Had the chef’s tasting menu which was perfect in every way. Each course was delicious, imaginative and expertly prepared. Started out with an arugula salad which had so many contrasting tastes and textures, followed by swordfish “belly” kabobs which were very tasty. Next shrimp linguini, 3 huge shrimp with pasta perfectly prepared, followed by a dark chocolate budino. Meal was fabulous. Companion enjoyed oysters with a caviar dressing, followed by an expertly prepared flank steak with fried olives. Every dish had a some unusual interesting preparation which delighted the palate. Drift is truly a winner.

My husband and I had the pleasure of dining at 1776 Steakhouse, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Our waiter, Paul, was nothing short of amazing. His service was impeccable—warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. He made excellent recommendations, checked in at just the right moments, and ensured our evening was flawless. Paul’s professionalism and genuine care deserve a solid 10/10! The food was equally spectacular. Every dish was cooked to perfection, from the appetizers to the perfectly seared steaks. My husband and I couldn’t stop talking about how delicious everything was—we were truly impressed by the quality and presentation. If you’re looking for a place with incredible food and top-tier service, 1776 Steakhouse is the perfect choice. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

Thoroughly enjoyed dinner here for my birthday. (Although they never recognized my birthday but it was on the reservation). Beautiful decor, cozy, nice bar area, great menu and delicious food. We will return.

Tonight we ordered two different items. 1. Pink Himalayan Salt Block Combo with steak and shrimp. So good. 2. Crème Brûlée Cheesecake was delicious. Our filet mignon and bone in rib eye was excellent tonight. Service was excellent. Happy New Year!

The host, waitress and staff were absolutely wonderful. The food was delicious. It was my Birthday and they treated me so nice. My husband and I will definitely go back.
