Cocktails were excellent and dinner was superb. The hotel and restaurant staff are friendly and knowledgeable.
Our anniversary dinner was perfect in every way.
Evening dinner as a couple. I started the evening with a blood orange cosmopolitan, very tasty. I ordered off the small plate menu-arugula salad with walnuts-followed by crab dish with beets. My partner ordered the asparagus soup and a ribeye steak-he said the soup was good, the ribeye steak was average, the side of carrots wasn’t cooked. Ambiance would have been better if we were able to see-our table was very dark -almost impossible to read the menu.
Service was excellent, restaurant has great ambiance. With a dairy allergy-the desert menu had nothing to choose from-would be great if they would add at least one nondairy,
I can’t deny this was a special experience. The inn was very interesting and we would love to go stay there sometime. Dining at 1799 was interesting and had a very unique Ora with carefully selected music and decor. Service was especially friendly and made us feel very welcome. The only downfall to our dining experience was the dinner itself. Staged like a 3 course meal, we paid for a fancy dinner with no flavor and only got an entree. We both ordered the steak and unfortunately it was hard to chew and the sides had very little flavor - it was plated like a small plate, but put on a really large plate that took up the entire table. I should have taken a picture - but imagine two small to medium cuts or steak put on opposite sides of the plate with a smear of flavorless potatoes in the middle and some other small dollops of something or other that also had no flavor. So, there was that. It’s saving grace was the excellent red wine that my husband cleverly paired with it, and the really tasty flatbread (it was really a cracker) but tasted amazing.
