A great big thank you to everyone for your patience and understanding these past couple of weeks!

With one cook out sick for several weeks, another one on vacation, and our new staff being trained, we’ve been a little stretched in the kitchen. Thank goodness, Vickie put on an apron and jumped in to cook and manage things, and she did a fantastic job! We pulled team members from all corners of the restaurant to help.

We know some wait times were longer than usual, and we sincerely apologize. Thankfully, we’re on the mend, our new team members are settling in, and we’re still working to strengthen our grill staff.

Thank you for your patience, kindness, and continued support of our 1841 Café.
