1799 called the police on a party of 7 Black women. We were very excited to celebrate our loved ones birthday yesterday and yet it took a turn for the worst. We were unaware of the hat policy and many people in our party cover their heads for spiritual purposes. We initially adhered to the policy, removed our hats and asked if it was ok to cover our heads with a scarf, the manager said it was fine. Another employee came to our table and told us were allowed to wear a head covering for religious or medical reasons. The general manager Thomas May then instructed us that we were to leave the premises and he would be calling the police on us.

Normally a great experience. This time the food wasn’t as great and don’t take kids there they don’t eat…$25 for 3 year old is ridiculous considering they only ate French fries and they weren’t part of the buffett.

My experience was wonderful except for the table given to us to dine. In my reservation I requested a table cloth table for two to celebrate a 63 old birthday. I was given the table at the entrance of the restaurant where people waited to be seated. In addition the table was under the spot light. I asked to be seated at another table and they honored my request. Everything else about the visited was excellent after that. The restaurant prides itself on providing a wonder experience as well as good food and it did.

This was our second time there and will not be the last . We had arrived at 5:50 for a 6pm reservation. Was seated by 6:05 and placing our order by 6:20 . The food came out in a timely manner ready to be served . Our waitress did not miss a beat and was absolutely on her A game . Def a great experience.

The only reason I am not giving it 5 stars is because the music level was quite high. In addition our reservation was at 12 and when we arrived 15 minutes early we were told the restaurant was not open and were offered to go to the bar to wait. Several customers were there waiting. Maybe we needed to be told beforehand to not show until the restaurant was fully opened. Otherwise s great dining experience

The alley way walk up to the restaurant entrance could be better. Alley walkups aren’t a bad thing. Hidden entrances, speakeasies, alley walkups, etc can be a vibe if you were to clean the storage section. The big party that was there were loud and I think it messes with the ambiance but I totally understand and I want you to get your money. Food was good and reasonably priced. My wife and I enjoyed ourselves.

We went for brunch on Sunday. Party of 4 with a 1:30pm reservation and wasn’t seated until 1:52pm. Biggest concern was brunch ended at 3:00pm but they did last call for food at 3:15pm. The food was delicious however the service was a bit spotty towards the end and we felt rushed despite not being seated more timely with a reservation. Noticed they delayed putting out more plates for the buffet around 2:30pm (bringing only 10 plates out at a time) which started causing a backup on getting food. We had to request our server a few times just to place additional drink orders. Felt intentionally inattentive after a while knowing the 18% gratuity was being added. The drinks were okay but the champagne wasn’t chilled! It was disappointing drinking room temperature water, Bellinis & mimosas. Overall would come back but only if an earlier reservation was available.

it was 30 minutes after our reservation before we got seated. It then took another 10-15 minutes before we even got water. The Belgian waffles, raw oysters and collard greens were great. But the omelets had no crab meat as promised, and some other items were disappointing.

Food is way too salty. And to be honest the quality of the steak is not that good for a high end steak house. Overall disappointed. Also for the price point the service has to be top tier. New silverware between courses and entrees should come out immediately after appetizers are finished.

We were seated promptly and everyone was friendly and professional getting us from the bar area to the hostess stand and then to our table. Our waiter was lovely; came with a friendly smile and treated us like we were special guest. The food itself was good; simple in its preparation, but tasty. The detractors were 1) that we needed to refill our wine glasses ourselves (though they were quite attentive with our water, thankfully, which I find lacking in many restaurants); and 2) it was *incredibly* loud in there. It was not helped by a table near us with one guest who was unbelievably loud herself; but we were in a lovely booth in the corner and it was still a challenge to hear each other speak. Overall it was a great experience and I must admit that I love the story of the name of the restaurant and history of its owner... that, the food, and the service will likely bring me back again in the future.

The atmosphere was intimate with a crowd that was mixed and balanced with respect to age, ethnicity, and lifestyle and gender. The food was delicious as well.

Food, especially the steaks and potatoes au gratin, was excellent! Our waiter, Alexander, and the sommelier, Austin, were also very knowledgeable and excellent. Given the quality of the food, the corkage fee is a really nice touch. The wine list contained many top wine selections (especially the California Cabs), but they are fairly young. As this was my first time here, I got a tour of the newly configured restaurant. The smaller private room and the garden tent look to be good for special events. One negative was the noise level. Some sound buffering in the main dining room would be a good thing.

We were seated 45 minutes after our reservation time. The food overall was good. However during the 90 minutes we were there the oysters, shrimp and smoked salmon were not changed or temp checked. Upon entry, the saxophonist, while beautifully played, was right next to the host stand so it was hard to hear, which just seemed like a poor layout issue.

The restaurant was fine. The setup of the tables so close to each other was off putting. The service was friendly but lacked polish. We were eating our salads and our steaks and sides arrived before they ever removed our salads. We didn’t have steak knives set in advance so we had to ask for them. The food was fine but we thought for the menu prices, we would have a more upscale experience.

As I celebrated my two best friends and our military careers as veterans I was referred to 1799 as great place to eat. The food was phenomenal. The Lamb Chops and Meatballs for the appetizers were amazing. I had the 16 oz Ribeye and the Collard Greens I can still taste in my mind. I am grateful for the ambiance and the required dress code. I love jazz and their selection of music was just right and not too loud where you were unable to have a conversation at your table. I am looking forward to my next visit. 5 stars is not enough for this place. It is definitely a 10!!
