Dinner review
A great turnout made for a great evening. The staff and service at 1841 was as good as we’ve come to expect anywhere in town.
Members and guests were welcomed with a glass or two of Paul Bur sparkling then treated to Johnsonville’s finest array of fresh wholesome entrees and mains. Interesting was that most tables ordered everything on the menu. The vegetarian rice rolls served with an Asian dipping sauce was as fresh as you could get. Those ordering the chowder left nothing, even the crispy tortilla basket in which it was served was gone.
you may have been forgiven expecting mains to be smaller for a large group. The truth is the mains were fantastic – beautifully presented, great flavours (I shared my wife’s pork), leaving us needing a break before dessert.
The desserts and cheese board topped off a great evening.
Congratulations to the staff and chef at 1841 for a great meal.
Cheers Steve
