We used to go to the original Roy's which was excellent. The first time we visited 1849 several years ago, I found it underwhelming. They have since gone back to some of the same dishes as the original Roys and it is back to being exceptional. Inside of the restaurant is nice, even if you sit away from the windows. Highly recommend the potstickers, the Butterfish and both the pineapple upside down cake and chocolate lava cake.

Good food with a robust selection of menu items. We went with a group of 5, each with different food preferences (including teens and a 10 year old) and everyone found something they liked. Quality of ingredients was solid and presentation was nice. It was a bit odd that we had a reservation, there were several open tables available and yet when we checked in for the reservation (2 minutes early) they told us to wait so they could set a table for us. Our waiter was friendly and was definitely hustling. We'd happily eat here again.
