    I have Celiac Disease so getting the opportunity to go to a restaurant like 1776 is amazing, but beyond that, it is an outstanding restaurant in every way without even considering that all their fantasicly fabulous dishes are 100% gluten free, and prepared in a 100% gluten free kitchen and restaurant. It would no doubt be a special dinner every time for anyone at 1776, but for someone with Celiac's Disease, it is culinary heaven on earth. On top of all that, the people are wonderfully friendly and knowledgeable, the presentation is superb, and the service is top notch. It has instantly become my new favorite restaurant, by a long shot. Thank you 1776!

    Kathy checked us in - her greeting and smile makes you feel immediately at ‘home’. Crystal was our server this evening and she was fabulous! Our meals were fantastic - the Japanese tempura shrimp appetizer special was delicious! For dinner, I had the salmon special and my husband had the cioppino. The English sticky toffee pudding dessert is always on point! Thomas was the manager on duty tonight - he swung by our table to ensure we were having a great experience. Thank you Thomas! We love Region!

    Our first time at the Saddle Room and it was very very good!! The food was amazing and I like my steak well-done and it was still juicey and cooked perfectly!! Our waitress was fun, informational about wine, and personable. The atmosphere of the stone fireplace, low lighting, fun holiday music - perfect night out.
