Really nice evening at 1892. Staying in town for the night and looking for a nice restaurant to treat myself to, which there were not many options for. Easy location and parking. Not at all busy and Liz did a great job taking care of me, frequently checking in. The two high points of my evening were my blackberry smash to drink and tiramisu for dessert. Both made in-house with great flavor and texture. Tiramisu had a beautiful presentation, not soggy and super creamy. Baseball seared steak for my meal which was done perfectly and not too chewy. This was served with risotto and au jus. I’m a salt-forward gal and felt like it was all seasoned perfectly. The only thing I didn’t love was a caesar salad to start. Wish I had chosen the risotto balls instead. Salad needed a little more cheese and dressing. A little dry and bland, which did not describe the rest of my meal! Seating comfortable, great music and friendly staff. Menu was super reasonably priced. $10 glass of wine and $24 for crab crakes is so reasonable. Overall very pleased and would certainly come back.

Britney was THE BEST waitress! She did such a wonderful job being attentive and was so fun when we kept joking with her about an item no longer on the menu. She made our experience amazing!

What truly stood out about 1892 was the exceptional service. Brittney, my waitress was very attentive, and genuine. She checked in at just the right moments, were knowledgeable about the menu, and made you feel welcomed from the second we walked in. It felt personal, not rushed, and that made the entire dining experience even better. Everything tasted made fresh and full of flavor. You can really tell the care they put into each dish. So good and worth it!

Brittany was our server, and she was absolutely wonderful! Food was the perfect portion and high quality. Highly recommend the garlic, fried olives and the ravioli. My husband raved about his old fashion and crab cakes. We will definitely be back!

Lovely experience, and very generous portions, despite the emphasis on tapas. I was expecting to need multiple plates to be full, and I’m leaving here stuffed after sharing two appetizers and having the steak frites. Very good, attentive service by Britney and excellent drink selection. I’m hopeful they open for lunch service soon so I can come back more often!

By far THE best food! Everything on the menu is or can be gluten free and taste incredible. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and you can tell a lot of thought went into creating an inclusive and enjoyable dining experience. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. This is exactly what Gillette needed.
