloating, and incredibly complex (a byproduct of the decoction mash process).
Now, the most important part of the evening — Jayson, our guide on this journey. He offers incredibly good service and is quick to figure out what your palate is looking for. Just tell him what you want, and he will make it so.
I also want to make a final recommendation:
If you like an Irish coffee, or you are a woman with a more discerning palate but want a bit of a caffeinated boost to your evening, ask for a “Copper Coffee.” The ingredients are:
Butterscotch schnapps
Vodka
Vanilla extract
Irish crème or just crème
Coffee, topped with whipped cream (optional, if you need a naughty dessert to keep the night rolling)
The Copper Coffee is off the menu, but I recommend asking them to make the coffee a little richer when they prepare it. A bold cup with these ingredients is incredible.
Thank you for reading this in its entirety, and I hope I have been a reliable guide.
Cheers!

This was the worst dining experience I have ever had in my life.
We made our reservations 3 weeks in advance for Thanksgiving dinner buffet style, for a party of 8 people. We confirmed our reservation a week in advance since we had friends and family coming in from out of town.
We arrived 5 minutes early, my wife approached the podium where a hostess was standing, fiddling with some receipts. It took a minute before this hostess (Paula, who I discovered was actually the restaurant manager that night) looked up and acknowledged my wife. My wife provided our reservation information, and Paula responded OK, let me check on your table. After a few minutes, Paula came back to the podium and proceeded to seat 2 other parties that arrived after us. When she returned to the podium, I asked her if our table was ready yet, as we had now been standing in the lobby for about 15 minutes. She asked for the name again and then said Oh, they are still working on your table. A few minutes later, we were seated at the table seen below. The table was up against 2 walls and had 2 large tree stumps running along the outside of the table. The 3 chairs that were located on the left side of one of the tree stumps would not fit, so our guests could not pull their chairs up to the table. I found Paula and said that this table and seating were unacceptable, as our guests cannot even get their chairs up to the table. I asked if there was a different table, and she responded that you could sit upstairs, but then you would have to take the elevator down each time you wanted to visit the buffet. I declined that offer and asked if she could find 3 chairs that would at least allow our guests to pull their chairs up to the table to eat. She searched around the restaurant and brought back 3 chairs that would now barely fit the space, but at least did allow guests to sit at the table.
Within a few minutes after being seated, Paula returned to our table and said, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we just ran out of Prime Rib15 minutes ago. We were all disappointed, as you can imagine.
The buffet line was very disappointing. The turkey station had one large chunk of white meat turkey breast, no dark meat, no turkey legs, no wings. The sides were mashed potatoes, stuffing, green beans, yams, gravy, cranberry sauce, etc. The quality of all the side dishes was OK at best.
After our entire group returned to our crowded table and sat to begin eating, the Chef came by our table and apologized for running out of Prime Rib, and offered to cook some Rib Eye steaks for us. Most of us were so disappointed at this point in time, we just wanted to finish our meal and leave, but a few guests did accept the Chef’s offer to have some rib-eye steaks cooked. The steaks arrived in about 10 minutes and were pretty good, although they didn’t replace what we could have enjoyed with some freshly carved medium-rare prime rib.
One of our guests went back to the buffet line early to get a dessert. When she returned, she had a brownie, a piece of red velvet cake, and one piece of pumpkin pie. She said of the 4 desserts displayed, these were the last 3 pieces of each of these desserts, and the only other dessert left was carrot cake.
We had planned to sit around for a while after dinner, talk, and enjoy socializing with each other. However, after what we had just experienced, horrible seating, poor service, bland food, and the bill of almost $800 after tax and 18% gratuity ($69 per person), we all just wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible and try to rationalize what was truly THE WORST DINNING EXPERIENCE WE HAVE EVER HAD.
My wife and I have dined at the 1862 restaurant several times and we have found the food to be very good, the ambience to be nice with the view, the servers have always been friendly and accommodating, and we had planned to visit the restaurant again in the future. However, after this horrible experience, we will never return and never dine at the 1862 restaurant again.

Great looking place. The hostess needs to retire. Had reservations for 6:15 couldn’t find us so she wrote it down on a piece of paper. Tell us that she had to take 6:00 people first. After waiting she calls a different couple up and tells us she needs to take 6:15 people first… so we had to remind her that we did have reservations and that she wrote the name down on a piece of paper. When we got walked back to our table more than half of the restaurant was empty.. waiters were great and nice. Food was just meh.
