About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for fine wines
Named for the year that Dr. John Anderson purchased the land upon which the resort now stands, 1796 Room has now been re-launched as a signature steak and chophouse, serving steaks, chops, fish and poultry of the highest quality.

1796 uses only the highest quality 21-day aged USDA prime beef. Our meats are prepared at 1700° on our infrared broiler ensuring juiciness, tenderness and flavor.

Our world-class wine list is designed to match the quality of our food selection, and our professional staff is trained to recommend the perfect wine pairing with your meal.

Creating a relaxed yet upscale atmosphere of warm sophistication, the new 1796 Room is a dining experience not to be missed.

    My New York Strip (medium to medium rare) was high quality and prepared well. Asparagus and mashed potatoes were also very well crafted. A New York City or Chicago steak in Bedford!

    Hannah our server was spectacular. She is warm, friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The food is consistently wonderful and truly one of the best meals I have enjoyed this year. My friend and I both enjoyed the lobster and filet mignon. Both are absolutely top notch.

    My wife and I both had filet mignon (6 oz): cooked to perfection, tender, and delicious. Side of carrots and mashed potatoes were also delicious. Remember when ordering sides that there is enough for two people. Waitress (Michelle) was very pleasant and attentive. She answered our questions competently and stopped by the table often to make sure we had what we wanted. Ambiance was outstanding. The dining room is part of the original tavern from 1796. There is a fine display of Revolutionary War armaments. Lighting is moderate to add to the atmosphere. Hostess was very accommodating when I requested a table away from the noisy party ahead of us in line. Reservations are a must especially later in the evening. We ate at 5 PM and the restaurant was about half full. By the time we left at 7 PM it was almost full.

    Normally this place is absolutely amazing . However something has changed and went massively down hill . I bring people here all the time for certain food items . 400 dollars worth of food and drinks this time and only one thing was edible . The rest had to get tossed . Staff was very understanding and apologetic. However only a small portion of the entire bill was taken off . I would rank it up to a bad night in the kitchen maybe but at this level and this price , that can’t be an excuse . Extremely disappointed
