We were staying at Monmouth Plantation and thought we'd try 1818. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was warm and cozy, the food was good but not spectacular and the portions are small. My wife's beef was very flavorable, the crab soup that was the soup of the day was excellent, but my redfish was avearge. We loved Monmouth... More

We went here before, about 2 years ago and they had a different chef then I believe and he was wonderful! This chef only served fish, duck, and a veggie dish all of which I do not like. I had no choice but to get the duck. It was very salty. Our bill was 132$ and I was totally NOT... More

enjoyed the Taste of the South for $52 each for a 5 course meal - appetizer (small plates); salad; soup (restorative); entree (large plate); and dessert. Husband chose foie gras and I had the shrimp and grits....both were delicious and included ingredients we would never have imagined, but which put a new twist on Southern favorites. We both chose the... More

That dinner includes an appetizer, soup, salad, main and dessert. All were excellent, the highlights were the soup of the day (an outstanding white fish soup) and the white chocolate bread pudding dessert. If you have... More

For about $52 it was a much better value than ordering a la carte. My husband and I "competed" for each course to see who had ordered the... More

Second is limited wine list and first choice not available.Third... More

I went with my mom and mother-in-law during Angels on the Bluff weekend. I made dinner reservations a couple weeks in advance. The restaurant is beautiful but that was the only good thing it had going for it when we went. They were out of the first 3 things we tried to order (which is not good when you have... More
