Went last night and took a couple with us that had never been there. Service was great, steaks cooked to perfection and if you have never tried bananas foster it’s a must have dessert.

About the restaurant

At Restaurant 1818 you will dine in what was originally the Men's and Ladies’ Parlors of the Main House. These two parlors are adorned with authentic period crystal gasoliers. These impressive reproduction chandeliers and wall sconces were custom made for Monmouth by the artisans at Waterford Crystal in Ireland.

Guests have complete dining freedom when they reserve a table at Restaurant 1818. Here guests can select menu items on an a la carte basis from the gourmet appetizers, soups, salads, entrees, and desserts offered that evening. A full wine list and wine by the glass program is available to ensure your dining experience is the very best Natchez has to offer!

Private dining by candlelight is also offered for 8 to 12 people at the main dining room table. This room exemplifies the elegant dining experience which has been customary since the days of John and Eliza Quitman.

We’ve stayed at Monmouth and eaten there several times. The lamb lollipop and fried green tomato appetizers were DELICIOUS!!! My husband had the filet and said it was good but not as good for the higher price. I had the redfish and it would have been delicious but it was over cooked and very dry. The service was excellent. We know sometimes things are just off. We will return. It’s a beautiful setting. We celebrated our anniversary there.

The chopped Cobb salad was one of the best I’ve had. The 8 oz filet Oscar style was really great. Pretty restaurant, spaced so we and our friends could actually have a conversation. Highly recommend.

Had Teppanyaki reservation and had to wait a few minutes for table. Done on small table with only 4 so no view but Chef did a great job once he was able to get us. Service overall was slow and salads didn't arrive until with dinner due to a kitchen issue. Overall experience was still good and food tasted great as always. Just not overall up to normal standards for the place on this Saturday night.
