My first time coming to 1918, I had VERY high expectations from all I’d heard…those expectations were blown away!

Where do I begin… This has to be the best dinning experience I ever had. The restaurant was very quaint. Soon as you walk in you feel so welcome. The small bite we received was absolutely delightful. It was a salmon mouse that was packed with so much flavor. For appetizers we had the Asiago bread and the friend tempura lobster. Both items was scrumptious. For our main course we had the bison meatloaf with mashed potatoes and wilted spinach as well as the Waugh steak and vegetable. Both main course was divine. My husband and I both had cocktails that were delicious. The service was top notched!! James, Kipp and Lauren were simply amazing. They were beyond attentive and helpful. We will certainly return.

I’d write a more extensive but the pile of 5 star reviews in here speaks for itself. Might be the best restaurant I’ve eaten at on the Peninsula, if not all of Hampton Roads, and at prices that put the Le Yaca’s and Schlesinger’s to shame. A MUST eat if you love well prepared fine dining.

When I tell y’all that this place is a must to visit…I absolutely mean it. I’d call it a casual luxurious type of restaurant. It’s a tad on the pricey side, but I’d still go again. From beginning to end me and my sister were made to feel comfortable. The food was DELICIOUS and so were the cocktails. They had specials or you could order off the menu..100000/10 and I’ll be back.

My husband and I moved to Newport News a year ago and we had yet to find a great place to indulge our taste buds until tonight. We had to frequently travel to Williamsburg or VB for culinary adventures, not realizing that this little french-inspired gem of Hampton Roads have been here all along. We actually found the place through Google and gave it go during one of my rare weekend night offs. We had to wait 30 mins to get sat even after making a reservation. But don’t worry, this is a good story. The area is charming and I had good company (my husband) so I was a good sport about it. From the beginning though, we have felt warm hospitality and personalized service. Our hosts were gracious, honest and kind. The amuse bouche truly tickled our palates. There is complexity and balance in all the dishes that was brought to us except one. The wagyu beef. I come from Hawaii where we have fresh seafood at all times and an abundance of fine dining restaurants serving high quality wagyu, usually A5. I don’t know if my standard for this particular dish was too high but it came out medium, contrary to the medium rare I ordered. The char was also too overpowering compared to the richness and subtlety that wagyu beef is known for. But they comped it for us along with our first round of drinks and appetizers. That was surprising to us and it was a testament of their great customer service. We’ll be coming here again for sure. The customer service itself is worth the price. Great job Circa 1918.

This place was, by far, one of the best restaurants I have been to since my move from California to Virginia. Oddly enough, it did put me in the mind of one of those small, swanky restaurants on the corner of a street in San Francisco. This place is a hidden gem. The reviews do not give it any justice. From the quality of the dishes, to the polite and professional staff, the dining etiquette, plating, flavor, PRICE… just .

The lighting is dim in the restaurant so forgive my darkened picture. However it makes for a wonderful date night or birthday(really i would use any reason to go here). The Bartender was fantastic, very knowledgeable and attentive. He was half of the experience. The drinks are absolutely delicious as well as the food. The atmosphere is quaint and personal. Food can be a bit pricey but it’s worth it.

Wow! Just wow! I was in town for my birthday and saw the reviews for this restaurant and made the decision to try them out. Best meal decision that I’ve made in a while.
