    I have been going to 1886 almost since it opened. We now go almost weekly for Trivia night. The staff is great, the people are friendly and Trivia Night is fun for all ages. When it is on the Patio (not raining), you can even bring your dog. Downtown Orange is an amazing, interesting, historic, and fun place with lots of places to eat. 1886 is on our regular routine.

    We absolutely love this restaurant!! The food is amazing—be sure to save room for dessert. We were lucky enough to get Betty as our waitress again—she is now like an old friend!!😎 The GM Jennifer spent time with us sharing the history of this restaurant & the family atmosphere the staff has created in their work environment as well as their service.
