We were the second table of the evening, got there at 445pm and it felt like a Friday night rush. The servers knowledge of the menu and dishes was fantastic but rush, rush, rush, even the check was dropped while we were still eating. Culturally we have become a society of hurry up but when we are dropping some coin on dinner it's an event not an activity. Food was delicious, smallish portions but we can't eat that much anymore anyways, probably will be back.

We try different places with friends for our Xmas get together. It wasn't bad except for the old fashioned drinks a couple of us had, nor was it fantastic. Now we can say we have been there....

1826 Bistro is a fine dining, casual boutique restaurant in a rather unlikely place, downtown Pendleton. I deferred writing a review after my initial visit, because I frankly, because our experience was so good, I thought it must be a one-off. But that was not the case. Our second visit was just as good as the first. The menu here is always changing, but I feel comfortable saying that you will be pleased with whatever your order. Every sauce from appetizer to desert is prepared to perfection, perfectly complimenting the food it enhances. There is a lovely outside seating area that is dog friendly with well spaced tables. The inside is quite small. If there is only one thing to be critical of is that there are a lot of yellow jackets around while we were eating. I think a few yellow jacket traps might mitigate the issue. Still overall, an excellent experience in great dining.

This place is SO good! I really liked the kind, attentive and prompt service and the food was some of the best I have had since moving to the area. The risotto blew my socks off! Only down side was the size/how sound carries but that’s the sacrifice for being in a charming old building I suppose.

I cannot recommend this place enough. I have lived a lot of different places and had the pleasure of tasting a lot of different food, but I swear this restaurant may be the best I’ve ever had. And it’s consistent. Every time I go in there, I am amazed by the meal and the service.

I don’t usually leave reviews, but my family and I went out to eat here for the first time and can confidently say this was the best meal I’ve had since I’ve moved to SC. Everything we tried was spectacular and the staff was wonderful! Our waiter recommended the zucchini appetizer which was a huge hit. We didn’t even get out the door before we all agreed we would be back soon. Everything from the drinks to the dessert fresh and delicious!

Our party of four had an absolutely fabulous meal from start to finish. All of the dishes AND drinks were well thought out, nicely presented, and of high quality. The menu is just the right size, with wonderful options that made choosing difficult, but not so large that quality and attention to detail gets lost. The atmosphere was comfortable yet classy, and service was great. In a time where restaurants are often disappointing, 1826 is a breath of fresh air. Highly, highly recommend! Pictured- eggplant caponata entree.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at 1826 Bistro. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food was delicious. The front patio was such a nice place to sit as well.
We dined at 1826 last night. It was a very nice experience. The food and service was awesome! The Panna Cotta was amazing. Thanks guy for a great evening!

My husband and I went to Clemson and enjoyed this place a couple times during college. We loved it so much we decided to come back and celebrate our second wedding anniversary by having dinner at 1826 and it was just as good as we remembered! Our waiter (I wish I could remember his name) was wonderful. The food is absolutely amazing. Every single food item we ordered as well as the drink/wine options were delicious. I wish I had gotten more pictures, but that’s just how good it was, phone did not eat first haha. The ambiance inside is quaint and the patio outside is beautiful. We’re glad we came back to this place-it seems hard these days to find a fine dining establishment that doesn’t go downhill after a while. We will be back soon!

I am not a high dollar restaurant connoisseur, but our server was Christian, and he made my wife and I more comfortable out of our element. Food was pretty great...but the sauces, Oh my Lord! Really tasty!If you want to impress people with local high class dining, go to 1826 On the Green.
