    This is "Oscar Style"!

    The new owners have definitely stepped it up a notch on the decor; however, the wine list still needs some attention. The oysters on the half shell were very fresh. The lobster bisque had plenty of lobster and a perfect balance of cream. We split the 8-oz. center-cut filet; it was cooked to perfection. However, we ordered it "Oscar Style," and it came with a peppercorn sauce. When we told our waitress, she said that is not possible, I saw him put it on there. Then I got what I assume is the owner, and she told us it was served Oscar style. I know what Oscar style is, but clearly they do not, so I have attached a picture so they can see the difference between the light brown peppercorn sauce our steak was served with and a light yellow bearnaise sauce with crab. We weren't trying to get anything comped, and we left feeling very uncomfortable; to the tune, we won't be back.

    Citrus seared salmon with lobster and sauce, Brussels and mashed potatoes.  Delish!

    Delicious and great service in a fantastic nostalgic Atmosphere! I had the salmon and an espresso martini. Both were top notch. I'll be back!

    This is definitely the nicest restaurant in Jefferson! Both of the owners came by and introduced themselves, and shared some history of the building. It's an 1852 bank building and the 1890s bar was brought in from Kansas City. We started off with lobster bisque and it was awesome! It had huge chunks of lobster! Hubby had the ribeye and garlic mashed potatoes and said it was delicious. I had the pork chop, and it was also delicious and very tender. I loved the peach bourbon glaze! We finished off with the decadent pumpkin cheesecake, which was cheesecake on top of a cake layer. After dinner, we enjoyed listening to music in the back room by The Sultans, the house band. They played mostly 60s-70s rock and were a lot of fun. We really enjoyed our evening at The 1852!

    Our group had a fantastic dinner here in October 2024. Since we were a large party we opted for a buffet-style meal, which turned out to be the perfect choice. It allowed guests to sample a bit of everything offered, and the food was excellent. The wait staff was courteous, and the drink tickets significantly sped up our bar service, which we greatly appreciated. Jefferson doesn't have many restaurants that can accommodate groups as large as ours, but they did an outstanding job.

    The building lmao

    My best friend just graduated and we wanted to celebrate with the family with some live music. Came here and everything was going good. They were busy so we understood delays. But what I didn't understand was why they set our table next to where the band was sitting which was no walk way. So the guitar player literally had to hike his leg over the stage and rub his crotch and body against the back of my young daughter's head and shoulder. Told the owner, they moved the band and then the owner turned around and did the same thing. SMH would not recommend

    Girls' day trip to Jefferson. We decided to each try a different handheld and then split them 4 ways so we could sample all of them. We had a shrimp po boy, a southern fried chicken sandwich, turkey and Brie and a east Texas Philly cheesesteak. Everything was so wonderful. The atmosphere in this place was so nostalgic. You. Need. To. Try. This. Place.

    This is now, by far, one of my favourite places! Atmosphere, good service and solid food are the…read moremain components of a great spot, and this place ticked all the boxes. We sat on the patio, mainly because we have two small dogs, but honestly, I wouldn't have had it any other way. The outdoor seating is literally right on the river, which is something I absolutely love. Granted, visiting in September means there are quite a few insects around, but that's just nature doing its thing! And, of course, being so close to the river comes with its little extras :) The service was absolutely impeccable. Abby, who took care of us, was attentive without being overbearing -- exactly the kind of service I appreciate. As for the food, they brought out freshly fried jalapeño hush puppies (?) (I think that's what they're called), along with fresh coleslaw and pickled goodies. They totally hit the spot! We then tried the cattle fish fillets, which was delicious and super fresh, as well as the grilled shrimp -- so good! The hand-cut fries and fried okra were also great. Honestly, I wish I lived closer so I could make this my regular weekly eating-out spot. Between the riverfront atmosphere, fantastic service and really good food, it's exactly the kind of place I love. And, of course, plenty of free parking!
