1855 Saloon and Grill

Loved the decor and ambiance-my daughter and I sat on the patio and it was quiet with a nice view. My daughter ordered from the kids menu. The pizza was ok; the "fruit cup" was a dish of canned fruit cocktail. Not very impressed. I ordered a stuffed flounder. I thought the crab stuffing lacked its own flavor. The dish was covered with a good tasting cream sauce, but there was way too much sauce. I should have ordered it on the side.  My salad was quite small.  There was a nice list of wines available by the glass, and the cheesecake was delicious and a good-sized portion for sharing. If I go back I will try a steak after reading other reviews.

Great place for steak.. Good customer service every time!

So the saloon was pops' idea, and the sad thing is it is a really good looking restaurant - gorgeous interior, great pictures from the 18 and early 1900's, a wood fired grill, and a great atmosphere.  But it is all show and no substance.

1855 has no soul.

I've been here three times now and each time left me disappointed.  The first time I ordered Bruschetta and they served it to me first before telling me they were unable to toast it because their grill was down.  It was not good.  

The second time I was at 1855 I ordered the Reuben and it may have been good except the toast they served it on was soggy on the bottom, like it had been sitting for a while before being served.  Plus no thousand island dressing, and that might as well be a crime where I come from.  

Pops wasn't happy with his Panini, and I gotta say it didn't even look appetizing.. another crime in my book.  

A new lead cook is in order.  Possibly stricter adherence to food ethics.  1855 is a mighty good looking restaurant with nothing to offer once the lust is gone.  

Don't you just hate that?
