I recently visited 1809 Restaurant at the Rodd Hotel in Miramichi and unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. The location itself is beautiful, with a stunning view of the Miramichi Bridge and river, and the staff was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was nice, clean, and well-maintained, which was a plus.
However, the food left a lot to be desired. We went for Sunday brunch and ordered Eggs Benedict, only to be told 10 minutes later that they didn’t have eggs for poaching, just carton eggs for scrambled. Disappointed, we switched our order to French toast and a side of sausage. The French toast was soggy, with some parts still raw in the egg dip, which made it unappetizing. The sausages were small and didn't make up for the lackluster main dish.
For $9 for the French toast and $5 for a side of sausage, the meal was not worth it at all. I was really hoping for a better brunch experience considering the lovely setting and pleasant service. I won’t be returning for brunch anytime soon.

Breathtaking views, exceptional cuisine! Watching the sunset while savoring a delicious meal made for an unforgettable evening. 10/10 would recommend! Totally enjoyed my early birthday celebration. 💐😁

Not a bad place, atmosphere is really nice, but food is really underwhelming especially for the price. Cocktails are generous though

We stopped here on the way through to Monkton as the food looked good. Honestly, slowest and some of the worst service I’ve ever received. Autumn was our server, it took her 20 minutes just to greet us after we were sat. We ordered everything at once so that she didn’t have to come back numerous times, Our food was easy food (a salad, a sandwich and a poke bowl) and still took over an hour to get out. Our starter salad took half an hour alone to get. No apologies, no offer to refresh our waters or alcoholic beverages. I had to take salt and pepper off another table and chase down someone to get a take out container. Subpar experience at best.

I went there twice during my stay in Miramichi. Classic restaurant-bar. The atmosphere is good. The decor is charming. Prices are reasonable. The menu is varied. The view of the river is a significant asset. The service is adequate. I liked that my waitress could speak French. My first meal (hamburger) went without a hitch. However, the next day, my order was late (problems in the kitchen) and my meal (club sandwich) was not very hot.
Ugh. As a group of 7 plus a toddler, we really wanted to have a good experience at 1809 unfortunately we didn’t. After 40 minutes of waiting for food, we asked a passing waitress what was going on and they replied the food was late because there were so many big groups. In the 40 minutes of waiting our waitress did not state that wait times would be long, and did not offer more coffee/ water. When the food finally arrived 10 minutes later, it came one plate at a time, had extremely small portions for the price, and was missing half the ingredients listed on the menu. Ie: breakfast sandwich didn’t come with toppings and there was no fruit provided to any of our breakfasts. I understand that restaurants can be busy, but I also know that the staff should show some respect to their paying customers. It’s unfortunate because 1809 is a nice restaurant but based on this experience I can’t recommend this restaurant to anybody, especially those with children.

A solid dinner choice and worked well for us staying in the hotel. We sat on the patio on a beautiful evening so the view couldn’t be better. The food was solid - not spectacular. Service is hard to rate - our servers and everyone we interacted with were lovely but it did take a loooong time to get our meals. That seems to be an ongoing challenge here so it was not unexpected and we weren’t in a rush but it wouldn’t be somewhere to eat if you were.
