1776 by David Burke

"I had an incredible experience at this place! It exuded the ambiance and sophistication of fine dining, akin to most classic steak houses, with its à la carte menu offering a range of separate items.

For my main course, I selected the aged 18oz ribeye cooked to perfection. While it was undeniably one of the best steaks I've had, it lacked the distinctive aged flavor. Without knowing the duration of its aging process, my assumption is it was aged for a maximum of two days, possibly closer to just one. I believe they could maintain the same price point by either removing the 'aged' label or specifying the duration of aging.

Aside from the steak, we indulged in their interactive experiences, including computerized driving, soccer, and American football. The appetizers we ordered--bacon, calamari, and margarita pizza--were delightful. The bacon stood out as exceptional, the calamari was decent, and while the pizza was tasty, I found the sauce to be overly salty.

Overall, it's an excellent spot to hang out, boasting a fantastic atmosphere and exceptional staff."

I recently had the pleasure of dining at 1776 and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and impeccable service.

Now, let's talk about the food. Oh, the food! Every dish that graced our table was a culinary masterpiece. Each bite was bursting with flavor, showcasing the chef's talent and dedication to creating exceptional cuisine. From the appetizers to the main course and dessert, every dish was a delight for the senses.

Whether you're looking for a cozy dinner for two or a celebratory meal with friends and family, I cannot recommend 1776 enough. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

This has been on my list of restaurants to go to. My buddy treated me out. Wonderful experience. The decor was very eye catching. It got me staring and observing more than just glancing.

We sat at the bar, Tuesday night vibes. We were surprised it was pretty busy for early weeknight.

I told my friend to order whatever but that I needed to get that bacon that I see on all the social medias haha. So indeed we got that.

Drinks:
1776 Old Fashioned $16
sagamore rye, banana liqueur, baking spices, bitters
I really enjoyed this drink, the banana flavor is subtle

Meet Your Matcha$17
green tea infused hendricks gin, matcha, yuzu, simple syrup, lemon, basil leaves
This drink sounded very interesting, I didn't care for it much but I did drink it all haha.

Food:
Clothesline Bacon For Two$23
black pepper, maple glaze, pickle, lemon
Oh my, this was soooo good. I love how the bacon grease was just marinating the pickle. Ugh! Seasoned to perfections.

Bread Service$6/$12
gruyere popovers, corn bread, sweet butter, radishes, grapes
This was a nice platter. The gruyere popovers were good but I think mine had too much... pepper seeds? Or something. Something on there was too much. The cornbread I devoured WITH the sweet butter. Oh goodness haha. The radishes were delicious, they were a different size than I have ever seen before so I don't know if this was a different kind of radish. It was really good. The taste was minimal than the usual radish that I usually need to put salt or lemon on it. Grapes were big and juicy!

Octopus Chorizo Kabobs$21
lemon, olives, chili oil
LOOOOOVED this! The octopus was soft, the chorizo was beyond flavorful!

1776 House Roll$26
spicy tuna, cucumber, avocado, seared sashimi, eel sauce, sweet & spicy sauce
This roll was really special. Had the perfect amount of kick. Every bite I had to savor. Yum!

For dessert we got the pie of the day which was key lime pie. It was like dusted on gold shimmer, so pretty. The fruit surrounded was so fresh.

Great experience here, would love to come again.

This Bisom short rib was SOOOO tender. I didn't even need a knife, my fork did enough of the work for me. It was cooked to perfection, no notes about this dish - 10/10 recommend!

I've sat at the bar for happy hour and have eaten on the patio for lunch, but this was my first time enjoying a proper sit down dinner inside. I was absolutely blown away. I can see why 1776 is so popular because the food is decadent, the service is wonderful and the vibes are so swanky. Hubs and I don't get to go out for dinner often, so when we do we want it to feel like a special night out. 1776 fits the bill.

On to the eats and sips! They have an extensive cocktail menu and there were so many fun winter seasonal drinks. I had a cranberry champagne cocktail and it was so refreshing. To start we shared a wedge and crab lollipops (on special). The wedge was perfection and came topped with lots of their signature clothesline bacon. You must try this bacon in some way, shape or form if you visit. The crab lollies were basically just fried balls of crab cake decadence. For my main I had the pasta bolognese. I order this dish a lot, and this was some of the better bolognese that I've tried. Prices are high but portions are very large.

The inside is beautifully decorated, especially for the holidays. This was a fab experience from start to finish and I cannot wait to come back.

The food was excellent! We started the meal with the mango salmon roll, clothesline pork, kale Cesar salad and all were delicious & good portions to share with a few people. For my entree I had the 12 oz filet mignon and it was a perfect "medium"
We tried many of the sides- hipster fried & Brussels were my FAV!!! Will definitely be back!!!

My friends and I were so excited to come here after reading all the reviews, but it ended up just being ok.

Parking options include valet, street parking, or the garage around the corner from the restaurant. We made reservations ahead of time so we had no problems getting seated shortly after arriving. Service was slow and we ended up ordering our meals with another server because we didn't see ours.

We started with a couple cocktails. I don't recall the name of the drink I ordered (pink with the spicy rim in the picture). The drink itself was good but if you look at the picture, I basically received a ball of ice with a half filled beverage. That picture was before I even had a sip of it.

We ordered the Love Tuna Roll to share and I ordered Maple Glazed Cedar Plank Salmon. I was not really a fan of the Maple Glazed Cedar Plank Salmon. The middle of the salmon was undercooked so I didn't eat much of it. The Love Tuna Roll was probably my favorite part of the meal - lovely presentation and taste. I wish I ordered that for my meal instead.

For the price we paid, it was a bit disappointing.

Had to wait a bit even after I made a reservation but they were extremely busy.

The food was amazing! Highly recommend the bison short rib cavatelli!

Came here for a dinner with a friend before a comedy show. As many mentioned before it felt a bit underwhelming. So food was okay but the ambiance of the place was like I was in Penn Station. The constant sound of somebody's conversation made it impossible to talk without yelling. The tables are so close together it is insane. The service was good after we complained that our waiter disappeared for a while. Over all I think it's okay but I expected better from this name. Sushi was good as was the pizza the octopus was meh. My friend's drink was not good so she had to ask to have it changed. Doubt I will be back here again.

I came here for Sunday brunch 2 days before Valentines Day. RED FLAG RED FLAG!! Everyone knows the days before and after are for side chicks lmao

Luckily I went with my cousin HOWEVER she was almost an hour late getting to our table (more on that in a bit) so I LOOKED like a side chick that got stood up lmaaooooooo
So embarrassing. Lord. Especially since the place was crawling with couples. The waiter came over multiple times, each visit more solemn and sympathetic than the last. And I wanted to say "it's not what you think. I promise I'm desirable."

So my cousin gets there - sigh of relief from myself and everyone else who was watching this go down (I'm the main character in everyone's story of course). By the time she came I was a drink or two deep. Thankfully she came to party.

We started with some crab (?) dumplings and Brussels sprouts. We shared a delicious Caesar between us.
Ordinarily I don't order chicken out (WE GOT CHICKEN AT HOME!!) but the Milanese was too enticing to pass up. Perhaps the best chicken I've ever had. My cousin went with a breakfast pizza. We also had glasses of wine. I think we passed on dessert. $200+ and some change out the door. Happy Valentine's Day to me.

BIBS AND BOBS:

-plenty of banquettes and bench seating inside so plus size people sit back and relax with ease

-park on the street. If you park in the garage it leads you to the ~BACKROOMS~ I read it in a previous review so I parked around the square. My cousin didn't and ended up lost in the vortex for 40 minutes. She said each new elevator would take her to a new corner of the building - East, west, north, south but never to the floor with the restaurant. Freaking weird man.
