Staff was friendly, room was clean but uncomfortable. No way to turn the heat off or down---can open the window (which is fine) but this makes the heat go higher. Shower lovely but impractical for reaching needed items, sprays water everywhere. The eco-friendly rooms are cute but fly in the face of a lot of accessibility issues/universal design.

First and foremost we stayed when the hotel First opened. If memory serves me correctly the lady's name at the front desk on the night shift was Shirley. She was very friendly/ professional. The room was comfortable/ clean. We enjoyed it so much that we stayed a extra night and upgraded to a suite, which was very nice. We had breakfast in the restaurant downstairs

HEALTHY/SEASONAL MENU/CREATIVE CUISINE
Alum driving cross-country stopped in Oberlin to eat here again. I tried 1833 in 2018 and enjoyed two great meals while staying at The Hotel. So came this time with expectations and IT WAS GREAT! I started with SQUASH BISQUE with pepitas, crema and Aleppo chili flakes. Warm rich (GF, V) and spicy! Then had a hearty but healthy CHICKEN PARMESAN SANDWICH with mozzarella, pesto on a artisan Kaiser roll. I was hungry but could only manage to eat half. It made a great lunch the next day. The CHILLED PEA SALAD with aged cheddar, bacon, red onion with creamy

Really disappointed at what should have been a nice dinner out. While the restaurant tried to make amends with replacing my entrée, that too was poorly served. I tried the bone-in veal chop which was tough and chewy. The waiter recommended the mashed potatoes which were submersed in butter...no, I mean really submersed and bleh...and yes, I like butter. So my veal was replaced with fettuccini alfredo which was a congealed sticky mess. Argh. Two other guests had the pasta pomodoro and it was the same. Espresso was bitter. Creme brulée was good but smothered in too much whipped cream. Yes, I am

Out of draft beer at 5pm on Saturday. Wedding going on upstairs super loud. Tables littered with food and trash for my entire visit. Cheese curds had no flavor. Asked for the burger with no pickles and fries. Burger had pickles. Also had an onion jam that I did not care for. Two stars because the fries were very good and the waiter was doing his best.

Our large group enjoyed dinner in their private dining room, COVID friendly with no other diners in that room. Excellent food, waiter was exceptional. He offered us wine samples before ordering our wine. Food was very good. I'm curious what the restaurant is like when the hotel (in same building as restaurant) is open. Oberlin Hotel is closed until May 2021 due to COVID. We will be back.

This was our first inside Covid dining experience and it was fabulous. The staff was knowledgeable and masked and attentive. The food was really good. The bread starter was generous and hard to stop eating. The Brussels sprouts were also stellar. I should have stopped there. The rest of my meal was also really good but I was already kind of full. I will go back.

Overpriced for the portions
I know this is supposed to be a fancier style eatery with chef inspired creations but I feel like they are catering more to the parents coming to visit the college than the locals. Food is food the portions are just really small for the price. Recommend one of the sandwiches because at least your belly will be full.

Atmosphere - modern. Set just off the main lobby of the hotel, the restaurant is fairly small with floor to ceiling glass on one side. We arrived around 8 pm and there were only two tables with patrons. The chairs were less than comfortable and the place had an upscale cafe feel to it.
Service - average, at best. Despite the fact that the restaurant was extremely slow, it took some time before we were approached by a server. To be honest, I have a feeling that our server was fairly new to the restaurant and to the profession. She was tentative and was not very personable.
Food - good. Here,

We are trying to complete the Lorain County Ice Cream Trail and this restaurant is one of the participants. Why they are on the ice cream trail is beyond me. First, you have to be seated in the restaurant for them to wait on you. Second, when we said we were there for the ice cream, we were told they have chocolate, vanilla and praline. WHAT?????? And to boot, a teeny scoop, served in a bowl was $4.00 and that was after they took off the discount because of the voucher.
This restaurant should never have participated, because that's not what it's about.
I can't comment

TOTALLY impressed with this place. Who would think this was a hotel eatery!
I ate at least 1 of every meal at 1833, the service was always pleasant, if not quick. I understand that the unusual amount of people threw them, and that's acceptable, the food was never amiss, always prepared well and absolutely delicious.
The Ny Strip and 1833 fries were perfect. The steak was succulent the fries crisp and deliciously seasoned, we'd also ordered a side of the mushroom risotto, which was AMAZING. The ham soup, which I had two days in a row, was decadenly delicious. I would eat that every

Had a nice visit to Oberlin and decided to have Father's Day brunch at this place. I had the eggs Benedict and a few bloody Mary's to cure a small hangover. The food was great was the service was a bit sluggish and our server was very forgetful. I think she needed my bloody Mary's more then I did. The bar was completely empty yet it took about 15 minutes to each for some sub par Mary's. At one point we had to ask for refills twice on our water and coffee. I'm thinking this will be my first and last time visiting this place. The only thing worth mentioning is the vintage

The food is very good, but the customer service was absolutely awful. They need to have a consulting team come in and train them on the time it takes to greet a customer, take a customers order, bring a customer their food, and checking on the customer after they get their food. They also need training on remembering that the customer is always more important than anything else they have going on.
There were two people trying to figure out how to get the computer at the bar to function. When I walked up no one was at the front desk, no one was answering the phone, and when I asked the two women

I was an early fan of this restaurant in the new Oberlin Inn, but a recent visit left me thinking that the place is failing to live up to its own lofty ambitions.
It seems like everything was either over- or under-seasoned, overly complicated, or poorly executed. Perch was overcooked. A side dish made from chickpeas was a barely-edible salt bomb. Fried Brussels sprouts were swimming in oil and overly sweetened with syrup. Lamb chops appeared to have been cooked tenderly via sous vide, but somebody forgot to sear or carmelize the exterior, leaving them bland, mushy, and unappealing.

While you might find yourself in a small town, the 1833 is one of the few restaurants I which you will find a measure of culture and class to the menu. There isn't an abundance of perfection to their presentation, but the food is a cut above the normal fare you'll find in the area. If you've the chance to dine with a chef that has a vision dominated by the rural nature of his customers then you've found a gem in the restaurant's elegance.
The drinks are well done, suited to the menu that offers non traditional options common to the comfort food variety of the region.

Showed up around 5:50 with my girlfriend on a Saturday evening and it was mostly full. Seated and watered promptly; they seem to have learned from the reviews below complaining about slow service, because they asked if we wanted something to drink within two minutes!
We shared things for dinner. The black bean burger might have been the best I've ever had (and as a vegetarian, that's sometimes the only choice I have at restaurants). It was crispy, with sweet corn and a garlic aioli I really liked. It came with a heap of shoestring fries (with some fried garlic cloves in there, too, mmm
