Update: 1899 Bar and Grill in Flagstaff, Arizona

This is only an update. Read the full original review and see full lunch and dinner menus HERE.
Gave 1899 another try today. Surprised to be back a week or so again after their opening to find they already have different french fries. The good news is that they are much tastier fries - and waffle style. Still, I would have thought they settled on the type of fries they'd serve before the grand opening last week.
This visit we opted for the Grilled Chicken Sandwich and the Steak Sandwich as our entrees. The 1899 chicken sandwich is one of the best I've had in town. It comes with a delightful lemon lavender aioli sauce drizzled on top. Great aroma greeting your nose as you dig in. The chicken also had a great fire roasted flavor. Its served on focaccia bread to complete the experience. The Steak Sandwich, however, was a complete disappointment. Unlike most steak sandwiches it was serve as one large piece of meat, which would have been fine if the steak was at all tender. But it was far from it. It was not really edible as a sandwich and not flavorful enough to slice up like steak. However, when the waitress asked if everything was ok and saw the struggle trying to eat the sandwich, she apologized and comped the entree.
We'll head here again after they get settled and try dinner.
