1884 Dock Street Kitchen

From the moment you walked in you was made welcome and they took your coats. The food was world class, came out promptly and was presented very professionaly. I came with 7 others and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. If you enjoy quality food and appreciate the experience behind this, then it's worth a visit.

Superb office Christmas party venue. I've now come here twice and have never been dissapointed with the food, service or general embiance.

Great food, better service and an amazing selection of wines and whisky.

Really nice set out restaurant. Tables are very private no back to back seating. Food was 10/10 Had the ribeye steak never tasted steak cooked as good as that! The downside is that it is expensive without a doubt but you get what you pay for and this restaurant proves that statement. Vast selections of wine and spirits. Amazing place worth a visit!

Nice, but does not live up to the hype​! The starters arrived in good time but the baked oysters were just tepid, albeit with nice flavours. The main course took nearly an hour to serve, and 18 minutes after being told that it's being plated up. My wife's plaice was truly exquisite! My rib eye steak, on the other hand, was nicely cooked, of acceptable quality but over seasoned and too salty. Putting it mildly, I've had much better steaks at about half the price of £33 charged here! Ambiance was nice, coffee and desert delightful and service very good! I've had friends and family highly complement this place but our experience fell short of theirs. Will we come back? Perhaps, but not in a hurry!

Always a pleasure to come here. 1884 is an upmarket restaurant on the marina which probably won't get a Michelin star but has many dishes which are definitely Michelin quality. There is a bar area, an open kitchen and a seating area. The entire experience is refined and well executed although the decor may be a little over the top for some (chandeliers etc.). The food is expensive compared to normal Hull prices but you are paying for the quality and the taste, which really is fantastic - and unparallelled throughout the rest of Hull. The food is typically refined and well thought out and the flavours are often complex yet balanced. Call or look online for an up-to-date menu, and expect new dishes regularly. There are fantastic wine and beer selections which are expertly matched to your menu choices if you like. The cheese selection is an absolute must. Service is fantastic and servers are knowledgeable. Booking well in advance (typically over 2 weeks minimum) is a must.

Excellent as always, food is fantastic and we have never had any issues at all. Our waiter was more than helpful and gave us recommendations on the cheese & wine selection....Some of the Spirits are in very posh presentation boxes, so I would imagine they won't be £2.99 a shot! 1884 dock street is a High end restaurant and the best in Hull. Cheers

Superb value. Heartily recommend.

Wow is the first word that comes to mind. This place is fantastic!!! I was brought here by a friend when I was in Hull last week and I cannot speak highly enough about it. The food, the service, the ambience, the decor, and the price - everything was spot on. The restaurant is situated in the Humber Dock, the area around the docklands which has been redeveloped. The area is trendy with pubs and restaurants, a marina full of yachts and motor boats and lots of people walking, jogging or just sitting and watching the world go by. 1884, I found out, has a very good reputation in Hull and it is deservedly so. It also has a reputation for being expensive and if you just take the A la Carte menu then yes you will pay quite a lot but they also have an Evening Market Menu which available every night except for Saturday which offers 3 courses and a glass of fizz for £22 - that to me is exceptional value, especially when you taste the quality of the food. The choice on the evening was limited to two starters, two mains and two desserts. Between two of us we ordered everything on the menu. We were given warm bread to start which was so delicious we had to order more! The starters were a choice of a Ham hock terrine or Mozzarella with tomatoes. The description of either cannot come near to doing justice to just how delicious both of these starters were and how beautifully presented. The main courses were a choice between Hake or venison sausage. The fish came on a bed of champ with a butter sauce, baby shrimps and samphire. It was light and delicious and perfect after filling up on the bread;). The other choice was a venison sausage and mash with a rich gravy and topped with a crispy fried onion. This was absolutely delicious but I couldn't do it justice after being a little too greedy with the aforementioned bread! A selection of seasonal vegetables were presented separately on the side. The final course was dessert and we were definitely not disappointed. Lemon Posset which came topped with strawberries and served with two shortbread biscuits was the best dish of the entire night. The posset was light and lemony and the biscuits were crumbly and sweet - the nicest shortbread I have ever tasted. It was the perfect combination. The other dessert was "Strawberry Mess" a sort of deconstructed Eton mess. The meringue was not cooked just spread on the plate and toasted covered with chocolate crumbs, served with fresh strawberries and a vanilla ice cream and strawberry sorbet. This dessert was sublime as well, although for me being a lover of lemony desserts, the posset just pipped it. Everything was beautifully presented! The prosecco that came with the meal was light and fruity and a perfect accompaniment. The service was fantastic. Our waiter could not do enough for us and this was apparent in all of the staff we dealt with. Finally I took a trip to the ladies. I think you can tell a lot about a restaurant by looking at the loos. These were fabulous. They were spotless and the soap and hand lotion was luxurious, and the decor was reminiscent of a spa! In short this was one of the best meals I have had in a very long time. If you ever find yourself in Hull definitely take time to come here and I promise you won't regret it.

Food is excellent, service is excellent. Price is a little high but the atmosphere was beautiful and so what the interior! Juicy and tender steak.. but that's what you expect when you spend £70 on a steak!

Went to this restaurant for Sunday lunch while on vacation from the states. It was IMPECCABLE. From the moment we walked in the service was superb and friendly. The food was beyond words. It was certainly an experience like few others I've had. I highly recommend making this place a priority when visiting Hull

Excellent food, a real surprise to find such quality in Hull! The beef dishes are very nice, I shared to cote de boeuf and savored every bite. The service was very bad (2 hours from the time we were seated the main course arrived), otherwise they would have earned a 5-star rating!

Having lived in Hull for many years, but not for a while, it was excellent to go back to visit friends and find such an amazing food experience right in the heart of the marina area, currently subject to huge regeneration investment. 1884 is a beautiful dining experience, from the decor, the menu, the vast array of drink varieties (22 Gins for example), and the fantastic food itself. The menu is not vast, but is filled with fish and meat dishes. This is certainly fine dining at its best. The food is prepared and presented beautifully, and the food tastes certainly as good as it looks. Even on a busy Saturday night, we were not rushed from our table, in fact, the staff were very happy to let us have big gaps between courses. The food is not cheap here, but then, this is NOT cheap food. It is worth saving up for if the prices are a little more than you'd normally pay. We'll done 1884 - the coveted star cannot be far away!

The food was amazing, the staff couldn't do enough for us, and as a coeliac, they took time to adjust the menu for me do that I had lots to choose from :)
