The 1844 Table & Mash

"I really want to like this place. As a lifelong Kenosha resident I am grateful for what the developers have done with the former Elks Club to turn it into a destination and event space. I have been to the restaurant twice in the last month. The atmosphere is very nice but the service leaves a lot to be desired. The first time we waited 10 minutes after being seated before anyone came to our table to get things started. I should say that it was not busy at the time. The food on that visit was good, if a bit pricey for what we got. Last night I took a group there and we didn't find out until we got there that they were still using the Valentine's Day "special" menu, which was about a quarter the size of the regular menu and seemed more expensive. Service, again, was a challenge with our server neglecting to bring someone a drink order and then telling us that the bar was really busy. I was literally looking at the bar area from my chair and that was plainly a lie. Three in our party ordered the chicken picatta and while the meat was okay, the bed of pasta had been overcooked into a mushy paste. Two of us had fish fry. The fish was decent but clearly overcooked at the fillet was stiff as a board. It's hard to want to patronize this establishment with the prices where they are and the service where it isn't!"

"We came late for dinner on Saturday night and we had burgers and cheese curds that were very good. The burgers had good flavor and the curds were light, fluffy, and tasty. We also came back for brunch the next day. Hwnc the low score. There were children running around the dining room, the food was sitting out. Missing utensils and serving spoons. Small selection. Service was lacking for not that many people. And the made-to -order omelettes, we cancelled after waiting 30 min."

"Great space and great employees from our experience but the Sunday Brunch is not good. It's basically a glorified continental breakfast. And I've had better breakfasts for free at other hotels. The best thing I ate was a waffle from the waffle machine (the same kind they have at a free breakfast hotel) I wish we would've driven to Mad Rooster and had an exquisite breakfast there for way less money. Disappointed and sad. I had looked forward to this for a while. Don't let the online menu fool you like it fooled me."

"The food is absolutely delicious and exquisite, the service is second to none, immediate and accommodating. The calm and relaxing ambiance is exactly what you need to unwind after the hectic work week. This place will make every cent you spend absolutely worth it. Best believe you'll want to come back over and over again."

"The 1884 is a wonderful dining experience. We went here for a birthday dinner. Enjoy the drinks, the beef, the potatoes, and all the other entrees. We loved the experience and the food, but the services was less than excellent. We waited a while for a few things that were rather standard. Altogether, you’ll enjoy your time here. Make sure you budget your time to check out the hotel and ballroom. A truly beautiful venue,"
