About 1915

Set inside a red-brick powerhouse at Federal Mills, 1915 makes big milestone feasts feel effortless. Exposed brick, iron rafters, low lighting—an industrial hall tailored for crowded tables. Regulars skip the menu debates and let the kitchen dictate the pace with family-style set courses. Crisp croquettes, spiced dip, and charred skewers hit first, clearing the way for share platters of pork belly and roasted chat potatoes.

  • Industrial Powerhouse Setting: Housed within the historic Federal Mills powerhouse, complete with soaring ceilings, exposed brick, and factory windows.
  • Standout Small Plates: Crisp croquettes, spiced dip, and calamari lead the way as standout entrées before the larger sharing platters.
  • Chef-Led Group Feasts: Generous multi-course sharing menus take the guesswork out of ordering for tables and milestone celebrations.
  • Attentive Floor Service: Attentive staff and dedicated on-site event coordination keep group bookings running smoothly from arrival to dessert.
