I had the pleasure of celebrating my birthday at Nineteen 86 Steakhouse. The ambiance, food, presentation, and most importantly our waitress (AMY) provided OUTSTANDING service. She was very humorous and knowledgeable about the menu options. Request AMY for your waitress and you’ll have the BEST experience. Thank you for making my birthday dining experience enjoyable.

My husband and I came here for the first time on my birthday and had such a great experience. Our server Ken was very knowledgeable with both the food & drink menu. We started with the coconut curry mussels which were absolutely delicious and could definitely pass as a meal if you were to eat it solo. Then we had the seared scallops, the 18 oz Ribeye Oscar style and a twice baked potato. Since we were sharing the dishes, they ended up splitting both dishes up for us making it really convenient for us. By the time we finished the steak, we were only able to eat a little bit of the seared scallops and potatoes and ended up packing up the leftovers. Which they did wonderfully and even sent us with another set of bread service to go. Since we were so full, they even sent me home with a cute duo cheesecake/creme brulee to celebrate my special day. We really enjoyed ourselves here and everyone from the hostess to our server was very friendly and professional. Definitely a place to try if you're in the area.

Went to celebrate my friend's and my birthday and couldn't ask for a better celebration. Ken was an excellent server who was very knowledgeable about both the food and drink menu. He made us feel like we were his only table and allowed us to take our time and enjoy our experience. We ate family style, and the kitchen prepared it in such a way that we all had our own plate of food. The charcuterie board was lovely and filling. The 4lb lobster was decadent, and the porterhouse was prepared perfectly. They even sent us each home with a special birthday dessert.

Really great dishes, they have a selection that will keep you coming back to try other dishes. Had the filet mingon and the king crab legs, with oysters, and the French onion soup. All of it was delicious. And the staff are wonderful, friendly and just bring good vibes.

Ken, need to request Ken’s section!!! Such a wonderful host and knows the menu VERY well. The food was wonderful and filling. I would say dressing business casual is adequate. Unless you just want an excuse to dress up. I enjoyed coming here and can’t wait to come back! We had the tomatoe and motzerella salad, filet mignon, twice baked potatoes, Chilean sea bass, broccolini, house drinks, and a butter cake. Bread service is provided at no extra charge.

For my 1st visit here I wasn't sure what to expect. But let me say, it wasn't a disappointment! Service was amazing, restaurant was extremely nice, classy but not stuffy! The food was delicious and well prepared, well seasoned and large portions. The lobster bisque with the inflated crust knocked my socks off. I will definitely return.

Always wanted to come try this steakhouse because it’s called 1986 steakhouse and that’s the year I was born. Well today I brought my husband for Father’s Day. We sat at the bar area and the food and drinks were absolutely delicious and the service was the best of all. I honestly haven’t had this kind of great service in a very long time. Everyone from the hostess to our waitress to the gentleman who brought us the bread and the guy who brought us the Father’s Day rose. Everyone was so nice to us and I can’t wait to return and try another dish

On my wife's birthday I decided to treat ourselves a fine dining place. Nineteen 86 Steakhouse has redefined fine dining for us. We were pampered by the amazing staff team especially Amy from the beginning to the end. The food look, smell, and taste wonderful. We even got a small birthday surprise. A truly exquisite experience.
