1906 at Longwood Gardens

Exceptional meal as always. Highly recommend. Beautiful presentation and innovative choices.

We have been coming to 1906 for our birthday and anniversary celebrations for the past 5 years. It is always a wonderful experience. The atmosphere and staff make it an enjoyable experience, not to mention the tour of the conservatory and grounds. Cannot wait until 1906 is back open in the new year.

If you are looking for a special occasion in the west chester/chadds ford area, you must consider 1906. My girlfriend and I went to see the Christmas lights at Longwood and then had dinner there. The ambience was perfect- light Christmas music (classy piano version), nicely spaced tables, beautiful serving dishes and arrangements. The food was so memorable as well. My favorite was the sweet potato cappuccino, which is actually a soup, and the 8oz filet mignon. Cooked perfectly! Amazing flavor. Our waitress was attentive and lively. What a great experience!

We toured the grounds and dined at 1906 on their terrace. The evening was fantastic! Thanks to the staff and good luck.

The perfect time to take a break from walking around the conservatory and gardens. Loved the quiet, relaxed atmosphere. The food was delicious. A great place to rejuvenate before heading out to view more of the gardens.

Enjoyed a lovely birthday dinner on the last evening of indoor dining. Although I understand changing the menu to prix fixe for the holiday, I wish there was another option for the main meal. Otherwise, the evening was phenomenal. Natalie was our server and she was genuine, personable, spent time going over the wine and options. It was a very relaxed and pleasant evening. I hope you reopen soon!!

A visit to Longwood is not complete unless we dine at 1906. Never a disappointment!

We were at 1906 Dec. 11th the day before indoor dining shut down. We had the sweet potato cappuccino appetizer (outrageous), the filet mignon done perfectly. Creme brulee for dessert. Service excellent as always. Love it here!!

This is the perfect respite to relax during your visit to Longwood Gardens. The food was superb. The atmosphere was relaxed and the service was excellent.

We had a wonderful time at 1906 at Longwood. The host was so pleasant and accommodating. We had a slight wait to which the host gave us complimentary drink.
We were taken to our immaculate table with a bag for our mask, flower tied on our napkin and a waiter to great us. We told the waiter we wanted to visit so not to rush us and he didn't. We started off with soup - delicious. Then we had our meal - I had salmon - awesome. Then dessert - creme brulee. Our waiter took very good care of us and was fun to be around. Would I come back again? Absolutely.

Ambience, service, quality, and quantity combined for a perfect meal.

Celebrating Christmas

Absolutely a wonderful dining experience and the service? Excellent!
Michael is the best!!!!

Great place to eat for special occasions while at Longwood Gardens. The food and service were excellent, This was not a family style restaurant as they did not have a children's menu. It is a quiet, fine dinning experience, a little costly, but worth it.

Fantastic thank goodness we were able to eat there before the governor shut everything down

Our Family Christmas Gathering

What a beautiful evening! The cocktails were excellent, food was absolutely delicious & Natalie was the very best waiter ever!!! Yes, the restaurant is a bit pricy, but worth every cent. This is such a special evening! Thank you!

The dining room was decorated in very country taste. Our reservation was on time with no wait. The food was exceptional starting with a bun served in a flower pot with very nice butter. My soup was the mushroom and it was served hot. I had the filet, which was cooked medium as I ordered. Dessert was good as was the cappuccino. We left with a small box of chocolates. A very nice meal served exceptionally.

Excellent Service, Atmosphere and very good food. An absolute must when visiting Longwood Gardens.

My friends and I enjoyed the meal and restaurant tremendously! The waitress was very helpful and explained the pixie meal options throughly and helped us make the right choices. We all enjoyed our meals and relaxing in the restaurant! Would highly recommend dining at the 1906 restaurant!

Service was excellent,food was delicious. Always a wonderful experience.

A little pricey for what was offered. T.he price fixe menu did not have many choices

Lovely dinning room with beautiful Christmas decorations.
Food and service was amazing. We did not feel rushed at all.
Great attention to detail from the napkins, utensils dishes used to present the courses!
Very gourmet and professionally presented!
We will be coming back for sure!!!

Michael was the best and provided great service on Thursday

Always a great eating experience. Sumptuous food, friendly service with a SMILE.

Always a treat to dine at 1906, great service and great food.

Every part of the meal was delicious; the scallops needed orzo or rice to complete the dish. All else was perfect!

The salmon was great, the mushroom soup was outstanding and the service was very attentive in a quiet environment.

We had prepaid for the three course lunch prior to our visit. Price included tax and gratuity. The selections for each course were excellent and we were exceptionally pleased with what we selected from the menu. Our server, John, was attentive, but not at all overbearing. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch!

My husband and I wanted to get away but still stay in Pennsylvania during Covid. The precautions that the staff took made us feel safe during COVID. We were able to eat outside with ventilation, six feet apart and still dine with delicious and seasonal flair. Our waitress was delicious! We highly recommend it to others!

Great restaurant and love the prix fix menu - very well curated. Nice wine menu to go with it! Attentive service, nice ambiance, great for date night or a weekend lunch/brunch.

Awesome experience, beautiful setting, great food and great service.

Food and service were excellent! We usually go to the Gardens as an Anniversary trip and celebrate at 1906. We'll be back again for sure...

Our waiter went above and beyond to make this a memorable experience

The atmosphere was so relaxing and not rushed! The food was delicious and nice portions too. Our server, Michael, was excellent! It was a wonderful break after walking around for a couple hours to sit and relax and then walk around again. We would definitely choose to do this again!

5 stars to this restaurant. Outstanding food and service

The ambience and food was delicious. The menu stated chocolate tart would have a bourbon ice cream with it and it didn’t. The cappuccino wasn’t hot. But the starters and cocktails were excellent!

We’ve tried to get a reservation at 1906 every time for 4 years or more that we’ve been to Longwood Gardens and could never get one! We finally landed a reservation, probably due to the pandemic limit and pre-pay requirement but we had a great meal and fabulous service! We hope to be back again and hope it’s not so hard to get another reservation! I guess that’s a sign of a popular place though!!!

I am so impressed with 1906. This was the first time my family dined out since COVID and it was such a great experience!!! Thank you for taking the necessary precautions and keeping us safe. The tables were spaced out 6 feet or more and everyone wore their masks appropriately. Thank you so much!! Stay safe!

We tried to go again, but Wolfe messed our reservation up! We’ll be back!!
