Ashley, one of the owners, is such a welcoming person. I'm so glad my boyfriend and I were able to get to know her personally during our first visit when she came over to our booth. We also met Jennifer, the chef, and she's AWESOME! Shawn, my boyfriend, ordered the chicken biscuit and gravy and when Jennifer came out to check on us when we talked with Ashley, Shawn mentioned how much he loved the sausage gravy and she went above and beyond when she brought over a generous bowl more of it. We have Anonda as our server and she's just as welcoming and hospitable. She told us about the peach waffle cobbler that Jennifer made for everyone today and how delicious it was for the staff who tried it. Super personable and totally sold me on trying the peach cobbler waffle. I wasn't feeling waffles but I'm so glad she convinced me to try it. I LOVED it! It was sweet and fulfilling with small beignets on top. Not to mention, Shawn's meal was savory. So you have sweet or savory to choose from. The owners, Matt and Ashley, found an amazing chef in Jennifer. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming with hospitable staff. Overall, if you want to feel welcome, enjoy a quality meal at a reasonable price, and love an atmosphere the owners poured their heart into, this is the place for you. The bourbon was delicious! Shawn tried the bourbon old fashioned and it even came with a piece of bacon submerged. I haven't even mentioned how beautiful and intimate the aesthetic of the restaurant is. Ashley mentioned how she worked on the wall where our booth is when the pandemic began. It all started with a bottle of bourbon. The restaurant truly has a lot of personable and vintage touches while remaining modern and enjoyable. 1861 is definitely my favorite place to be now. Shawn and I can't wait to come back again
