    My husband and I had the distinct pleasure of dining at the 1833 Kitchen & Bar tonight to celebrate our anniversary. The restaurant is beautiful. The wait staff is excellent. The food was outstanding, from the focaccia bread to the main dishes. The lobster stew was full of lobster meat and was a delicious light curry, full of crunchy stir fried vegetables. The halibut was spicy and perfectly prepared. Our waitress, Aislinn, was delightful. She was so very personable and extremely knowledgeable about the menu, making sure we knew about ingredients that were used so we ordered meal we would enjoy. The ambiance, service and quality of the food make this place a top notch restaurant.

    Delicious food, great atmosphere and very good service. Our server Charlie was great, attentive but not overbearing. Great for a birthday dinner.

    My wife and I had the arugula salad and the grilled octopus to start. My wife had the fish of the day (Swordfish with a pistachio crust), and I had the veal saltimbocca for the main courses. DELICIOUS!
