    Service was good food was good. But they expanded the restaurant to include an outdoor porch area that was covered and heated. However, we were seated at the very last table in that section in a corner and it was cold and it’s an expensive meal and I would just recommend if you go there in the winter do not let them sit you in that back area of the porch.

    Michael is the best server at 1906. Was glad to get him again. Sitting outside, on the enclosed porch, this time of year is so nice. It is quieter and cooler and the lights and trees outside add to the ambiance. It is always a pleasure to enjoy fine dining within the gardens. Just reserve early, they are always booked far in advance during the holidays.

    We waited for an hour to be served. Three people ordered Salmon, one arrived room temperature, one undercooked and one just right. Heirloom spinach floating in liquid. Lobster mashed potatoes arrived as we were finishing dinner. Dessert was fabulous. Atmosphere was lovely, seating was great. It was my birthday and I was a bit sad that it went this way and apologized to my wife, sister and friend as I told them it would be wonderful. Oh well, guess they were too busy handling other guests.

    Delicious food, excellent service, cozy ambiance. I appreciate their attention to details, from the napkin holder to the cake decor. I’m very pleased as always. This time I especially appreciate that they featured wine that is donating to honey bee research. I cannot recommend this place enough!

    Highly recommend as a welcomed respite after touring many of the gardens by day. Mushroom soup was devine and the grilled pork chop was perfectly cooked to my specifications. Delightful popover bread served in a terracotta planter, and the theme of Longwood was present through out.

    We expected superior service and were very disappointed for as unique a menu, small a venue, and high a price point. It was our first time inside the venue having found it difficult to get a reservation in previous attempts. We had to coordinate both a dinner and garden reservation which was arduous. On-site we had to wait for water more than once, and the pace of service was dreadfully slow having to wait significantly longer than anticipated between each part of the meal, we ended up skipping dessert since we simply did not want to be stuck waiting any longer.

    Try to eat there every time we go to Longwood and have never been disappointed. Reservations are challenging during A Longwood Christmas but eating at 1906 is very convenient and the food is always great. The mushroom soup is a must. Bread in the flower pot keeps with the garden theme and the desserts are always inventive. It makes for a nice day to have dinner at 1906 and then stroll around the grounds enjoying the lights. Consider supporting the gardens by becoming a member!

    1906 at Longwood Gardens is truly a fine dining experience. Everything from the host and hostess to the service staff was top notch. And the food was outstanding! We actually sat on the "porch" which turns out to be a much quieter and less crowded atmosphere. It is totally covered and heated and was beyond comfortable!

    Always enjoy our visit to 1906. Crab dip was delicious as was the mushroom soup. 2 in our party had the salmon which they both enjoyed. My son had the lamb which he also enjoyed. I had the scallops au gratin which was good but a little too rich. Flower pot was not only beautiful but also delicious. We also enjoyed the cheese cake which was beautifully decorated. We can’t wait to go back!

    The service was good and our waitress was knowledgable and had a warm demeanor. The food was good and the wine list fine. The atmosphere, unfortunately, is impacted by the cafeteria next door. It's loud, the lights are too bright for an intimate fine dining experience, and there is no background music that we could here that would have helped set the mood of a fine dining experience. To use the restroom, you have to leave the restaurant, go past the cafeteria, and into the hallway where everyone enters from the outdoors and wait in line in the public bathroom. That really killed the feeling for me of enjoying a fine dining experience when I had to use the bathroom mid-meal. So, with improvements to the atmosphere and the addition of its own bathroom for diners, it can be a magical and special place.
