    Late lunch here to celebrate our anniversary with a visit to Longwood Gardens was the best choice! This was a five star rating all the way. Communication about reservations pre visit was excellent…..info was readily and accurately provided. Upon arrival, our table - specially requested a more private table with a booth - was perfect! The best spot in the restaurant. Michael was our server and did a fantastic job advising us on the menu and providing top notch service throughout the meal. We started with Baked Barrata which was delicious! Every drop finished and wiped up with the remainder of the excellent hot flower cup bread (we each got a mini loaf!). I had the rainbow trout with fingerly potatoes and carrots thinly sliced, peas, and an amazing Dijon sauce on the side. Best trout i have ever had…..split in half, broiled nicely on top, and stuffed with a green - so moist, fresh, and excellently prepared. My husband had the burger and, in addition to being perfectly cooked with bacon and cheese, was huge! My husband said it was phenomenal. No room for dessert but I can imagine the carrot cake made with white ganache must have been incredible….thank you 1906 for a wonderful culinary experience!

    Fabulous food. Cheeseboard was lovely. Mushroom soup spectacular! Shrimp on salad was marvelous. Chocolate dessert, all great! We had many charming people bringing us different courses, drinks, etc. Our main server, Devon, was perfect. We sat outside on a lovely evening which added to a lovely anniversary dinner. Couldn’t have been better.

    Lovely spot for a pretty lunch at Longwood Gardens. Menu has specialty gourmet items. Scallops were delicious, and tuna salad and fried oysters were excellent. Classic mushroom soup is a wonderful starter. Bar offers a generous pour of wine and desserts were delicious. Celebrating a wedding anniversary, our dessert had a specialty chocolate with good wishes. wait staff was excellent. And don't forget - your LG membership card gives 10% off on the food bill. Thank you.

    The friendliest people welcome you and seat you as quickly as possible. The food is fresh and delicious using locally sourced products. I started with the berry salad which was excellent. My husband thought the Caesar salad had too much kale and needed more anchovy flavor. We both had the rainbow trout, which I thought was delicious if a bit on the dry side. The homemade sorbets were a perfect finish.

    An absolutely fabulous way to celebrate my birthday. Our waitress checked on us the perfect amount of times and trash was taken away as we finished each course. They also acknowledged and celebrated my birthday. Food was astounding and good portions for the price. I will absolutely be coming back.

    A very enticing menu. We had “Frolic in the Park”, crisp pork belly, chanterelles, pickled cherries and pistachios with an orange glaze”, a berry salad, which was beautifully composed, caviar deviled eggs, and crispy roasted asparagus. We were amazed, with so many wonderful offerings, to see so many hamburgers being served. Desserts were amazing-not to be missed!

    Our first time at 906 and it was amazing! We shared and enjoyed the strawberry gazpacho, mushroom soup, tuna tartare, scallops and rainbow trout. Every single dish was delicious and gorgeous, too! The dessert, (not sure of the name) vanilla cream was served in a glass honey pot and also delicious! Can’t wait to go back again!

    We were disappointed from the start when we weren't seated in the outdoor area which was requested when the reservation was made. The response was "well you're pretty close by a window." The meal was good however and the service was excellent, although a little pricy.

    Menu was ok, I like the more traditional ones from a year ago, had the strawberry soup, was not what I was told it would be. Almost tasted like tomato soup. Took a very long time for the food to come out. This has happened in the past. Overall good, but as a regular and member, I start to find it's time for a change
