We had a beautiful 10 year anniversary dinner at 1909. Special thanks to Bryan the manager who comped our first glasses of sparkling and was extremely attentive the entire service. Not only that but they provided a special extra dessert that was incredible (4 chocolates!) We enjoy a fine dining experience and this was definitely top notch. The evening was gorgeous, the restaurant itself is so elegant. They were busy, several events at the Otesaga Resort that night plus a wedding but we never felt rushed or ignored. The bread service presentation is so much fun and delicious. We loved our entrees but needed to pack some bites away. We accidentally left without them (note they leave it at the host stand!) and Bryan called to see if we were staying at the resort and wanted to come grab it. Unfortunately, we couldn't get a room there so we were 20 minutes away. We planned to swing by the next day but didn't (so sorry about that, Bryan, thanks again for storing it for us!) We can't wait to go back, hopefully with a stay at the resort, and eat there again. The trout roe with crab emulsion with the salmon was just incredible, I'm still thinking about it.

From start to finish, it was one of the most memorable dining experiences. Greg, our server was top notch. Daniel, the manager, made sure everything ran smoothly. Kathleen, the bartender was an expert at her craft. The chef’s creations were sublime. The only knock is that there was a lone diner who decided that it was an appropriate place to enjoy her experience there while on speaker phone the entire time. But that’s on the guest, not the restaurant. This place is worth the visit from wherever you are.

We scheduled late lunch and appreciated quick attention from waitstaff and swift delivery of delicious appetizers to enjoy while deciding on our meals. Entrees arrived in perfect time, beautifully plated and delicious. We enjoyed conversation with our delightful server (who said he is from Jamaica) and we count the entire experience as a memorable end-of-summer meal.

Excellent service. Already low music was turned off at our request (senior citizens). We were well accommodated with share plates to turn the lobster rolls into “hors d’œuvres” and likewise to share desserts. The sautéed soft shell crabs were excellent as were the pork chops. Highly recommended.

Waited to be seated for several minutes while hostess passed us many times without acknowledging us Table services was impeccable Food delicious as usual
