I had my birthday dinner during our 3 day stay, and the meal was absolutely phenomenal. We got a little unlucky with timing as the kitchen got slammed and we ended up waiting over an hour for our meal, but the server and the manager were surprisingly proactive. Many tables were in the same situation and they came out and talked to each and every one of us and offered to comp things off the bill without having to be asked. That's good service! Our server said she's worked there for many many years and only seen a handful of delays like this, so I doubt many people experience it but it was incredibly refreshing to see them handle it the way they did.
As for the food, each dish was absolutely delicious. We started off with their rosemary and sea salted butter, and this is now our benchmark for the best bread we've ever received at a restaurant. The bread was fresh as could be, and with the amazing butter it was just the perfect combination.
I got the filet mignon with the truffle butter and their house steak sauce, and both were absolutely incredible additions. The steak itself was awesome, but the truffle flavor had great flavor and was worth the cost to add it. The steak sauce was also mind blowing, and seeing as how I was very unsure what to add for a sauce I really got lucky there. I couldn't order it with anything else going forward, it was that good.
My wife got the brie entree with phyllo do which she really enjoyed, and I had a chance to try it and thought it was very flavorful.
As sides we got the truffle fries and the lobster mac - the truffle fries came out without truffle, but our server quickly corrected this and maybe they overcompensated, but it was COVERED in truffle sauce. Since truffle fries may be my wife and I's favorite thing in the world, we were in absolute heaven. The mac and cheese itself was out of this world, but the lobster I could have taken or left. I wish they just had a side dish of mac and cheese, because I'd probably order three and have that as my entree.
Lastly for dinner we got the donut holes from Frontier Tavern (it's not on the 1796 menu, you have to ask) and at first they came out very burned but again, our server was on top of it and she had them replaced after. The caramel sauce with the donut holes was a perfect combination, and we ended up coming to the bar just to get another order the next night. The chocolate sauce was just OK, tasting a bit like Bosco/Hersheys chocolate syrup rather than a melted chocolate.
Overall there were at least a few situations that needed correcting, but they did such a fantastic job at correcting them (mostly without needing to be asked) and the food itself was just so darn good that I have to give them 5 stars. We will definitely be back, and this restaurant will be on the top of our list!
Superior food. Had delicious steaks and amazing desserts. This was our first meal at Bedford Springs Omni and it was a perfect start to a great weekend!
Very good. Wonderful atmosphere. Good seating arrangement. Food was delicious. Nice portions, well flavored and seasoned. Usually l take into account menu prices but this is in an upscale resort so bring your wallet. Service was also impeccable. Neat place for a special occasion.
Fabulous. Great service. Tremendous menu. Wonderful wine list.
Absolutely wonderful restaurant. Ambiance is fun, service is excellent and friendly, and every dish on the menu is delicious (trust me, I've tried them all). Definitely give this place a try if you are staying at Bedford Springs resort, or even if you are just in the area!!
Had a beautiful dinner here! Upscale, moderately priced (in my opinion), great wine selection, awesome food choices. I would defintiely go back! And ask for Jacob! He was an awesome waiter and knows the menu and wines well!
We live in an area known for outstanding steak...yet, 1796 impressed us tremendously. The food is outstanding, even stellar, and the service lives up to the incredible food. Have the steak...get a reservation in advance, as this place is always busy.
