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.

    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

    The service was great and our server was attentive, but this is pretty par for the course at the resort. The food was good, but not sure it was "that good." I would probably not dine here again and just go to the Tavern.

    Our meal at 1796 was very good. The quality of the steaks is what you would expect from a place that serves prime beef. The dry aged NY strip is very tender yet full of flavor. Our server Hannah was amazing, she made the whole experience even better and look forward to coming back.

    Service was excellent. Ambiance, just ok. Food was honestly a little disappointing. Steaks were overdone and under seasoned. Flavors of the sides were good, especially the steak sauce. Would expect more for the cost. Probably would not go back — Frontier Tavern had better food next door if staying at the Omni.

    Excellent service. Accommodating and friendly but a tad slow. I was okay with that because I had nowhere to be and was still in and out in a reasonable period of time. Server was the perfect mix of attentive but not overbearing. Food was probably 6/10? It was well cooked but unseasoned? That can sometimes allow the ingredients used to really shine, but somehow, it did not. The best part of the meal was the butter with smoked sea salt that went with the bread service. (That’s never a great look.) Cocktail was also strong and delicious and deserves mentioning.
