All the food was delightful and most importantly for me, Gluten Free. The server also let me know me of what had dairy on the menu when I asked, which makes it much easier for me to order. She knew upfront and didn’t have to check, which was great.

Great option to have in the suburbs! The drinks are always tasty and inventive. Food is hit or miss. I had a fish dish here that had no flavor what so ever but then I came back and the food has improved. I know they’re was a mention of the chef having been replaced at some point. Sit at the bar for the best atmosphere.

The food was soooo yummy! Loved the atmosphere. Coffee was great. Servers were nice too. The desert was probably my favorite thing to eat lol the bathrooms were very clean and cool Inside. I will definitely be back. Can’t wait to check out the lunch menu!!

Good but nothing really stands out that really qualifies as fine dining… advertised as farm to table but doesn’t compare to any other farm to table restaurants I have been to. little disappointed but friendly staff and good atmosphere.

Excellent food, and even better service. The menu offers a wide variety without overwhelming you with choices. Vegetarian options were abundant without being the focus of the menu. The dishes were focused without adding too much so that each element stands on its own. Will definitely be back, can’t wait to see what their next menu brings. My compliments to the chefs and staff!

The food is out of this world and the chef is so creative! The service is always top notch, and very thoughtful! The atmosphere is spot on for the exceptional experience of fine dining and farm (local) to table options! The wine list is as extraordinary as the experts serving it!

I really enjoyed our dinner here! Our waitress Kelly was amazing. We started with charcuterie which came with an amazing cheddar. For the main I chose the elk rack- I’d never had elk before and it was phenomenal, and cooked perfectly temperature-wise. Also tried the apple fritters for dessert. We will be back!

This was our first visit to 1776 and we loved it. Despite it being a cool autumn evening, the outdoor seating was pleasing and comfortable. My wife and I both appreciated that the music was not loud–we could easily have a conversation without trying to speak over the music.

If you haven’t tried this place – DO IT. I have never been anywhere quite like it and enjoyed every single dish. My friends and I each ordered different items and shared.. everything was delicious. The service was excellent. Everything across the board was amazing. Absolutely will be back!

Amazing birthday dinner! The food was excellent , so much flavor and paired well with our cocktails and wine. Our server Kelly was kind, and informative and made us feel welcomed as if we were regulars visiting, we definitely will be now. I can’t wait to visit again! The owner also stopped by our table to check in often which made the dinner extra special. Safe for celiac disease, and truly that in itself was a peace of mind to enjoy a beautiful dinner without the worry of cross contamination. Thank you!
