    Eating House 1849 continues the local plantation-style eatery feel, with open air seating, view of the back of the house, and a lively atmosphere. The staff is very friendly and attentive, especially the server I had for the evening, Alfred. Change of pace from most restaurants, as they start you out with edamame for the table. Ordered the EH 1849 Spicy Ramen, which gives you a chance to sharpen your chopstick skills, should you desire. The pork belly and tiger shrimp were cooked well and had great flavor. The noodles didn't stand out for any real reason, but the broth was outstanding, with exceptional depth of flavor and superior seasoning. The chili oil adds a nice zip, but is by no means too spicy. If you want dessert, which I would highly recommend, work with your server to ensure that it gets ordered early. Both desserts that were available last night took ~17-20 minutes to prepare, so they will time it appropriately if you communicate with them. I chose the Roy Yamaguchi's Melting Hot Chocolate Souffle, and was not disappointed. It was paired with the locally sourced Lappert's vanilla bean ice cream, and a raspberry coulis. If you are a souffle purist, do not be surprised that this is a deviation from traditional souffles, being more of a molten lava cake. It is delicious, regardless, and a great way to end the meal.

    Awesome service from the moment we arrived until we paid our bill. The edamame was delicious but OMG the curry ramen and G-special ramen were simply amazing. We will be back (maybe even on this trip!).
