1844 House

"I have had both positive and negative food experiences with 1844 House. Tonight we ordered dinner as take out and asked to substitute fries, unsalted, for mashed potatoes. I understand the "up charge" concept but 25.00 for two partial orders of fries that were salted and put into the sauce included in the entree really seems over the top. Soggy fries are the worst. I called the restaurant to share my disappointment and got a terse response about the soggy fries and a hang-up before I could say goodbye. Disappointing."

"Although we chose possibly the busiest weekend to visit for our first time, we had an amazing experience. It was parents' week at the local colleges and although the dining rooms were busy, they were not overrun or chaotic; there was always one or two empty tables- which proves the management are knowledgeable about spacing their reservations, and the wait staff were able to be attentive to everyone without being overwhelmed. Our server was incredibly friendly and happy, quick but very attentive and eager to make suggestions and answer questions. The atmosphere is incredibly cozy and eclectic in the main house, and more modern and spacious in the rear dining room where we were seated. We had a lovely view next to the window of the property and gardens. All of the food was exquisite, and very clear that the chef and kitchen staff are well seasoned in fine dining operations. We ordered from every course, and happily took leftovers home. I would encourage the management to invest in an espresso machine for cappuccino etc, but that did not detract from our wonderful visit."

"We were visiting St. Lawrence U and were looking for a nice place to eat after we arrived. Being from an area with excellent restaurants we are always weary of local places when traveling. This is a very nice little restaurant along the main drag between Canton and Potsdam. We were very pleased. Nice, slightly upscale restaurant in the middle of farmland. The waiter was very friendly and made us feel very comfortable. We all really liked our meals and were impressed with our meals. I had the special fish and chips, my wife had the salmon, and my daughter had the French onion soup (which was excellent) and Gnocchi. We would certainly recommend 1844 house if you live in the area or visiting."

"This is by far one of the best restaurants in the North Country. The service is very professional and prompt. We thoroughly enjoyed the filet and meatloaf entrees with the steak tips appetizer. All of dishes were outstanding and beautifully presented. Our kids attend the local university and we look forward to visiting 1844 next time we’re back in town. Thank you for being such a great choice (where there aren’t many) and surviving the pandemic."

"We happened to be about 10 minutes away when the restaurant was opening and found it from a Google search. I visited with my six year old and ordered the French onion soup and Caesar salad [available in a half price/half portion during the first hour of service]. What a perfect opportunity for my six year old son have his first fine dining experience. Kelly was a sweet server and very accommodating with my little guy. I believe that I might have stumbled upon our anniversary destination!"
