1796 Room — Restaurant in Bedford Township

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...

I chose the 1796 Room at the Omni Bedford Springs Resort to celebrate my birthday.

The highlights of the meal were the absolutely phenomenal bread and the Death By Chocolate cake for dessert. If you come to this restaurant- do not miss the Death By Chocolate. It's incredibly light and flavorful- decadently delicious.

My B-51 cocktail was also lovely. Our side of Sautéed Local Mushrooms was delicious and I do recommend that.

Our server was attentive and warm, which was much appreciated.

Otherwise, unfortunately, we were pretty disappointed with our meals.

The Crispy Fried Calamari was obviously frozen calamari with a quite heavy fry on it. The truffle dip didn't have any truffle that we could taste.

The Three Cheese Onion Soup was fine, but not amazing. There was so much bread and onion that there was scarcely any broth.

We splurged on the 8oz Wagyu Center cut Filet Mignon and I'm not sure how that is justified to be described as Wagyu. I've had more tender and flavorful Filet Mignon at half that price.

My husband's 8oz Wagyu Center cut Filet Mignon had a fish flavor to it, as though it'd been cooked right next to salmon.

Our dining companion's Jumbo Shrimp with garlic & herb butter spaghetti was better than our steaks, but just the pasta part. The shrimp was so over-cooked and rubbery as to be practically inedible.

The Truffle & Parmesan Fries were just okay. Frozen fries with some parmesan sprinkled on them.

I couldn't in good conscious rate the food lower than 3 stars based on how delicious the bread and cake were, but I wouldn't return here because the price does not in any way reflect the bulk of the quality of the food you will be receiving.

Over-cooked shrimp and a steak that tastes like fish at this price-point?...

This Meal Was Made Even More Exceptional Because of Our Server Emily!

Everything was Perfect, The single best wedge salad I’ve ever had, if they ever change or remove that salad from the menu I’ll cry!, It’s Unbelievable! The Ribeye was Perfectly delicious but the reason for this review was the unbelievable customer Service from Our Server Emily, I’m an award winning chef, With Plenty of Accolades to name, and I can tell you there isn’t a Restaurant in the world where Emily wouldn’t get hired on the spot!
