Great place with a beautiful view. Perfect for having some nice and relaxing time with your loved ones. The attention is fantastic and the food is very good too. Totally recommend.

A solid dinner choice and worked well for us staying in the hotel. We sat on the patio on a beautiful evening so the view couldn’t be better. The food was solid - not spectacular. Service is hard to rate - our servers and everyone we interacted with were lovely but it did take a loooong time to get our meals. That seems to be an ongoing challenge here so it was not unexpected and we weren’t in a rush but it wouldn’t be somewhere to eat if you were.

You come to a restaurant, and they kick you out because everything is booked. The waiters don't even pay attention to you, they are waiting for you to go around all the tables yourself and leave here. But the eyes see only 3-4 occupied tables. Others have "reserved" signs. Very unpleasant feeling. The photo is very illustrative. See full house? I don't either...

I visited the 1809 restaurant during a family weekend stay! I had breakfast, being quickly introduced and seated by the host. Their coffee was piping hot, but it was good! The server wrote down my order but missed a question. They were quick to ask before submitting the order, which was great! The food was good, but needed more seasoning. Other than that, the cleaning was quick, which helped promote the cleanliness of the restaurant!

Beautiful view, tasty food, and a dog friendly patio! I loved the chowder and the fish and chips were great. The staff was so kind and accommodating for us to have a table a bit more to the side for our dog to be able to join us.

I recently dined at the 1809 restaurant, part of the hotel, and had a pleasant experience. The food, including the stir-fry chicken and steak with garlic mashed potatoes, was decent but not exceptional. However, the breathtaking view of the river elevated the overall atmosphere and bumped up my rating to 4 stars. The server was nice and provided attentive service. I recommend this restaurant for its scenic setting and relaxed dining experience.

Update: Lived in town for a little over 7 months now as of writing this July 2023, been here lots and the quality is always top notch. Sad that inflation made them take the coffee out of the morning specials, but even at an extra $3 for my meal it's still a decent price. Phenomenal food, very nice fancy restaurant feel with excellent service. My steak with garlic mashed was perfectly medium as requested, and my side order of shrimp, scallops and mushrooms were extremely well done to the point my only complaint is the portion was way too small for $10 for shrimp, and another $10 for scallops... But the $5 mushroom add-on was plenty. The seafood chowder was intensely good, I'll likely order the big bowl next time because I'd need nothing else. The starter nachos were a little light on cheese and toppings but similarly perfect in that they were well done but not burnt so the tortilla chips turned golden brown and the flavour was amazing. My girlfriend had the fish and chips which was also perfect, with extra crunchy fries bursting with flavour. I hope to be back as often as possible to try absolutely everything they have to offer here, I know it'll be great every time! Shout out to Tracy our server, and the kitchen staff, for a job well done 👍 Edit: went back the next morning for breakfast and had a similarly perfect meal. Best home fries in town hands down! Fanciest eggs Benedict too but the hollandaise was a tad thin, but was otherwise delicious. The server was nice enough to inform me the "porridge" is just prepackaged stuff so I opted for the bagel and cream cheese which came out toasted to perfection so much so the sesame seeds had caramelized to that super satisfying point. Another shout out to our server, Kierrah, and the kitchen staff for a job well done.

Not sure how I feel about this place. The views are beautiful. The restaurant is open, spacious and very well designed. The food though, it's a hit or miss most of the time, and today of all the days it was a miss. We ordered a sea food chowder and it was extremely thick and gloppy. It tasted good enough, but the texture was a bit off for me. The Scallops were juicy and well cooked, but for $16 I had hoped for a bit more than 6 scallops on a plate. The Blackened Salmon was okay and my baked potato was fine. The server also forgot our order, forgot the order of the table behind us too. The highlight was the yam fries that my husband got. So, for today, its 3 stars.

Our waitress took forever to get our coffee, my father had to get up and grab the pot and serve everyone in the restaurant. Our food took over 30 minutes and it was soggy. The place itself was beautiful, and amazing view, maybe if there was more staff it would have been better:)

I went there twice during my stay in Miramichi. Classic restaurant-bar. The atmosphere is good. The decor is charming. Prices are reasonable. The menu is varied. The view of the river is a significant asset. The service is adequate. I liked that my waitress could speak French. My first meal (hamburger) went without a hitch. However, the next day, my order was late (problems in the kitchen) and my meal (club sandwich) was not very hot.

September 22, 2024

We stopped here on the way through to Monkton as the food looked good. Honestly, slowest and some of the worst service I ve ever received. Autumn was our server, it took her 20 minutes just to greet us after we were sat. We ordered everything at once so that she didn t have to come back numerous times, Our food was easy food (a salad, a sandwich and a poke bowl) and still took over an hour to get out. Our starter salad took half an hour alone to get. No apologies, no offer to refresh our waters or alcoholic beverages. I had to take salt and pepper off another table and chase down someone to get a take out container. Subpar experience at best.

Hello, I was at your restaurant last week for lunch, great location with a fantastic view. The restaurant was not busy, only 6 tables with customers and 3 servers. Placed our order and was not asked if we would like anything other than water to drink .ok? So we didn t bother. We waited OVER 45 minutes for our food with no communication from our server, that s unacceptable. Once we got our food, no one checked in to see if all was good .only came by to give our bill. Very mediocre. I come to the restaurant every summer when visiting, the service issues are always the same it s like no one cares to improve.

Glacial slow service. You will be routinely ignored for 25 minutes and have to get off your chair and chase someone to take an order. Food once ordered comes after an eternity (and it s not even busy)and of course it s now cold. Nice decor and great view of the river.

Good experience, we ate on the terrace around 8:30 p.m., after a very hot day facing a beautiful sunset. The service was very good, a smiling young girl, speaking French, which made the exchange easier. The aperitifs took a long time to come, but the rest of the meal went well. The food is ok, we had salmon with rice and vegetables, a Caesar salad, an 1809 burger and a pogo childrens menu. The end of the meal was very quick since it was 10 p.m. and the kitchens were closing... I therefore advise you not to arrive at the table after 8 p.m. if you want to take your time.

August 22, 2024

Server was the most rude I have ever encountered. Made a group of 10 up and leave. Bartending staff was nice but if your server is Carmen, ask for someone else. Not sure how this person has a job in hospitality to be honest

★★
August 22, 2024

Food was amazing but service was the worst spent 2 hours if not more waiting on food. I would avoid this place if you don t have all night to wait around in a restaurant. The management needs to consider improving their skills as poor management was evident.

Waited 40 mins for breakfast which was somehow overcooked and missing half the items that came with the meal.

August 22, 2024

Ugh. As a group of 7 plus a toddler, we really wanted to have a good experience at 1809 unfortunately we didn t. After 40 minutes of waiting for food, we asked a passing waitress what was going on and they replied the food was late because there were so many big groups. In the 40 minutes of waiting our waitress did not state that wait times would be long, and did not offer more coffee/ water. When the food finally arrived 10 minutes later, it came one plate at a time, had extremely small portions for the price, and was missing half the ingredients listed on the menu. Ie: breakfast sandwich didn t come with toppings and there was no fruit provided to any of our breakfasts. I understand that restaurants can be busy, but I also know that the staff should show some respect to their paying customers. It s unfortunate because 1809 is a nice restaurant but based on this experience I can t recommend this restaurant to anybody, especially those with children.

The person at reception was super welcoming.....eggs, potatoes and toast were cold, the only sausage I had on the plate was dry. I received coffee when I arrived but afterwards for service we will come back, the 3 waitresses were more busy chatting at the counter. The sugar packets were already open in the jar so I had to ask for sugar, coffee and milk. I dont recommend it at least for lunch time. But superb seen on the water.

I was looking for a place by the water to enjoy a late lunch and I m so glad we stumbled upon 1809! The seafood chowder is amazing as was the Caesar salad and seafood platter.

Had dinner with family and although the service was great, a huge shoutout to Yolanda, the food was extremely disappointing. I had the sizzler with chicken and although it was tasty enough, it was swimming in sauce, way too much sauce. Hubby had the roast chicken dinner, he was extremely disappointed with the meal. You must have chosen the smalles chicken EVER. the chicken or should i say the baby chick because that s how small the thigh was that was on his plate, along with 5 small potatoes and 3 carrots all for the amazing price of 29.00. This was absolutely pathetic to serve. Very disappointing. Definitely missed the mark.

Appalling incompetence dressed as fine dining and we sent back half of our under-cooked and ice-cold entrees. Boiled scallops, microwaved broccoli and over-salted linguine? No, thank you. They couldn t even be bothered to serve our overpriced wine in clean glasses. A thoroughly unimpressive experience from start to finish.

Miss this place if you can. We had a reservation at 6. Very busy day, so I feel bad for the wait staff as they seemed stressed and were obviously doing their best. Despite our reservation, we waited ten minutes to be seated. 30 minutes after being seated, we finally flagged someone down to ask for water since no one had come to our table yet. I asked, if we order now, would we be able to get food by 7? They told us no chance. So we said thank you, but well have to leave. We were with our 3 year old son and we cant push his bedtime back that far. Despite having a reservation for 6, we were ignored for 40 minutes and then had to rush suggestive down to get any service. Overall, wasted a bunch of my time and kinda ruined a night for a 3 year old. Same thing happened to the table next to us. We went down the street to Pizza Delight and we were seated immediately and promptly served - you know, the basics.

March 22, 2024

First off I would like to say/clarify that the service this evening with Arrvel the barkeep and Yolanda one of the serving staff were both great they both were impeccable at their job .however the meal was absolutely terrible as well as the attitude of the chef. I ordered a rare steak. It arrived 35 minutes later and was clearly medium to well done. Pictures attached I had one piece and gave the other person in my party a second everyone including staff said it was over cooked. The staff were nice enough to comp but when they told the chef?/ kitchen staff that it wasn t to our liking they said why did you I eat somuch. The comp steak actually took about 55 mins for a rare steak but was much overcooked than the first.again bar staff agreed and were helpful but what do you do after that?? Steak and service from the kitchen was absolutely unacceptable Thank you Jamie!

It was fantastic and we will be back. Dietary restrictions: They had GF options.

If you ask me which restaurant in Miramichi I choose in 2022, it will be definitely 1809. Today 5 march 2023 i went there with my family and ordered fish soup, fish and ships and the suggested special chicken and ribs! The special wasn t fresh, in fact the chicken started to look brown and the fries were obviously fried 2 to 3 times at least! Then the ribs !! The knife couldn t cut it. Not sure if it was meat or a kind of plastic! I asked the waitress about it, and showed it to her, she said sorry, this might be because it was made 2 days ago (as she said)! For real!! She asked me if i want another dish, i said no, as it will be the same, just plz any replacement of the rib before to eat before driving. She brought me a roll of fish, and at the end when paying i had to pay the price of the special meal (22+tax+tips) + the rest of the order. If i want to eat stones or plastic or garbage next time, i would go anywhere other than this restaurant!

HORRIBLE DURING PEAK PERIODS waiting more than 2 hours for HORRIBLE and OVERPRICED dishes. As the restaurant was far from our hotel, we hesitated to go inside before being served. After several 20-minute delays, the overworked waitress announced that the chefs couldnt serve us for at least 30 minutes, even though we could see other people had already been served. In the end, we were served at 9pm, even though we arrived at 6pm. The food is overcooked and almost unpalatable. The restaurant, which is supposed to be one of the only gastronomic options in the region, CANNOT handle busy evenings. At least the service is friendly and the view pleasant. French: HORRIBLE DURING CURRENT PERIODS waiting more than 2 hours for disgusting and TOO EXPENSIVE dishes. The restaurant being far from our hotel we hesitated to return before being served. After several delays of 20 minutes, the overwhelmed waitress tells us that the chefs cannot serve us for at least 30 minutes, while we see other people already served. In the end, we were served at 9 p.m. even though we arrived at 6 p.m. The food is overcooked and almost inedible. The restaurant, which is supposed to be one of the only gastronomic options in the region, DOES NOT KNOW how to handle busy evenings. At least the service is rather warm and the view is nice.

We were seated and then a server brings us two glasses of water, i told the server i cant have ice water so i asked for hot water with lemon in it....the server comes back with a glass of luke warm water in the same glass as the cold water was in and tells me there are no lemons Hot water goes in a mug not a glass, and no lemons for a place that serves fish and ceasar salad? Not very good.

It was my husbands birthday, so we wanted a nice meal. There were five tables seated and three servers working, plus a bus boy and bartender. It took 20 minutes for anyone to acknowledge us after we had been seated, and that was only because we got up and asked. Our table was dirty, and something was spilled on one of our seats. While we were there, we saw two of the other tables go to the bar to ask for service. Once we got our meals, the disappointment continued. We ordered a seafood platter that was shrimp, grilled haddock, and scallops. There were no shrimp on the plate. When we inquired, they said they were out of shrimp. It would have been nice to know before we ordered a $34 meal that they didnt have one of the main ingredients. The haddock was completely dried out. We also ordered an 8 oz strip loin that was 1 cm thick at best. There was what appeared to be a manager on duty, and at no time did she come and talk to us about our concerns. I do not recommend this establishment. Unfortunate, because it could be stellar if it was properly staffed. Pros: The view is nice, and the pre-made garlic mashed potatoes were edible.

Enjoyed the seafood platter. Local craft beer on tap. Nice meal!

Very disappointing. I got the chicken stir fry, and it tasted like all the ingredients were poured out of frozen meal bag you might find at Costco. Plus it was over cooked, the chicken was dry and the veggies were over cooked and mushy. There was an abundance of peppers, and the broccoli was hard to find. The service was also dry, with the waitress seeming like we were a bother to be there.

Nice location, right on the water, nice service. I had a burger and a salad for starters and cocktails for dessert. Salad and cocktails were really good, unfortunately the burger was a bit dry. Hence 4 stars.

Ordered the steak, server returned shortly after to advise that their were no steaks left. They offered the beef tenderloin as an alternative option, but it was more expensive. Once ordered, the food took 75 min to arrive. Excuse given was that there was a large party of 25 in the next room, but I m not sure how that was my problem since we had reservations. 2 stars only because the beef tenderloin was actually pretty good. -3 stars for service.

We had a dinner on Aug 2nd. We ordered 1809 burger and it was good.however the service is too SLOW the restaurant is not busy that moment it s just like 5pm and we had our orders on our table at 645pm. We ordered a kid meal for my friend s kid. That was fries and chicken strips, and j chicken is not cooked at all. Good thing we checked it first before giving it to the kid! I really like going there for seafood platter but I m really disappointed on the outcome of their service. Staff at night is way different too from the morning staff I noticed. Good service for morning staff.

We had a wonderful long lazy breakfast on the terrasse outside. It was windy and warm and the staff was kind to continue service out there for our touristy enjoyment. This outdoors terrasse is the best selling point of this venue. Its totally worth it. The breakfast is at a fair price for the quality and the quantity was perfect. The steak and eggs and the eggs Benedict spinach were appreciated most. We shared a nice bottle of wine while enjoying the view of the water. Nathalie was our most gracious host; giving us nice and timely service as well as thinking ahead to bring icy cold water on a hot hot day. Please dont miss this place and give the dedicated staff a chance in these difficult times. We were very happy to find this place, with an amazing view, opened and ready to serve us. Thank you and see you soon!

Beautiful location, friendly service, food is not worth the visit. Had the pineapple curry stir fry with beef. No pineapple, apparently it s in the sauce, no curry flavour at all. Was a cheap stir fry with mostly onions! Rice was hard and precooked hours prior.

2022: beautiful restaurant with superb view of the Miramichi River. The seafood chowder was delicious, you really tasted the crab, shrimp and scallops. The linguine is a bit bland though. More sauce would have tied it all together, good portion of seafood. Soft carrot cake, you can smell the spices, just the right amount of icing and a hint of caramel. Courteous service.

1809 restaurant is probably the most upscale restaurant you can find in Miramichi so of course someone would expect to have a fine dinner and great service. My wife and I were celebrating our wedding anniversary along with our son and we were extremely disapointed. First, we waited about 15 minutes for a hostess to show up at the front. When we were finally seated service was mediocre. We all ordered steak to be cooked medium-well, when the food arrived nearly 45 minutes after ordering 2 of the steak were overcooked (charcoaled) and was very undercooked, The mashed potatoes seemed to come from a box and veggies were basically heated up but not cooked. The waitress was informed of the situation yet didnt bring much attention to it. I would have expected they would offer to do the plates over or offer some type of compensation for the meal and the overall evening, but not here. I paid the bill in full then asked to speak to the manager. She informed me that since the bill was paid at this point she could not change anything but had she known prior she could have done something. Funny how the server didnt mention a customers disatisfaction for 3 meals. The manager then went on to say that she will take my name and number and give it to the hotel manager (since the restaurant is part of the Rodd chain of hotels and resorts) she indicated that he would call me the next day. This is now 4 days later and I still havent heard from the hotel manager (Jim). For a place that is regarded as upscale in a small town, I would think that they would pride themselves of that. I do not recommend this restaurant if youre expecting a nice evening out...you can get better service and food at BP.

Nice view, good food, but extremely long wait and understaffed. Poor waitress asked us if we wanted a serving job cause she had too much on her plate.

December 22, 2022

The waiters dont know customer service. No smile and even a poor attitude. After ordering our meal, my boy started feeling ill. I advised the bartender to notify the waitress that we were going to take the order to take out, as it had not been there for at least 20 minutes. The bartender was making fun of us and never messaged him. SERIOUSLY WHEN THERE IS AN 8 YEAR OLD CHILD WHO IS SICK YOU SHOULD HAVE EXTRA ATTENTION. Furthermore, I wrote to them on their messenger and they never got back to me. Then, I forgot to mention that when we got to the hotel room, a full meal was missing. So a month later, all the inconvenience and no refund despite the missing meal and all attempts to communicate with the restaurant.

We thought we would avoid all the hassle and work of cooking this year, so we chose the Rodd 1809 restaurant for their Thanksgiving special. The main course turkey dinner was likely one of the worst we have ever had. The main course was lukewarm when it arrived and had hardly any gravy on it. The turkey was not trimmed so it included some gristle with each slice and the portions were small. The gravy seemed like it was out of store packet. The best part of the meal was the carrot soup appetizer. Contrary what their FB adverized, we were limited to one choice of 1 dessert: toffee pudding cake. Also, coffee or tea was not even included. This was very disappointing for a restaurant like this who are charging $37.00 + tax a plate. The toffee pudding cake was average. The only saving grace and added a star to the review was the service. The servers were good and friendly even though I am sure they could sense we were not impressed by the meal. Save your money and either stay home or spend it at a fall church supper if you want a good turkey dinner because you wont find it at 1809.

The food was mediocre for what seemed to be a fancy restaurant, the burgers were okay as were the fries, however I got the seafood platter which comes with a piece of fish, 3 scallops and shrimp, mashed potatoes and vegetables. Unfortunately, the highlight was the mashed potatoes. The fish wasnt seasoned, the sauce was bland, and the veggies overcooked. It first came out cold and I could tell it was microwaved when it came back. The mashed potatoes genuinely were quite good, which makes it a disappointment since that quality wasnt shared with the rest of the $34 meal.

Picture it, mirimichi 2022, you book at a restaurant for a lovely brunch while on vacation, google reviews look decent so why not. Yeah anyway here we go, booked a reservation, they werent ready, oh it must be great right, not full and waiting on a reservation, wrong. Look around too see this pretentious place isnt even painted correctly, its dirty as well. We have to manoeuvre around dirty dishes and other tables to get to ours, 20 seconds after seating a waitress asks what we would like, I replied we literally just sat down... We will have coffee though, lovely no stirring device and the waitress is off texting, I guess Ill go find my own. Ordered from the menu and it took some time, ran out of coffee, no waitress to be found. We finally get our food and the waitress refills our coffee, no utinsels (off to forage for some myself...again). The meal itself may as well have been hot garbage, anyone who gave this more than one star doesnt have taste buds, this place puts on a good front but the steak was the lowest quality I think Ive seen in a very long time and my scrambled eggs resembled a rubber chew toy. Not once were we asked how our meal was not even when the waitress came at the end and didnt ask if we were finished, just dropped the machine, i suppose with the amount of food that was left she gauged it, but in fairness she wasnt on her phone at the time which was a first, seriously go and get a gas station submarine and save time, frustration and way more money than you should have to spend. Oh the Multi grain toast was delicious and thats what the star is for

The view is great on the river but we are still waiting for our dishes (1 and half an hour now, its horrible)!!!! Very bad customer experience :( And finally, the food is very bad. I took a stripoloin medium rare and vegetables plus mushrooms on the side : - the vegetables are not cooked just boiled - the steak is just overcooked - the mushrooms are burnt The burger that one on my children has ordered is worse than McDonalds In conclusion, it should be a bad day for the chef but its a very bad experience for us.Poor waitress who is in the frontline. The management shouldnt take more customers when the kitchen cant follow the orders!!!! Please fire the Chef, meals at the hospitals are better than his.
