Fall flavors, beautifully layered. 🍂

Introducing our new Burrata Mille-Feuille at 1870 — creamy burrata paired with spiced butternut squash, ginger, delicate sage gel, candied pecans, and whipped hickory syrup, all brought together with flaky puff pastry.

A little sweet, a little savory, and everything we love about fall on one plate.

✨ New Mocktail Menu. New Favorites. ✨

Meet the Whiskey-less Sour—all the bold, balanced flavor of a classic wh***ey sour, reimagined as a handcrafted mocktail.

Bright citrus, silky texture, and a perfectly tart finish prove that a great cocktail doesn’t need alcohol to make a statement.

It’s just one of the creative new additions to our latest cocktail menu, featuring fresh seasonal flavors, unique house-made ingredients, and something for every palate.

Whether you’re sipping spirited or spirit-free, there’s a new favorite waiting for you.

🍸 Stop in, explore the new menu, and let us know which drink you’ll be ordering first.

Behind the Scenes🐟

This weekend’s Black Cod special starts tonight. Chef is teaching the team the art of properly filleting whole black cod—a skill that reflects our commitment to quality and craftsmanship.

We bring in fresh whole fish and butcher it in-house to ensure every cut meets our standards. It’s just one of the many details that make every dish at 1870 special.

Fresh. House-butchered. Chef-driven. Come taste the difference!
