Sunday brunch - not busy at 10AM. Prompt service with an unfortunate mistake that ruined the morning for a member of my party. Hopefully will improve in the future.

Service was great. Cocktails were fantastic. The food - meh. Nothing special about it and not a lot of flavor. The ahi-tuna was overly marinated in a soy sauce and very salty. The restaurant itself is beautiful. Very high-end and trendy looking design. I feel like they have a bit of an identity complex though - are you going to be a high end restaurant or a want to be Top Golf? For a Saturday night it was pretty dead and I think the game theme will deter guests. I hope they figure out what they want to be which will determine the audience they attract.

My daughter and I both had the crab Benedict. Both of us had 1 egg with no yolk. What’s a Benedict without a beautiful runny yolk…I would have let my server know, but I took half of my Benedict home. The half with no yolk. Then my daughter let us know her’s was missing a yolk too. The service and ambiance are great.

My family and I had a great time. The service was top tier. While we waited for remaining party members we were offered complimentary mimosas. I will definitely be back. Happy Mothers Day 2023!!!

We probably wouldn’t have gone if we had realized it had only been open for two days! That said, the food we got was tasty ( the onion soup was DELICIOUS) but there are clearly issues in the serving/kitchen area that need to be resolved. Three of us got our dinners and one did not, even after an hour wait. They did offer a complimentary appetizer but there seemed to be a lot of miscommunication going on. I’m sure they will iron out the opening jitters over time but we would definitely give it another try. The place itself is very well done, the golf is fun and golf staff very attentive and helpful. An asset in Shaker that I hope people will try.

Ambiance and service were wonderful. There was a live band that were great. The restaurant food was a miss, we ordered 4 different dishes, and every one of them were not done well, weird flavor combinations, under seasoned, the potato risotto was wayyy over seasoned with rosemary and did not have a pleasant mouth feel. The food in the bays is probably pretty good, and we’ll come back to try that because we loved the feel of the space.

Decor and ambiance felt upscale and classy. Menu should try to include some lower priced options. Dining service was a bit lacking. One person at our table waited 10 minutes to get her food after everyone else. Crafted cocktails were outstanding. I think once they iron out issues with service and production it will be great.

The 1899 Social Club offers a unique blend of dining, gaming, and imbibing, making it an ideal spot for both a delicious meal and a fun night out with friends. Spread across a spacious area that boasts 9 golf bays, 2 full bars, and multiple lounges, the wait staff has their work cut out for them - but they deliver with aplomb. Our server, James, offered impeccable guidance as we explored the innovative and adventurous menu, which features options for brunch, lunch, and bar fare. Part gastropub, part specialty beer house, and part golf simulator gaming venue, the 1899 Social Club is still refining its operating model and menu elements, but we were pleasantly surprised by our initial experience. Whether you're looking for a destination dinner or a night of revelry, this establishment has something for everyone.

I would not recommend 1899 for the food. All four of us did not like our meal and found that the food was wayyy over priced. The craft cocktails however, were delicious and creative. Skip the food and just go for the drinks and ambience.

This is a fun place. We went on a Friday night for our first time at this restaurant. Walked into a fun, energetic atmosphere. Feels like an upscale sports bar. So I was expecting sports bar food. Wrong! The menu is creative and the food is fantastic! House made potato chips with caviar? Yes please! They will even crreate a new cocktail just for you - delicious! We will definitely be back soon.
