Food was excellent. Really innovative cooking the lamb sausage was outstanding. I would definitely go back.

Food service & ambience was excellent! I will definitely go back Port Chester needs more good restaurants off this kind. read more

1881 Kitchen Table was absolutely amazing. We have been considering going for a couple of weeks and weren't able to get same day reservations. Now that we've been, I can absolutely see why. The ambiance is great. Love the decor and it generally feels like a nice place for a date night or even just a nice night out with friends. The staff is attentive and very nice. But the food. The food was amazing. We started with the Little Mezze with the grilled bread and we also got the char grilled octopus. Both were amazing. We sat and ranked each dish on the little mezze, because it was all fantastic. Complex yet clean flavors in each dish. The eggplant was just a delightful, complex, balanced dish. The grilled octopus was possibly the best octopus I have ever had. The char had a great flavor. It was perfectly tender. We next had the schnitzel and the beet salad with salmon on top. The schnitzel was so crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The salmon was so nicely cooked on top of the salad. We saved room for dessert and had the sundae and the cheesecake and they were completely different and both stupidly good and very unique. This place was overall amazing. Homerun and one of the best dining experiences as of late and a definite must come back. read more

This was our second time. Totally in love. Great service, amazing vibe. Thoughtfully decorated. Lamb kebab mint salad and French fries, roasted cauliflower, beet salad orange, Gambas, calamari nice green dipping sauce, mezzi plate I loved the hummus but the table voted the eggplant to be the star, perfect sweetness The Bread! Made in their brick oven. Please save me from myself! Lychee gin Negroni. Also deadly. Goes down so easy and then it hits you. We ordered several! Designate a driver! Make a reservation if you're coming after 6pm! read more

Amazing food, the steaks are worth a visit. Very beautiful ambiance, gives city vibes.

A wonderful meal! We had a delightful experience from the moment that we entered the restaurant. The space is inviting and comfortable. The cocktails are creative and tasty. We shared multiple small plates and a pizza: - the wood-fired Shishito Peppers were nicely charred and salty. - the spice profile of the Moroccan Cigars was interesting. - the flatbread and Smoked Labneh was delicious. The flatbread alone was memorable. - The Potatoes in the Lahmajoun Pizza, combined with the Mediterranean Spices are a reason to return! The service was helpful and efficient, even though the restaurant was crowded. read more

Came here for Sun brunch. Open at noon. They gave each tsble a complimentary Mezze Bowl which is delicious. We order hummus (have to take it to go), burger and shakshuka (also comes with bread and hummus). Everything is so tasty and made just right, while service is top notch. We also love the decor, so much to look at and admire. Is our 3rd time here and will be our go to place. read more

Dined as a party of 4 on a Friday for early dinner. We ordered a few things to share, including the coconut mocktails (which were refreshing) and everyone thought that the grilled squid was the best dish of the night. We shared the burger, fish moroccan cigars (which were were informed is a new addition to their menu, and took over an hour to make from ground fish, appreciated that it was fresh, but it came well after all the entrees so timing was an issue, and would've been nice if we were given a heads up that it would come after the entrees, we were just told that it would take some time). Of the other dishes we shared, they were all ok, and we still said that we would return for the squid. High ceilings, very busy for a Friday, res recommended. read more

Great food choices, great vibes and perfect for bringing clients/friends. I will definitely be back on my next trip up north. The place gets extremely busy, but the service was timely throughout. We ordered a number of various tapas. All were outstanding. The place is a bit noisy when trying to have a more quite conversation, but a great happy vibe in the place. read more

(Edited) Great food and atmosphere, elegant decor. Easy parking is a bonus! Every dish is very flavorful and creative. We came here for brunch, and ordered hummus, shakshuka, schnitzel, lahmajoun pizza and another pizza. Hummus and shakshuka came with home-baked bread. Definitely get them. Bread was so fresh out of the oven I almost burned my fingertips tearing off pieces. Lahmajoun pizza using Mediterranean spices makes this dish a completely unique creation. And don't forget desserts! The Silan Sundae was very good. All for a very reasonable price. We are definitely coming back very soon. Reservation is a must. The place was packed for Sunday brunch. Parking Tip: There is a spacious parking lot in the back of the building. You can not enter the restaurant from the back door. Free parking on Sunday! There are also free parking available in the lot in front of Colony Grille off Abendroth Ave, which is a bit more walk. read more

I really enjoyed my meal here and I must say, whoever designed the restaurant did not miss one detail. Everywhere you turn, you can tell that someone put extra thought into what they purchased,, and I strongly feel that that mentality follows in there ingredient purchases. I had the cheeseburger, and yes, it is expensive, but when you compare it to the prices of a cheeseburger in any number of places, the extra cost is worth it. I like my cheeseburger medium, well, and it was still juicy. Look forward to my next visit. Highly recommend. read more

Very cool, well decorated space. The designers did a great job honoring the age of the building (built in 1881, thus the name). We arrived for our Thursday 7:30 reservation and were seated promptly. Unfortunately, that's where the good service ended. We wound up ordering food about 45 minutes after we sat, and not from our waitress who was both nowhere and everywhere but at our table. No apologies from her when she did reappear. Alcoholic drinks came but the sparkling water had to be asked for 3 times. So bizarre. 5 of us ordered 6 starters, a salad and a pizza. Every single plate was put on our table at the same time (a table for 4, with someone at the head). Plates were overlapping each other and things were dropping. It was a mess. The ceasar salad was delicious as were the portobello mushroom small plate and the sunchoke and mushroom pizza. The flatbread that comes with the mezze bowls was so amazing that we ordered a second one. The calamari was very well cooked, as was the octopus. The cigars were very flavorful. The tuna was tender, but not very exciting. Dessert was lacking, like the service from our waitress (support staff was lovely and helpful). Will definitely return because the food was that good - just hope the service reflects the caliber of the food next time read more

This place is new and is SOOOO good!!! Everything single dish we ordered was delicious and I was guided by other Yelpers and their reviews. The decor is sorta industrial farm and almost romantic too. Staff are friendly and checked in with us regularly. The owner came by to thank us for coming and asked how our experience was. The bartender is serious about his craft. The cocktails were deceivingly strong. They did not taste it! Great flavors and I love the dried fruit garnishes. The bread they bake is to die for!! And the dips are all delicious; some familiar and some new. I liked all of them, especially the green herby one that reminded me of chimichurri but so much better. Grilled octopus was so tender and perfectly grilled. The beef cigars had wonderfully seasoned beef inside a crispy roll that was not greasy. Yum!! We had a salad, and I do feel the cheese was excessive...but we still ate all of it! The lamb pizza...oh yes! I've never had toppings like this on a pizza. And the crust was perfectly chewy and crispy. Roasted chicken had so much flavor and was tender and juicy. Call it perfect. And the broccoli rabe with potatoes on the side were demolished. Lastly we had this coconut dessert that tasted like it had some form of peanut butter. I literally stuffed it into my full belly. Great flavors. Many options. Fun drinks. Cool atmosphere. Must GO!! We are definitely going again to sample some things that we just did not have enough space in our stomachs for!! Burger is next for sure. read more

Such an awesome experience! Each time I visit 1881, I'm more impressed. We were a group of six so we shared a lot of things. We of course split the mezze platter, which was phenomenal. We ended up getting more of that amazing bread since one was not enough. For apps, the merguez lamb was a standout. Spicy and tasty, it was such a good start! Everyone also enjoyed the tuna and Hamachi dish. For main courses, the ribeye was perfect! We also split a burger among a few of us. It was a phenomenal burger! Finally we ended with a cheesecake that was quite literally one of the best cheesecakes I've ever had. The table agreed with that assessment. Overall a fantastic experience with amazing food.

So bad, it's negative stars. From the start it's a beautiful space and there is a large bar on the left as you walk in and that's where the positives end. The service is UNACCEPTABLE! People feel uncomfortable with how rude the staff, bartender and host are. It's completely unacceptable to treat people in a restaurant the way the staff does. If you stay long enough for a drink or food it's even more disappointing. Food is average, service is poor and there is ZERO ambience/music/ happiness. Not worth time, energy or the space it's in. Owner/Management listen: fire your staff and start over. I won't be back + neither will anyone with common sense. Better options in port Chester than this rat hole. read more

The food here was bland, atmosphere was lovely, drinks were tiny and mediocre at best. Price is too high for what they are offering. Of course, if the prices were what they are and the food was excellent, this won't be an issue because they would show the value. But this is absolutely not the case here. I think people go for the ambience, which to me is important, but in this case not worth it. We had a nice waiter initially who took our drinks order, but it seems that the waiters switch around and then for most of our dinner we had an another waiter who seemed to feel too good to be a serving us, making it a more unpleasant experience. read more

I am so excited I found this amazing restaurant. The style and decor is "warehouse chic". Such a cool space in Port Chester. I actually wish our table had been larger so we could have ordered more to try. The service started slowly as we awaited our cocktails, but picked up as the evening continued. I highly recommend 1881 Kitchen! read more

After attending their opening night 1year ago.. it was time for an updated review. HAPPILY: the food, service and ambiance remain FABULOUS!

Make your way to 1881...you will NOT be disappointed. A reservation is suggested. read more

We had a wonderful experience and evening at 1881. Very crowded Saturday night but able to score two seats at the bar. Some of the bar seat locations are better than others given the proximity to the front door and some pretty close tables. None the less, the bar is a great place for 1-2 people and the service at the bar is top notch. Three people behind the bar that night and everyone was happy to take an order, make a drink, get you some extra bread, whatever. Cocktails are good. Go for something "traditional" like martini or manhattan verses a mule. Beer selection "okay" but the food is better paired with wine and cocktails anyway. The hummus was fantastic but even better was the bread it came with. Outstanding. The lamb kebab was a great main dish but was surpassed by the branzino. Hands down the largest serving of branzino we have ever seen or been served and the prep and taste were phenomenal. Best branzino ever and we order it a lot. Only downside, the place is pretty expensive but what isn't today and at least it is well worth it. Go and enjoy read more

Went here for the first time 2 weeks ago. The owner and manager are extremely accommodating. Treated me and my friends like family. Just went for drinks. Can't wait to go back and try the dry aged tomahawk looks money . Ambiance is spot on and crowd is mature, professional and attractive. Great spot!! read more

A true gem in Port Chester, especially if you're serious about steak. The dry-aged ribeye was exceptional--rich, buttery, and perfectly charred. Every bite was perfection. They dry-age their steaks in-house with Himalayan salt, and you can actually see the cuts aging! The Old Fashioned was spot-on: smooth, balanced, and crafted with care, pairing perfectly with the depth of the steak. The ambiance blends historic charm with modern style, and the staff makes you feel right at home. If you're looking for a place to enjoy a top-tier dry-aged steak with a classic cocktail, 1881 Kitchen Table is it. read more

Food was excellent with great varied selections. Service was top notch and restaurant was beautifully appointed. Highly recommended

Very dissapointed in our food and service. Food was greasy and bland. So many great Mediterranean style restaurants around. Would never go back to 1881. read more

I finally tried this gem, and I'm so glad I did! Eugene's Diner used to be in this space, and I wanted to see how they redesigned it and the food. The ambiance is very modern and chic. We were beyond pleased with every course. The lamb pizza is a standout. Fantastic flavor with Middle Eastern spices. The Mezze dips and flatbread are a must. Recommend two orders if you have more than three people because the dips and bread are fantastic. The steaks were well seasoned and good a perfect medium rare. We received complimentary champagne and Crème brûlée; both were delicious. read more

Went to dinner being in the neighborhood. Called the place up and the receptionist was nice enough to hold a table for 2 upon entering we seated right away, loved the vibe, atheistic of the place and was hoping the food can match. Our waiter promptly arrived , no specials and was pretty straight to the point. They require you to order all the food at once. Ordered the cigars, artichoke pizza and the brick chicken. All were good, the bummer no French fries....not a big thing but who runs out of French fries at 8:45pm on a Friday night. Some advice to the kitchen no restaurants runs out of fries....no matter how busy it is. Anyway overall good experience, parking is rather difficult to find which made us a few mins late. Would return to try other items. read more

Food was good but over priced.Drinks were definitely over priced beeeee careful with liquor price .. Don't forget it's just PORTCHESTER .. not NY city , not CT .

First time visiting this restaurant. Amazing!! The restaurant is beautiful. Great vibe, although a little noisy. Our server Joey was helpful, courteous, friendly and attentive. The food was amazing and plentiful portions. We were four people and each ordered something different. The Bronzino ,one of the best I've had and the mezh platter too. They make there own dough so the bread, although you have to order it is worth the price. The pizzas looked good . Maybe next time Don't pass on the sundae for dessert!!! We all shared it. Will definitely be back read more

I went to the soft opening of 1881 Kitchen Table. I could not believe the beauty in every detail of the restaurant from the light fixtures, to the wooden tables, to the zinc bar, to the custom designed booths... the hardware, the fixtures and the atmosphere ... it is all so stunning. And the food is decadent- beautifully plated, perfectly portioned and amazing flavors. I wanted to eat more but I was so stuffed. Lastly the staff was so pleasant, helpful and conscious of our needs. Amazing experience with delicious food. Well worth the drive from Jersey!! read more

first, the restaurant was gorgeous. A Moroccan vibe with natural woods and beautiful floors. Everyone was so friendly. The owner of the restaurant came over to us to make sure we were having a fabulous time and took care of us the entire night. The menu was extensive and interesting. Everything we tried, which was many things was so good. The bread for $10 seems very high but so worth it the best bread I've had in my life run to this restaurant. read more
