We had our wedding reception at 1847 this past summer. Its a nice place, the patio was excellent. Generally I have received comments from others that the staff is rather cold. That was not our experience at all. Service / staff was excellent.
However, in the end, it was not good value. We served appetizers only and an open bar. The bill was over $100 per person. I think that was probably about 30% higher than what it should have been.
In dealing with the owners leading up to the event we had growing concerns about how the evening would go. All in all, it went OK. The owners assured us they would be there the entire night and they bounced at the first chance they had (maybe 30 min's after arrival).
We have not returned nor ever spoke to the owners since the event and we live in Brooklin. Sort of sums up the entire experience.
