We went to the Omni to enjoy the spa. For supper we went to the 1776 room which I had never been to. The staff were very friendly and helpful, however, getting served took a little more time than we would’ve liked. Once the food arrived, it was very good and very tasty. I had the lobster and others in the group had the salmon and the fillet however, the fillet was a little overcooked, but still tasty. All the sides came à la carte and were large enough for two or three servings. It’s a little pricey, but if you want a nice night out, I would recommend it.

Hannah was our server and from the time we were seated we felt reassured that our experience would be memorable. My husband had the octopus as an appetizer and I had the chopped salad. Both were excellent. The chopped salad is extremely rich and filling. The service was 5 star. I had the Vesper as my cocktail - also wonderful. Worth the price for an outstanding experience. Thanks Hannah

I had my birthday dinner during our 3 day stay, and the meal was absolutely phenomenal. We got a little unlucky with timing as the kitchen got slammed and we ended up waiting over an hour for our meal, but the server and the manager were surprisingly proactive. Many tables were in the same situation and they came out and talked to each and every one of us and offered to comp things off the bill without having to be asked. That's good service! Our server said she's worked there for many many years and only seen a handful of delays like this, so I doubt many people experience it but it was incredibly refreshing to see them handle it the way they did. As for the food, each dish was absolutely delicious. We started off with their rosemary and sea salted butter, and this is now our benchmark for the best bread we've ever received at a restaurant. The bread was fresh as could be, and with the amazing butter it was just the perfect combination. I got the filet mignon with the truffle butter and their house steak sauce, and both were absolutely incredible additions. The steak itself was awesome, but the truffle flavor had great flavor and was worth the cost to add it. The steak sauce was also mind blowing, and seeing as how I was very unsure what to add for a sauce I really got lucky there. I couldn't order it with anything else going forward, it was that good. My wife got the brie entree with phyllo do which she really enjoyed, and I had a chance to try it and thought it was very flavorful. As sides we got the truffle fries and the lobster mac - the truffle fries came out without truffle, but our server quickly corrected this and maybe they overcompensated, but it was COVERED in truffle sauce. Since truffle fries may be my wife and I's favorite thing in the world, we were in absolute heaven. The mac and cheese itself was out of this world, but the lobster I could have taken or left. I wish they just had a side dish of mac and cheese, because I'd probably order three and have that as my entree. Lastly for dinner we got the donut holes from Frontier Tavern (it's not on the 1796 menu, you have to ask) and at first they came out very burned but again, our server was on top of it and she had them replaced after. The caramel sauce with the donut holes was a perfect combination, and we ended up coming to the bar just to get another order the next night. The chocolate sauce was just OK, tasting a bit like Bosco/Hersheys chocolate syrup rather than a melted chocolate. Overall there were at least a few situations that needed correcting, but they did such a fantastic job at correcting them (mostly without needing to be asked) and the food itself was just so darn good that I have to give them 5 stars. We will definitely be back, and this restaurant will be on the top of our list!

Our server Michelle was extraordinary— along with the cuisine! She made us feel so comfortable and accommodated all our requests. The 8oz filet was prepared perfectly, and we also enjoyed the beef carpaccio & octopus! Highly recommend!!

My husband and I visited for our anniversary, what a great idea it was. We have never been to the resort before so this was a great way to check it out. We started with the shrimp cocktail and their cranberry bread, it was still warm and the flavors were perfect. For entrees I got the crab crakes, they tasted so fresh like they came from the ocean same day. My husband got the wagyu steak with onions and he said it was cooked to absolute perfection. We also shared the lobster mac n cheese, and WOW the chunks of lobster were huge! They also sent us home with a chocolate cupcake since we were celebrating, such a nice touch. Our server was very kind and presented the menu to us so we'd know exactly what was being offered. My only complaint is the lack of options for appetizers. I would've loved some stuffed mushrooms or cheese dip.
