    Lovely preserved historic train station with rich architectural finishes in spacious high ceiling to enjoy delicious prepared dishes. Very helpful staff explained large group options, dishes were deliciously seasoned, very attentive waiters keeping our waters filled with no lag in services. Looking forward to coming back for bridal shower - a definite recommendation!

    Rails Burrata

    Modern on the Rails is a solid dinner spot. It's a great location and the ambiance/decor is a total vibe. It's definitely got an upscale feel, while also not being stuffy or fancy. You could easily go here for dinner in jeans and not feel out of place, but also if you wanted to dress up for a date night or special occasion, it would also be appropriate. The space is also really nice and is a good option if you were having a larger group or wanted to do a celebratory meal. The staff is friendly and attentive. The food is solid and the price is reasonable for what you are getting. They brought over bread to start and the bread was nice and warm. We started with the burrata app which weirdly came with 3 pieces of medium bread (same as the basket, but toasted or grilled). It felt like it should have been smaller crostini type bread and also more pieces given the app, but it didn't matter because we had the warm bread basket. The app itself was nice, but not overly special. For dinner we had the burger and the squid ink pasta with salmon. The burger was good, but the sweet potato fries needed any kind of seasoning, even salt. The pasta was the best dish of the night. The salmon was cooked perfectly, the sauce was delicious and the pasta was great. Overall, I would definitely come back here again. It's a nice spot with reasonable prices, great ambiance and service, and the food is solid.

    the ambiance was great but the service was slow. The restaurant was practically empty when we got there towards the end is when it got busy. My main entrée which was the lobster and steak was honestly very mid and I expected more for a restaurant that's priced at the way they are. The drink and the appetizer is the best thing.

    What a great experience! Really nice decor and ambiance in the room. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Our waiter made several recommendations, which were great. The manager came by halfway through the meal to check on us, I always appreciate that. I had the mozzarella sticks to start and my wife had the Caesar salad. I know mozzarella sticks are simple, but when they are done correctly you notice the difference. These were perfect. For our mains I had the Lobster ravioli and my wife had the roasted chicken. Both were great. The sauce with the chicken was especially tasty. For dessert I had the Italian donuts (zeppolis) and my wife had the chocolate chip cookie. Delicious!! The price was very reasonable. If we're in the area again we will definitely be back! Highly recommend this place!

    Had a wonderful experience here. We came for a private party and the service was outstanding. The food was very good too. It was brunch and I especially enjoyed the French toast. The penne a la vodka was a huge hit too.

    Calamari

    Music was a tad load and somewhat annoying. Service was good. Chairs comfortable My chicken Parmesan was generously sized, perfectly seasoned, cooked just right. Calamari was Cosmopolitan Bruschetta was a like a pizza!

    Espresso Martini

    This place is like Goldilocks. I ordered the Lamb T-bone. First it came out overcooked. Then it came out RAW and not cooked at all. The third time, it came out just right. It took 40 minutes to bring me overcooked lamb, 10 minutes to bring me a raw lamb, and another 7minutes to properly cook it. They also failed to rest the meat. The service was good and so are the espresso martinis (no Baileys). The owner came out and apologized for the lamb and took our drinks off the bill which was very nice. The ambiance here is very nice. Most people will like this place.

    Linguini with White Clam Sauce
    Tomiko P.

    Great ambiance. Super friendly and attentive staff. Bartender was amazing, super delicious dirty martini!! Apps & food were on point. I order the linguine & white clam sauce and I had more clams than pasta which was great with me. They have mussels on the app menu I don't care for them in red sauce and the chef was very accommodating and made mine with garlic and white wine sauce. Calamari super crispy. Overall I give it 5 stars because that's what you get. I will definitely be back again and again.

    1881 Kitchen Table was absolutely amazing. We have been considering going for a couple of weeks and…read moreweren't able to get same day reservations. Now that we've been, I can absolutely see why. The ambiance is great. Love the decor and it generally feels like a nice place for a date night or even just a nice night out with friends. The staff is attentive and very nice. But the food. The food was amazing. We started with the Little Mezze with the grilled bread and we also got the char grilled octopus. Both were amazing. We sat and ranked each dish on the little mezze, because it was all fantastic. Complex yet clean flavors in each dish. The eggplant was just a delightful, complex, balanced dish. The grilled octopus was possibly the best octopus I have ever had. The char had a great flavor. It was perfectly tender. We next had the schnitzel and the beet salad with salmon on top. The schnitzel was so crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The salmon was so nicely cooked on top of the salad. We saved room for dessert and had the sundae and the cheesecake and they were completely different and both stupidly good and very unique. This place was overall amazing. Homerun and one of the best dining experiences as of late and a definite must come back.

    This was our second time. Totally in love. Great service,…read moreamazing vibe. Thoughtfully decorated. Lamb kebab mint salad and French fries, roasted cauliflower, beet salad orange, Gambas, calamari nice green dipping sauce, mezzi plate I loved the hummus but the table voted the eggplant to be the star, perfect sweetness The Bread! Made in their brick oven. Please save me from myself! Lychee gin Negroni. Also deadly. Goes down so easy and then it hits you. We ordered several! Designate a driver! Make a reservation if you're coming after 6pm!
