The decor is very simple, almost austere but elegant in it?s own way and serves as a backdrop to feature the foodand drink which are the real reasons folks come to partake. Jeremy was an very nice young man who took very good care of usthroughout the evening with his calm demeanor and willingness to help us with choices. The menu is small yet adequate and thewine list is one of the best we have experienced in awhile. Very eclectic and interesting again limited with choices fromAustria to Italy, California,etc., but even Lebanon which has very good red wines by the way. We opted for the featured AustrianRiesling which paired perfectly with our greens and peaches salad and wild sea bass dinners. And the wine prices are veryreasonable for the quality level. The food was delicious! The emphasis is on quality ingredients, prepared well and designed toplease the palate. Portions are perfect but if it?s a lot of food you are seeking, this ain?t the place. It?s fresh, delicious,thoughtful food made to savor and enjoy. Complementary flavors reside in each dish. Conversation food in a relaxed atmospherethat encourages people to linger and enjoy the experience. The final course of fresh decaf coffee with blueberry corn cake wasthe perfect finale. Absolutely delightful dining!

The menu is constantly changing which makes every dining experience a delightful one. And to top it off, the price is so reasonable. Coming from Charleston restaurants it is so refreshing to see a restaurant put out this quality of food with such good pricing.

All of the dishes AND drinks were well thought out, nicely presented, and of high quality. The menu is just the right size, with wonderful options that made choosing difficult, but not so large that quality and attention to detail gets lost. The atmosphere was comfortable yet classy, and service was great. In a time where restaurants are often disappointing, 1826 is a breath of fresh air. Highly, highly recommend!
