Renowned Orange County restaurateur David Wilhelm, along with longtime partner Gregg Solomon, purchased this iconic location in the heart of charming downtown San Juan Capistrano overlooking the Jewel of the California missions. The menu features many of his signature classic comfort foods such as his Famous Buttermilk Fried Chicken, French 75's Onion Soup, and Whiskey Shrimp Dijon, featured at his Tavern House Kitchen+Bar in Newport Beach. Chef Wilhelm is a longtime South County resident, well known for the many concepts he has created over the years including Kachina, Sorrento Grille, French 75, Savannah Chophouse and Jimmy's Famous American Tavern. Tavern at the Mission has a large, tree covered, pet friendly patio with beautiful mission views. The interiors have been beautifully renovated with a chandelier lit dining room and a warm central fireplace. Our' Tumbleweed Bar' is designed as an homage to San Juan Capistrano's Equestrian and Vaqueros history.

    I have been going to 1886 almost since it opened. We now go almost weekly for Trivia night. The staff is great, the people are friendly and Trivia Night is fun for all ages. When it is on the Patio (not raining), you can even bring your dog. Downtown Orange is an amazing, interesting, historic, and fun place with lots of places to eat. 1886 is on our regular routine.

    We absolutely love this restaurant!! The food is amazing—be sure to save room for dessert. We were lucky enough to get Betty as our waitress again—she is now like an old friend!!😎 The GM Jennifer spent time with us sharing the history of this restaurant & the family atmosphere the staff has created in their work environment as well as their service.
