1836 Steakhouse - Huntsville

We have made a Fathers day tradition of visiting. We love this place. This time we got to sit in the second floor and it was a real treat where as you could see the original parts of the building making it all that much more charming. I cannot say enoughgood things about the food and the vibe of this place

The restaurant offers a great selection of beer and wine, featuring both local and national options. The chicken fried steak, however, had more crispy bits than actual steak. On a positive note, the lemon blackberry cheesecake cups were delicious and perfect for sharing. The service was excellent, and the ambiance was enjoyable. Additionally, the bathrooms had a pleasant scent. Happy birthday, Blake!

If you're looking for an exceptional fine dining experience and have plenty of time to savor your meal without concern for the cost, then you definitely need to make a reservation at this restaurant! The food is outstanding from beginning to end. During both of our visits, the service has been prompt, with waitstaff who are helpful, friendly, and attentive. The ambiance is also lovely. It's truly a fantastic restaurant. I highly recommend the rack of lamb and the dessert—both are must-tries!

Just Ok. So, not worth the price in my opinion. For the price and online build up as a fine dining experience, I expected a bit more. Yes, there were some highlights, and some low lights, in the end resulting in a mediocre experience. First, thepositives. Service friendliness and attentiveness was good. The soups and salads were good, in fact, the wedge salad wasexcellent. The side of steamed vegetables was cooked perfectly. Now, the ?just ok? items. The chicken fried steak wasaverage. The second basket of rolls (more about the first basket later) was ok, too. Two of the three sirloin steaks were ofaverage quality, but not as tender or flavorful as similar (and a lot less expensive) sirloin steaks at Texas Road House. Theside of steak fries was warm, but nothing special. And, the three layer chocolate cake, while it was clearly of thestore bought variety, was decent. Finally, to the areas for improvement. The first set of rolls, which were touted as?rightout of the oven,? were lukewarm and burnt on the bottom. The server did bring out a second set later on. My steak, ordered aupoivre, did not come au poivre. I alerted the server, who brought out a dish of peppercorns and a separate dish of cream saucefor me to make the au poivre myself. However, I?m glad I did have the au poivre, because without it, my steak would have beeninedible. It was so tough and filled with gristles that I had to cut it into tiny pieces and drown it in the sauce to eat it. For the server, who was very friendly and attentive, there were a few mistakes that I?m sure will be sharpened with experience. For example, he never took our drink order. He hastily filled our water glasses at the beginning, but didn?t offer any otherdrinks. The second basket of rolls was returned with our original half consumed dish of whipped butter since it was takenback to the kitchen for the refill of rolls, the butter dish should have been refilled and returned full. The wedge s

Unfortunately, the Sunday prime rib didn't live up to expectations. While it was the largest piece of prime rib I’ve ever had, it lacked flavor and crust; thankfully, the creamy horseradish helped a bit. I also found it a bit undercooked for my taste. However, I took it home, gave it some extra seasoning, and pan-seared it in a cast iron skillet, which made for a much better dinner the next day. Our server was attentive, which I appreciated. I would definitely return, but I would stick to appetizers and drinks and maybe try a seafood dish next time.
