Excellent brunch menu and great service. I had the panko breaded chicken breast. It was crisp and delicious. Also, they have many vegetarian options. Overall, it was a very good brunch experience.

Had a reservation for four on a Saturday night at 1900. The place was super busy but service was still terrific. The martini selection has something for everyone as the did wine list. The fried green tomatoes as an appetizer were fantastic....served with goat cheese and a jelly (can't remember what fruit). Seriously, if you like fried green tomatoes, as any southerner should, do not miss these. The pic below is of the short rib....it was as tasty as it looks. I had the scallop special, and the creamy grits were downright luxurious. It had been a while since visiting 1892....it's now on the rotation list again after a great experience.

Went here for my boyfriends and I’s dating anniversary. The place is classy and has a very intimate atmosphere. All of the staff were polite and even wished us a happy anniversary on our way out. I had the Elderberry martini as my drink which was phenomenal. We started with fried green tomatoes and for my meal I got the Salmon. If you like fried green tomatoes, you HAVE to get these. These were amazing!!

We ate lunch here. The food was good, but the service was slow and it was a little noisy. I had the fried green tomato BLT and my husband had the brisket sandwich. The BLT came with an interesting mushroom aioli sauce. They both came with more fries that we could possibly eat. We came here today for lunch. My friend had the burger which she said was delicious. I had the Korean fried chicken sandwich that came with a spicy Korean sauce and a white sauce. The sauces were amazing, and although the chicken was tasty, it was tough. I would have probably sent it back, but our server didn’t appear again until we were ready to pay.

Excellent service with a cozy atmosphere. The beef tenderloin was tender enough to cut with a fork, juicy perfectly cooked, and burst with flavor. I was skeptical of the panko fried green maters (generally, I don't like panko batter), but this chef pulled it off and changed my mind. The onion jam was an amazing addition to the maters and the cheese board. Plenty of draft beer, wine options, and a full bar is available.

Heard about this quaint restaurant from a friend of my husbands so we decided to check it out. Let me tell you, it is a hidden gen. It's so simple and beautiful inside. We had a great table in a corner places diagonally between two huge windows. The hostess and waiter were so sweet, knowledgeable and welcoming. The drinks were delicious, the tomato soup with fresh mozzarella and both my husband and my entree were cooked to perfection. My husband had the tenderloin and I had the chicken breast. We will definitely be back! Thank you guys for the delicious meal and wonderful experience!

Exceptional food and the best burger in Huntsville, but you can only get it during lunch! Vegetarian options: Their vegetarian offerings are always well rounded and delicious

August 22, 2024

Sadly the food was all sadly pretty terrible with the exception of the dessert. Stuffed trout was overdone with nothing more than a couple of limp onion slices instead of stuffing. The broccolini was so hard the table knife was needed to try to cut off some. The succotash was pretty good though. The green beans with the second entree were also too hard and the BBQ shrimp was killed by being overly seasoned. There was only one server for all the tables too so will not complain about the lack of service she was just over extended though very sweet. For the price especially this place was a big disappointment as we had heard a few years ago that it was really good. Its definitely gone downhill if that was ever true.

Overall great experiences for brunch and lunch. Can be a little pricey, but it is worth it, in general. Staff is also great, friendly and attentive. Dinner didnt really meet expectations though. Coffee brisket was definitely subpar as compared to the rest of the dishes. Thankfully we were warned by the server and got the sauce on the side, but since the chef made sauces per order, there was no choice of getting a different side sauce. Therefore the briskets became cold and dry.

My wife and I have been several times since our first visit. Enjoyed the food very much, the chef was very skilled and trout being hard to cook he did an amazing job. My wifes meal was excellent as well. We had a server named Zoë Williamson she was very knowledgeable about the menu and the drinks you guys have there. She was top notch. The second time we came our server was a young lady named Lauren Wright she too was excellent. Not sure where you got them with help being so hard to find. They made our dinner very pleasant.

Food was very good, not overly complex, but also no boring. Wine election was decent. The atmosphere is a lot like the food, not overly complex or fancy but not boring either. Service was friendly and engaging. However, it lagged at times and I found it odd that some servers were dressed overly casual. The overall vibe of the restaurant was that it wanted to be fine dining, it was not quite hitting the mark. More of a comfortable place and less of a place I would take a first date or business meeting. I will eat there again.

My family and I ate here while vacation. The initial impression was good. The atmosphere was inviting, even though everyone agreed the restaurant was so dim you can barely see your food. The restrooms were clean. We ordered around 5:15 and had a party of 4 adults and 3 children. They do not have a childrens menu, and the only childrens meal offered is grilled chicken and french fries. Honestly, the childrens meals ended up tasting better than our food. Our meal took over an hour to come out. There was little excuse for this considering the menu offered less than 10 options. I had Seitan, which I had never tried. It was essentially a thick moist bread similar in consistency to french toast. It could have been good properly prepared. It was served tasteless on a bed of dry rice mixed with what seemed to be the worst black eyed peas Ive ever had. Topping that off were grilled red tomatoes, which would have tasted reasonably good, had they been de-stemmed. My wife had stuffed trout and it was mediocre at best. It was served with whole chunks of bitter cooked lemons. My mother in law had beef tips and they were cooked properly, but had no seasoning. Our party included 7 with the children and as such an automatic gratuity was added to our bill. I dont think Ive eaten anywhere that included an automatic gratuity at such a low table threshold (6). I think this contributes to poor service. I would have probably tipped 10% had I been given the option. The restaurant was not busy at all and our service was almost as mediocre as the trout. The gentleman waiting on us was polite, but distracted and we had to ask for additional rolls and even refills of water. I normally like to tip 25-30% or more at a nice meal on vacation, but this service didnt warrant such a tip. All in all, I strongly suggest anyone reading this to choose a different restaurant. This one is a bust.

Had a reservation at 6:45. Sat down immediately but the server took longer than normal to take our orders. Then our food took 2 hours to get to our table, from appetizers to entrees total time at the table was 3 hours. This was completely unacceptable and our server even made a joke that dessert would come out faster! Lol. Food was also below average. I wouldn t recommend this place to anyone trying to enjoy quality food.

If you are looking for a more upscale place with good food, don t waste your time. Even with a reservation and promptly ordering our food we spent about 3 hours here. Over 30 minutes to get a single drink (which the waiter spilled) and almost an hour before a side Caesar salad came out on top of waiting an additional hour for the main course. All of our food was average and not worth the price. Personally I had the short rib, which the waiter said was one of the best things on the menu. I ve had short rib many times and this one was overcooked, dry, and did not melt in my mouth. In addition, the table with kids next to decided it was ok to play YouTube videos on full volume while throwing food, screaming and breaking glasses. This didn t help our experience. Honestly very disappointed because we had high hopes when checking 1892 out online. Unfortunately we will not be returning and would like a refund, overall just a very very bad experience.

We recently had an office team lunch at 1892 East with outstanding results! The restaurant worked with us to schedule then change dates for our group to come and have a private room. Everyone loved their food. The service was great. It all ran smoothly, the private room made it so much more enjoyable, and everyone had a good time with a delicious meal. Vegetarian options: The mushroom pot pie is delicious and filling

Our fried shrimp appetizer was icy and raw, in the middle. That probably should have given us a clue to leave. My spouse ordered the shrimp entree for dinner and it came with tails, which would have been fine, but it came covered in a tomato sauce that tasted just like Prego. So it was pretty messy to eat. We wont be going back.

Ive been coming to this place for many years and have enjoyed it, but I was disappointed during my last visit for brunch. The server was nice, but the service itself wasnt great. We had to ask for utensils and straws multiple times. We also had to ask for the mimosas that come with your brunch meal multiple times, to the point that I cancelled my additional drink order. It wasnt extremely busy at the time either. We came at opening, 11AM. The chicken was under seasoned and the eggs had a strange aftertaste. Maybe Ill try again in a few months to see if things are back to what I remember.

Had a very good meal here. Nice ambiance whether you sit at the bar or a table. Had the brisket which was excellent but I must say tasted very different from the New York style that I am used to. But it was a nice change. Also the salmon was perfectly cooked and over a very nice sized portion of succotash. Oh. Don t forget to finish your meal with the chocolate mousse (or pot de crème). Great service too.

I have eaten at 1892 many times and was looking forward to taking visiting friends to enjoy my favorite restaurant. The drinks were amazing, the server was amazing, but the food was not up to the usual standards. I had the special, the blackened Mahi and it was perfect. But it was the only perfect meal out of 6. One person ordered the brisket and it looked very much like school cafeteria pot roast. 2 people ordered shrimp and grits. They were served what looked like fried shrimp. Maybe the grits were baked inside? But there was no taste to them at all. This was absolutely not the normal experience, but my friends will not eat there again. I will because I hope this was just a bad night and not the way things will be going forward.

After reviewing several menus in Huntsville online, we decided to go to 1892 East. We were promptly seated at dinner time on a Saturday evening. We had the trout Hemingway and the pork Ragu. The pork Ragu could not have been improved upon. The polenta cake that came with it was amazing. The only criticism that I have about the trout is that I was hoping it would be more flavorful, more stuffing perhaps. For dessert we had the dark chocolate custard which was one of the best desserts ever! I cannot wait to go back. Highly recommend.

I cant believe I havent reviewed 1892 East before now. I wish we lived closer so we could eat here more often. All I can say is that the owners, managers, cooks, and servers must love their jobs, because they do it perfectly every time. Pick anything on the menu and it will come out perfectly. The filet is exceptional; always cooked a fantastic mid-rare (the way I order it). Tonight I had the founder flounder special. Came with tarragon and parsnip mashed potatoes and also green beans. The whole dish was amazing. Our server, Micah, was excellent. I cant recommend 1892 East highly enough. Go as soon as possible.

Came here as part of a wedding rehearsal dinner group this past weekend. It was a group of about 20-25 people. The bride had made a reservation for the private group dining room. Apparently there was two reservations with a similar name that evening. Instead of giving our group the private room that was reserved, they gave it to the other group. Our group was crammed into a smaller dining area and had little room to move or talk to each other comfortably. I asked for an extra chair, as we weren t provided with enough, but I was told that I could not have one. We had to cram even further into the bench to make room. The waiter appeared to act like we were bothersome to him, or he was overly nervous. One of us asked if we could have a small piece of steak added to a salad, and he acted like he had just been asked to repaint the Sistine Chapel. He said he would check with the kitchen and then came back and said We can do it, I just went ahead and charged you for the $30 steak entree on top of the salad, but I m not going to bring you any of the sides that come with the steak . Another one of us ordered a Salmon entree, but the waiter forgot to add it, so it was brought out shortly before we left. Never got any drinks refilled either. The waiter blamed the issues on somebody calling out sick. The food was good, but the service was sub-par for what seemed like a nice restaurant. I was more angry that my friend s had their rehearsal dinner messed up because they weren t given the private dining room they reserved.

My new favorite restaurant. This little gem tucked away in the Five Points area has been phenomenal. Second visit in as many weeks, and another awesome experience. The tenderloin and potato croquettes were fantastic. Steak was tender and cooked perfectly. Have also had the salmon and the pan seared trout, both were also excellent. Micah was my server on both occasions and did a great job. I will ask for him every time I visit. They also have a nice martini list that I will continue working my way through, but so far the Elderberry is at the top.

Wonderful little tavern in Huntsville serving fresh farm to table meals. The tomato soup is to die for. Cannot wait to go back.

Might be my new favorite. For one simple reason: I can hear. Relaxed but not too casual. Good food. Good service. The whole party was happy. Wife had the braised brisket, friend had the trout and I had the Cajun pasta. Solid all the way around. Craft beers, a good wine list and a nice selection of cocktails. We shared a nice cheese plate (could have used more crackers) and we shared a couple of desserts. As you might imagine, an older crowd. But I was so happy to have a nice meal and still be able to hear the dinner conversation that I dont care if anyone thinks Im one of the older crowd. Very pleasant and we will certainly be back. Parking: Street parking and an additional lot across the street.

Went for my friends birthday dinner with a party of 19. The waiter was kind. HOWEVER, the food was not palatable or appetizing, nor was the plating of the food appealing. We spoke to the manager respectfully and were responded with a terrible attitude and we were told that we could leave. The attitude and the manner with which we were spoken to was absolutely outrageous. If 19 people with several different orders are telling you that something is wrong with your food, clearly there needs to be a change.

1892 East Ruined My Birthday :(( First of all, I had created a reservation with the restaurant via phone earlier that week for Friday night (the night I had put on my invitations). Later that day, the restaurant called me back and cancelled my reservation without any warning or recommendation on how to make it right. I then called back of my own volition to reschedule for Saturday night. Things were already off to a bad start because some friends were no longer able to celebrate with me because of the date change. Fast forward to the night of my birthday. Mind you, the restaurant refused to let me make a 7:00 reservation despite there not being any other reservations booked for that time. They insisted it be at 7:30. They failed to mention, however, that the kitchen would close 30 minutes after our arrival. So much for ordering dessert! When the food came out, I had actually excused myself to the bathroom. Imagine my surprise when I returned to hear from all 18 of my guests that they strongly disliked the food. I was told that the Caesar salads were salty and soggy, the chicken tasted like McDonalds, the seitan was dry with an unappetizing sauce...and the list goes on. One of my guests asked the waiter (Jordan, who was the only bright spot in our whole experience) if they could speak to someone regarding their concerns. MIKE the manager came out, and my friend very gently and respectfully shared that none of us were satisfied with our meal. Mike immediately escalated the situation and ordered us to, and I quote, get out! He said he had been serving the food all night and everyone had enjoyed it. He raised his voice at us despite how kindly we were approaching the situation. We all stated that we would of course leave a generous tip for Jordan who had been nothing but kind, but that our experience needed to be made right. Mike in essence threw us out of the restaurant. Jordan came back over to ensure there was nothing else he could do to make our situation better. We CashApped him and left a generous tip. How is it that your waiter is doing the job you shouldve been, Mike? As manager is it not up to you to set the standard for customer service? In truth, the entire interaction had a highly racist tone to it that made all of my (fellow Black) guests extremely uncomfortable. We left and I proceeded to break down in my car, sobbing uncontrollably at how horribly we were treated and how unhappy all of my guests left. I will tell everyone I know to choose literally any restaurant over 1892 East. I will never, ever return there and caution everyone I know to not step foot in such a place where they will be treated with such disrespect.

Delicious and unusual meal. I had half an acorn squash filled with a tomato sauce, spinach, and shrimp. delicious and so tender I could eat the skin of the squash. My husband had a pasta with huge meatballs and a tomato and vege sauce. He brought home enough for both of us to share at lunch. Our friend had a well done beef tenderloin with mashed potatoes and green beans. She said it was delicious and tender. Since most well done steaks are dry, IMO, I think this was a definite win. $23 each for the first 2 and $30 for the steak. Reasonable for a nice restaurant.

Food ; Guest Safety We were seated in the back room at a table that was apparently in an abnormal location. We, or more specifically, my wife learned this the hard way when a service door opened and whacked her on the back of head (see attached picture of our table). It was an honest mistake on the servers part but a complete failure on 1892s management for allowing such a mistake to happen while also offering zero recourse other than an apology from the servers involved.

Over the past several years weve enjoyed 1892. We had a wonderful intimate dinner for 20 all at one table in their smaller private room 8 years ago now. We have enjoyed many a Sunday brunch at the bar making conversation with whoever happens to sit beside us. The other night though, was SPECIAL! We had 40 of our family together for dinner in their larger private room. The tenderloin MR was perfect, veg crisp and fresh, mashed potatoes - of the hook, and creme brulee actually the best Ive ever had. Service timed everything perfectly. Definitely an evening we will always remember- THANKS!!!!

I bet this place is better than what we saw. But, the ceaser salad was really superior. I mean you might say its just a salad but man is really good. Seems like the kitchen might be short of help. So. If the wait hadnt been so long this place would totally be 5 stars. They deserve another chance.

My best meal experience in recent memory, Locally sourced and authentic fresh food results in a meal of excellent quality in regards to taste, presentation, nutritional value, and sustainable practices. It was simply delicious, because everything is so good! Atmosphere included tasteful music, at a civilized volume, which is rare. Low key, tasteful and comfortable decorum, without a hint of pretention, and loads of personality. After dinner coffee served in a French press, with a warmed cup. Best after dinner coffee I ever had. From start to finish it is clear how much thought and love go into every single detail and really resulted for me in a memorable experience. All in a very understated atmosphere, which added to the charm. Our server was personable, friendly, and best of all, authentically so. A++, and thank you!

I want to love this place. Cool vibe and interesting menu. Unfortunately, I was served a pot pie with more than one bit of cartilage, and the filling, though tasty, was dry. Based on the overall quality in developing an appearance of concern for quality I expect to have a better experience next time.
