   I have never in my 53 years of life bothered to take the time to write a review, but after visiting 1776, I just knew I needed to! I was diagnosed with Celiac disease 27 years ago, and hands down, this was THE BEST gluten free food I have ever eaten! Everything was so fresh and delicious! And our party felt so safe eating there, as it is a 100 percent gluten free kitchen! And not just the food was outstanding, our server Josh was just as wonderful! He was so articulate, kind, hospitable, and knowledgeable. We are so grateful to have found this gem, and we will definitely be going back again and again!

   We were the only ones in the restaurant since we dined early on a Wednesday. Our food took forever and it was cold when it arrived. The food was just ok. Definitely not worth the price! We could’ve had more drinks however our table was not addressed very frequently. We really didn’t care for the menu.

   Great food. Friendly, helpful service. Chosen for the gluten-free menu, which did not disappoint.

   Really enjoyed our meals and wine. The flavors were unique and outstanding. Our server was friendly and attentive helpful with menu questions. Wednesday is half price wine for all bottles $76 and under so that was the cherry on top!

   1776 is our favorite dining experience in Crystal Lake. Excellent food and service. Their weekly specials draw us in to dine, and their 1/2 price wine bottles on Wednesdays are a fabulous deal.

   I always enjoy 1776. This time I had the specialty Old Fashioned, shared the Brussels sprouts appetizer with my table, had the duck confit with black lentils as my main and the grapefruit sabayon for dessert. The duck was tender and delicious while the black lentils were a delicious complement. The Brussels sprouts are a repeated favorite. The dessert was totally different than anything I e had before - the tartness offset by the subtle sweet of the candied grapefruit slices. The old fashioned was also good. This is a very popular small restaurant and they have more than one seating a night. If you have the first seating you will not be able to stay overlong. We were there for over two hours before being advised we could sit at the bar if we wished to continue with our conversation as there were diners at the bar waiting for our table. However we were pretty much ready to leave. We were there on a Friday night which is more likely to be a night out evening than the middle of the week. Also looking back in the evening, I think there were longer stretches between courses than in the past. Two diners at our table ordered the steak and enjoyed it. The third got the scallops. If she were being picky, she thought they were a touch overcooked. The s’more pie was also ordered. It was large enough to take a good portion home and it was very rich with the definite taste of a s’more but very creamy like a silk pie. They are very accommodating to any allergies. They change up the menu quite often which means we can always look forward to something new.
