1892 East Tavern - Huntsville

Overall great experiences for brunch and lunch. Can be a little pricey, but it is worth it, in general.Staff is also great, friendly and attentive.Dinner didnt really meet expectations though. Coffee brisket was definitely subpar as compared to the rest of the dishes. Thankfully we were warned by the server and got the sauce on the side, but since the chef made sauces per order, there was no choice of getting a different side sauce. Therefore the briskets became cold and dry.

My chicken pasta was great and it even heated up well the next day! Strongly recommend!

This was our first time here; we will definitely be back! Everything was perfect. I highly recommend!

My family and I ate here while vacation. The initial impression was good. The atmosphere was inviting, even though everyone agreed the restaurant was so dim you can barely see your food. The restrooms were clean. We ordered around 5:15 and had a party of 4 adults and 3 children. They do not have a children's menu, and the only children's meal offered is grilled chicken and french fries. Honestly, the children's meals ended up tasting better than our food. Our meal took over an hour to come out. There was little excuse for this considering the menu offered less than 10 options. I had Seitan, which I had never tried. It was essentially a thick moist bread similar in consistency to french toast. It could have been good properly prepared. It was served tasteless on a bed of dry rice mixed with what seemed to be the worst black eyed peas I've ever had. Topping that off were grilled red tomatoes, which would have tasted reasonably good, had they been de-stemmed. My wife had stuffed trout and it was mediocre at best. It was served with whole chunks of bitter cooked lemons. My mother in law had beef tips and they were cooked properly, but had no seasoning. Our party included 7 with the children and as such an automatic gratuity was added to our bill. I don't think I've eaten anywhere that included an automatic gratuity at such a low table threshold (6). I think this contributes to poor service. I would have probably tipped 10% had I been given the option. The restaurant was not busy at all and our service was almost as mediocre as the trout. The gentleman waiting on us was polite, but distracted and we had to ask for additional rolls and even refills of water. I normally like to tip 25-30% or more at a nice meal on vacation, but this service didn't warrant such a tip. All in all, I strongly suggest anyone reading this to choose a different restaurant. This one is a bust.

The food was great. It was amazing. Service was horrible. Waited 10 minutes for a waiter to take our drank order. After our food was given to us. We ordered drinks that we never received. We just gave up. But the food was good.
