    The service was even better than the food, which was spectacular. Took my husband here for his 60th birthday celebration and the only thing I could possibly say remotely negative is that I didn’t like the color of the room. Lol. We tried several different “beginnings“, two entrées, two desserts and shared everything, so we got to try a lot of different dishes. Our favorites were the smoked ravioli, tartare, PB&J and the ribeye special.  Cannot wait to have our next celebration at 1909.  Our server was absolutely wonderful.  She made the occasion feel very special.

    We dined on a Thursday night in November and had a lovely meal. The food was outstanding starting with a sumptuous wedge salad and tasty shrimp cocktail. The leg of lamb was delectable and my ribeye steak was cooked to perfection. Our server was very good, although it was a little awkward when he offered to my wife for tasting, the wine that I had ordered. I wish the table had been set with a linen tablecloth - placemats are just not congruent with the otherwise elegant atmosphere. Special kudos to Brian, the manager, who immediately engaged us when the question of gluten sensitivity arose.

    Food and service were fantastic. I had the special with scallops. Every part of the dish was exquisite. We also had excellent service at Otesaga overall, but Clayton at 1909 was very congenial and professional. We appreciated the genuine care. Thank you!!!

    Clayton G was the best waiter we have ever experienced in our lives. The steak was phenomenal. The asparagus was wonderful. Such an elegant and classy dining experience. Thank you all so much!
