What can I say? This place has absolutely incredible food! ❤?
The beef jowl is unlike anything I've ever had-definitely not your average beef stew! The pasta that came with it was just as flavorful. The pizza? Executed perfectly, with wonderfully stretchy cheese & fresh veggies. The escargot was rich, buttery, & delicious. To top it all off, the complimentary crème brûlée from their current promotion was the cherry on top, & the portion sizes are huge! The prices are very reasonable, & the service is incredibly warm & welcoming.

Had dinner at 1640 Bistro & loved it! The duck leg with pasta was fragrant & delicious, the steak tartare was great, & the pizza-highly recommended by the staff-was amazing. The crust was flavorful & chewy, really stood out. Definitely a must-try if you're in town!

I am writing this review in the middle of my dinner. This is hands down the best food ive had in a long long time. I am perpetually disappointed by food when I eat out & especially in tourist areas. This restaurant however is not a part of that trend. The beef tartare was incredible, I am a huge tartare fan & its the best ive ever had. The duck was my main & it is so succulent & falvourful, the pasta is seasoned beautifully. I will be getting a creme brulee too but unless there is a fly in it or something my review is not changing.

Edit: there was no fly & the creme brulee was amazing.

I had steak & duck confit here.
The duck confit is absolutely amazing, & steak is good too.
But the fries didn't get fried well, & the pasta is not salty enough.

Duo tartare was huge & good. Steak good. Pasta good. escargot was ok. Only downside was old rock music that kept repeating every 20-30minutes.

This place is the pinnacle of well rounded dining. Awesome selection of tasteful rare beer. Food is always very well made. Burgers, high end beef cuts, pastas & pizza. Atmosphere is also top of the food chain. Portions are also very good by 2020+ standards. The only thing they could improve on is wait times. Literally.
