1776 Morristown

I had this place saved to try for the longest time because so many people kept hyping it up. Maybe I came on a bad night? I wasn’t impressed. The sides weren’t hot, just warm like they were sitting for a while before coming to the table. One side was the French onion mashed potatoes. Full of flavor but the layers were still cold. Just mashed potatoes with barely warm shredded cheese (still in the cold shredded state) and warm onion mix on top. The best plate was the kale salad. I feel everything would have been five star had they been hot and not slightly warmer than room temp.

We’re celebrating tonight. This place is perfect for celebration of any kind. The interior is beautiful and welcoming, the food is outstanding. The service is very attentive. It would be my wish to eat here weekly. Unfortunately my budget doesn’t accommodate this desire. If you are looking for a special meal for any reason 1776 will not disappoint.

Went here for a company event and so my experience is likely shadowed / clouded by what was decided as a part of the event planning. The herb bread was warm and delicious. The salad with minimal blue cheese dressing was ok, would have appreciated more dressing. Ordered a cauliflower steak and it was half a head of cauliflower with barely any dressing and almost non-edible, there were no sides to it, no vegetables, no vegetarian protein! Will certainly not order that ever again. The staff was gracious and made a vegetarian pasta which was very flavorful! Not sure why that was not provided as an option. The dessert trio was was delicious!

Okay, so let me start by saying the place itself is really nice, the vibe, the decor, and the service were honestly perfect. Everyone was super attentive, which I appreciate. But the food… oh no. The steak was terrible. Like, no flavor, weird texture just not it. And the guacamole? Definitely not fresh. Tasted cheap and off, same with chips which was disappointing. For a spot that looks this good, I was expecting way better food quality, not worth the price. Cute place to sit and have a drink maybe, but definitely not coming back for the food.

I finally made it into 1776 in Morristown after driving by so many times, and it turned out to be the perfect spot for a friend’s 40th birthday. One thing I always tell clients as a realtor is that a home is about more than four walls—it’s about the lifestyle and experiences nearby. And this brunch was exactly that kind of experience. Our waiter was phenomenal—attentive, accommodating, and full of great suggestions. He even crafted the most beautiful mimosa tree with fun twists just for our group. I ordered the lobster eggs benedict with home fries (highly recommend), and the rest of the table had a mix of brunch dishes—every single plate was a win. The sunny afternoon could’ve been tough, but our waiter made sure we had as much shade as possible and even surprised our birthday girl with champagne. It made the whole celebration feel extra special. Brunch here was memorable, and it’s safe to say I’ll be back soon—this time to try dinner.

The ambiance of this place is super cute, though be prepared for heavy foot traffic! Our server was amazing , so friendly and attentive (wish I remembered his name!). The lobster dumplings were a must-try ,incredible texture and flavor. The yellow tail was also really good, can’t go wrong there. The shrimp and scallops were flavorful too, though the scallops were a little sandy. That said, the corn they came with was outstanding. My boyfriend ordered the pasta, which I personally wouldn’t recommend. While it had great flavor, the meat came in a large fatty chunk instead of being shredded, which made it tough to enjoy. Overall, though, it’s a great spot worth checking out!

We recently hosted a wedding dinner at this restaurant for 20 adults and 3 children, and everything exceeded our expectations. The food was absolutely amazing — every dish was delicious and beautifully presented. The service was outstanding from start to finish. I would especially like to recognize the manager, Sajal. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care made a huge difference. She was incredibly supportive throughout the entire process, always responsive, organized, and calm, which gave me so much peace of mind on such an important day. It was truly a pleasure working with her. Thank you to the entire team for helping make our wedding day so special and unforgettable. We are very grateful and highly recommend this restaurant for any special occasion.

We have dined here on a few occasions including a birthday and now Christmas Day diner. It has been an excellent experience each time. Amazing food and friendly staff. Definitely recommend. The clothesline bacon is a must try. Was excellent

I'll start this review off with a shout out to Ryan @ the Bar, who was very welcoming each visit I made here; very timely service with great small talk in between! Now the food; I was very impressed with the many foods I've tried. For starters, I had the Crispy Dynamite Roll, the Clothesline Bacon, the Lobster Dumplings, the Crispy Rice Cakes, and the Fried Calamari. All were outstanding, but the lobster dumplings was underwhelming. Now for entrees, I have tried the Herb Crusted Salmon, Braised Lamb Shank, the Filet, and the NY strip. All were amazingly delicious! Highly recommend the herb crusted salmon which lays on a bed of pureed goodness. For sides, we gave the brussel sprouts, general tso's broccoli & cauliflower, and fire-roasted heirloom carrots a try. The general tso brocc and cauliflower were OUT OF THIS WORLD. It's perfect as an app too. I was truly impressed by this recommendation by Ryan. Now the fun part: COCKTAILS! Hands down, the Plum & Glory is dangerously addicting! Such a refreshing drink that definitely sneaks up on you! The ambiance in this place is elegant! Nothing extremely fancy but usually filled with people either sitting at the bar or tables, or even standing around mingling! Definitely give this spot a visit!

If you're looking for a NYC vibe in NJ, this is it! I love the modern, contemporary ambiance of 1776--it has that sleek, big-city feel. I've been here many times, but one visit truly stood out. I had seen an email about a Veuve Clicquot promotion week and arrived just after it ended. When I mentioned to the bartender that I'm a huge Veuve fan (and had just earned my WSET Level 2 certification), he disappeared for a moment and returned with the Veuve Clicquot giveaways from the event. I was floored! That small gesture sealed it--the little things make a big difference! ...And the food is fantastic too - do yourself a favor and try the clothesline bacon and lobster roll. Bravo to the team--and a special thank you to that bartender--for turning a missed opportunity into a moment I'll never forget. -------------------------------------------- "Because dining is more than food - it's flavor, style and elegance that should be savored one bite at a time." - AMC

I like 1776! I was very happy going with out of town colleagues because they were so chill with letting us sit and drink for a bit before ordering food. The meals and appetizers themselves were great. I was a little annoyed because we received the last of every beer type we ordered, and some of the remaining choices weren't great. It was also 79 degrees inside that day. It was so hot, and they wouldn't even open the doors. It was obvious something was broken, but there were no moves to fix it. That being said though, I do generally like eating here. I like the varied menu and never have any issues with the food. You're definitely paying for the name and location, but it's really not that bad.

Meh, underwhelming experience overall. Nice venue in Morristown with convenient parking options. The service was ok, the drinks were disappointing and the food was mediocre. We had the crispy rice for one of two appetizers and it was not good, the rice was stale and chewy. The sushi roll that accompanied it was average. The entree was not memorable and for the money I wont be coming back.

Great location. In the middle of everything. A very extensive brunch menu. Can't wait. To be back to try more. Amazing staff.

1776 is located in a great part of Morristown on the ground floor of a beautiful building. You can either find street parking, or park in their garage ($10) in which you can take an elevator directly up to the restaurant. We sat at the bar for happy hour, and ordered some drinks along with a light dinner. The restaurant itself is very spacious and has a large outdoor space to dine in the summer months. Considering the prices from happy hour, I am pleased with my meal. My only complaint is how the oysters tasted a little too fishy. I was surprised to see how much of their menu consists of sushi. I would definitely go back more so for a casual lunch/dinner and would definitely hope to get bar seats.

After all the hype of 1776 we finally we able to try it this weekend for date night. 1776 fell short and then some for our dining experience and I will definitely never return for a meal here. We had reservations for 615pm and were promptly seated. We waited for over 20 minutes before our server showed up and simply asked what type of water we wanted no drinks before he disappeared for what was another 20 minutes to return with just water. Then a random girl Katie who was pleasant came over took our drink order, then miraculously our server reappeared to confirm Katie had taken our drink order. 45 minutes before getting our first round of drinks. The winter night mojito was completely watered down by the time it got to our table so it had been sitting a while. My lychee plum twist was good and extremely strong and I ended up giving it to my boyfriend as he was disappointed in his drink and we had no idea when we would be ordering our next ones. We ordered a few appetizers to start: Love tuna roll, clothesline bacon, and Gruyère, cheddar & herb brioche buns The clothesline bacon came out within 5-10 minutes and they char it with a blowtorch at your table. A nice touch and we were glad this came out first as we were absolutely starving. About maybe 25-30 minutes later our love tuna roll came out. It was good but I've had better speciality rolls elsewhere and it was not worth the price. We had finished our bottle of sparkling water and Gabriel asked if we wanted another and I had said no thank you we are sticking to our drinks and are good. 3 minutes later he appeared with an already opened bottle of water we did not request. The gruyere cheddar buns never came out and our server had fully disappeared for about 45 minutes at this point being impossible to find or flag down. We both needed a drink refill and when our server finally reappeared my boyfriend ordered an IPA and it never came until 20 minutes later he asked if I wanted a cocktail and then he finally placed my drink and my boyfriends IPA order in. Our entrees and sides came out together and each steak was paired with a pile of arugula. My filet was ordered black and blue. It came out maybe medium rare/rare. It was edible and alright in flavor but it definitely could have benefited from some sea salt on top. My boyfriend ordered the dry aged prime NY strip and was disappointed and would not let me send it back as it was more on the well done side and extremely fatty. He did not want to wait another hour to get food and be able to eat, which I understand but for the price and wait it should've been cooked to the proper temperature. Our sides were the Mac & cheese, onion soup mashed potatoes, and hipster fries. The hipster fries were perfectly crisp and well seasoned with the shishito peppers and parmesan cheese and a rather huge order as well. The Mac & cheese was delicious very cheesy and the breadcrumbs on top balanced it perfectly. The onion soup potatoes were good but not my type of side. We opted to not get dessert as the long wait times and impossible to find our server was very frustrating. For a well know steak restaurant it was very upsetting to know the best parts of the meal were everything but the steak. The next complaint I had is the music playing it was early 2000s club music which did not make sense for the restaurant. It made sense in the top golf part of the location but not for the main dining area. I was very disappointed in our server Gabriel for being hard to locate, not placing parts of order twice, and prioritizing the larger party to our right whom arrived after us but received drinks and appetizers before us. 1776 the food was average and extremely disappointed in the cuts of steak. Especially seeing the table next to us order ribeye which is generally a fatty cut and have our ny strip filled with fat. Overall I would say the food was average minus the steaks, our service was beyond disappointing. Sadly I would not recommend or return solely based on our Sunday evening dining experience. The restaurant itself was not even packed or busy so a major quality control check is in need for 1776.

Expensive but good! Service was friendly but can be a bit slow when the restaurant is full. A little upscale but the main dining room is very crowded. We sat at a high top at the bar area which was beautiful. 1. Tuna crudo - fresh with fruit on top for tang. Tuna was fresh 2. Ribeye - not as charred as other ribeyes but cooked to perfection otherwise. They do have a sauce on top which is a pet peeve of mine 3. Chocolate mousse - milk chocolate, light, good 4. Lemon cheesecake - small, not as tangy as I thought which was good Overall a good dinner and good to try at least once

Situated in the heart of Morristown's Green, which once was the site of George Washington's headquarters, 1776 by David Burke is a 7,000-square-foot space establishment. The most distinct feature in the main dining room is their contemporary 30-seat bar that's square in shape, marble-topped, and wearing sculpted green moss wall hangings that resemble a lush golf course. Adjoining is the Topgolf Swing Suite, which combines the ultimate dining experience with fun sports-themed activities. Some of us came last night as first-timers for a company event. The inside is modern and artsy, with plenty of seating and a bar that commands the room. This is an indoor golf simulation entertainment venue with eight rooms where patrons can play virtual golf as well as simulated sports including baseball, hockey, and soccer. My colleague and I started out with several rounds of golf with six members to a team. Their menu is full of delicious options to choose from the creation of Chef David Burke. As appetizers to share, we decided on the chef's famous Clothesline Bacon, Lobster Dumplings, Fried Calamari, Hipster Fries, Surf and Turf Skewers, Popcorn Chicken, Gruyère Cheddar Herb Brioche Buns, and Tuna & Salmon Tartare Tostones. For our meals, we decided on the Miso Glazed Chilean Sea Bass and Lemon Roasted Branzino, to name a few. Some of us saved room for dessert and got their DB's Cheesecake Lollipop Tree, Pumpkin Crème Brûlée, Apple Brioche Bread Pudding and Cookie Skillet. The clothesline bacon, consisting of three thick strips of crackly, hickory-smoked, maple-infused bacon, neatly clothespinned to a mini clothesline on a little wooden frame, was a star of the show. It was literally blowtorched in front of our eyes as an Instagram sensation. The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the food. Every dish we tried was cooked to perfection, bursting with flavor, and incredibly tender. Most of all, the presentation of all plates. Our servers, Christian and James, were the best. They were natural, very patient, attentive, and really knew how to make this event enjoyable, which we can recommend.

Ohh well, we had high hopes from this place and had it bookmarked for months on our list of restaurants to try. We came here for a Saturday night dinner. We ordered quite a few things off the menu including drinks from the mocktails section, everything was sub par and it did not even meet the standards of a nice restaurant. Sushi - Probably the worst we have had, I'm sorry but ShopRite sushi staff does a better job at sushi Cauliflower - Just okay, it was a bit overdone Salad - Nothing special about it, it was missing flavors Brussels Sprouts - Again just okay, was missing the crispness you look for Pizza - Yes you can guess, this was a lackluster as well The drink wasn't great either and then one might ask why 2 stars and not 1 star, it's because the saving grace was the staff as they were phenomenal right from the hostess to our server and everybody else were just plain awesome. I'd though skip this place and go elsewhere, plenty of good spots around this part of the town!!

Talk about a staggeringly uneven experience. I came here for the post-First of the Year Hike with three chums, one of whom specifically recommended it despite the fact that it was a little bougie and most of us were wearing hiking clothes. We made a reservation about half an hour ahead of time, which I've decided is one of the reasons we were warmly received and seated without incident despite being very mangy compared to other patrons. The interior is really something to behold. I got enormously distracted by the 3-D foliage portrait things on the wall (which probably have a sophisticated artistic name), and there were still quite a bit in the way of classy holiday decorations throughout despite the calendar turning to 2025. We obviously had to take an impromptu photo op next to some colonial-themed shizzle on our way out. Very spiffy. I knew going in that the Clothesline Bacon needed to be procured. How I've somehow managed to go this far in life without eating strips of bacon mimicking laundry is beyond me. Huge recommend both for style and substance - we deliberated over getting two of these orders but ultimately decided that one giant slab each would be sufficient given everything else we were getting, and that was the right call. Juicy, flavorful, amazing. The Lobster Dumplings were also great, and probably the highlight for me - cooked exactly right, with a creamy tomato miso that perfectly complemented it. Also a huge positive? My entree, the Bananas Foster French Toast. This is typically a heavier meal (which I didn't mind, given that I'd already been on a ceremonial hike and gym visit earlier in the day), but it was actually pretty light - they didn't overly douse this in syrup or anything, and it was maybe even slightly undercooked, which I always think is a huge positive. These weren't giant slabs of Texas Toast, so that helped as well. Definitely would get that again. It's unfortunate that there were a few significant negatives that dampened the meal overall. The service was honestly strange; our waiter was very nice but not that attentive and did not stop by consistently. There were huge stretches especially in the second half of our stay where he was just not around and we were all craning our necks looking around for him. Beyond that though, there seemed to be a lot of disorganization and confusion in the kitchen. Literally at least four or five times (it could have been more), we had someone stop at our table to ask if the drinks or meals they were holding were for us. They weren't. And one time after we told them it wasn't ours, the guy came back to double-check! Really odd. I don't know if one of their systems was down but it wasn't a good look and was actually starting to get annoying after the second time. That's just bad management. The low point for me was the cookie skillet, which was literally the worst I've ever had. I don't think this is a hard dessert to master (if Applebee's can do it, anyone can), and yet when I took the first bite and looked over at my top-tier chum who literally went to the school of hospitality and was chewing pensively herself, I knew it was missing a key ingredient. It basically tasted like a protein bar - it was missing the sugar or the vanilla or something. Just awful. Thankfully it DID have a scoop of vanilla ice cream on it, but we didn't even eat half of it. Huge, huge miss on the equivalent of a food layup. Should not happen. There was an awful lot to like here, but the bottom line is that for the price and ambience, this didn't hit the mark. You can have the greatest dishes in the world, but if the service and management aren't up to par, it's going to cancel out a lot of the good.

came here around 9pm on a friday night & walked right in to the bar, ordered our drinks, & sat outside. bartenders were attentive & fast. the outside area is so nice & comfortable - plenty of room. fun fact - they also have decaf for espresso martinis!

Well does one start . Having dined two David Burke eateries before : one in Bloomingdales in NYC and the other in Rumson now both closed . I was very disappointed . First of all we made sure to arrive during happy hour . At which we had to order and pay our drinks at the bar to bring it to our dining table . Then drinks included in, wines were limited . The only sauvignon blanc choice had ran out and no other options or brands were offered . The dining space inside and out is so expansive you feel like your eating inside a warehouse and not a restaurant . And it's the same for the service , too many tables for a waiter to cover . Mine appeared overwhelmed and had to keep coming back . We all ordered the same dish and since i can't even remembered what it was . That alone speaks volumes . i wouldn't go back .

We were really excited to finally try 1776 esp since it's a David Burke restaurant which we've always enjoyed his places. The ambiance was sleek and modern. The vibe felt lively without being too loud. We started with rosemary bacon was a great start, especially with the table side roasting and the bread basket was generous with a perfectly seasoned butter. Unfortunately my well-done steak came out rare (still bleeding) and was oddly the first dish to hit the table, even before everyone else's meals. They made an attempt to recook it but it was still too undercooked to eat (for my liking). The desserts were a great, we ordered the key lime pie which was delicious and beautifully plated. The the other cookie dessert was just as fun and tasty. We appreciated the manager comping over $100 from our bill, which felt fair given the steak issue. I ended up not being able to eat more than half of it.

Dining experience here was great! There is valet parking at the front along with a parking garage right next door. Interior is beautifully designed, we were sitting at a hightop table and it did not feel too crowded or that other people were sitting on top of us. There is a private room in the back for parties that also looked very nice. The surf and turf skewers I thought were just ok, kinda overpriced for what you get. The lamb shank app was very delicious and large portion. Lastly, I would recommend the general Tso cauliflower side, so crispy and delicious! Cocktails here are also unique and worth a try.

We recently went there for my husband's 40th. This was a large group, over 14 ppl. The apps were great and delicious. The dinner was prompt and everyone got their dinner together and it was very enjoyable. Over all it was a great experience and the delicious cocktails were a big plus. This was a pleasant experience and our waiter took great care of our table. Well done! & thank you to the waiter and the event planner Sajal!

Overall a great experience. Service was great, and it was easy to get a reservation. The reservations are currently through Sevenrooms and I think they used to be through Resy AND needed a deposit. Well, assuming my memory is correct, that is not true anymore. Though this was my first time here, I was familiar with the parking garage. That still doesn't make it a slam dunk knowing where you are. The construction on the main level makes things more confusing and even though I know Morristown pretty well, going outside to find the place after parking is a little disorienting if you haven't done this recently. The place is much bigger than I thought. I never looked at the menu online before, and I was happy to see there were a good number of choices to be had here. The Clothesline Bacon - black pepper, maple glaze, pickle, lemon is to die for. Any place looking to serve bacon as an appetizer should serve it this way. It was nice to see an extremely light a crispy fry to the Rock Shrimp & Calamari - zucchini, shishito peppers, citrus aioli. The Fried Goat Cheese & Strawberry Salad mixed greens, almonds, orange vinaigrette was good though a little light on the goat cheese part. Sharing the 34 oz Dry Aged Prime Porterhouse with the table worked out well. The Hipster Fries - shishito peppers, bacon, parmesan and the General Tso's Broccoli & Cauliflower contains cashews (very unique) were great sides. Enough food to take some home as well. The best experience ever? No, but certainly good enough to be back to try more things on the menu.

Came after the Morristown St. Patrick's Day Parade so it was bananas. Shuffling through the crowd was crazy but once it was finally my turn, I was happy the bartender wasn't an overwhelmed jerk. He was actually quite nice...and funny. We took our drinks to the patio where they had enough seating AND heaters so even though it was March, it was cool place to chill and hang.

I have always been a fan of Chef David Burke and his whimsical cuisine, and I had really enjoyed my visit to 1776 for a Yelp event a few years ago. That Elite function had included a $25 gift card, which I finally went back to use recently. The restaurant was located in a modern office building and provided a breadth of seating options. There was a patio out on the main thoroughfare, a massive bar with neighboring high-top tables, and several areas of standard seating. The decor was sleek, upscale, and playful, which perfectly mirrored the clientele with the same attributes. Though their beverage program sounded excellent, I was driving, so I decided to order one of their fancy mocktails instead. The Skinny Pineapple Jalapeno Margarita had a good deal of fruity sweetness and peppery heat. Unfortunately, the restaurant had gotten rid of their complementary popovers, so we had nothing to pair with our round of drinks. But, we were starving and needed to order some sort of starter. So, we opted for the chef's famous Clothesline Bacon, which was 3 large, thickly-sliced slabs of meat hanging from a small clothesline. I appreciated the kitschy presentation, but even if someone did not, they would be blown away by the tender pork that had been glazed in maple syrup and sprinkled with black pepper. Each bite was smoky, sweet, and zesty, and their juices were dripping onto a pickle that was laying underneath the line. That pickle was the best pickle I had ever had, since it was covered in all of that bacon grease! While that dish had come out rather quickly, the rest of our meal did not. However, our server was a complete delight and made sure to stop by and let us know that our food was being worked on, since she might have sensed our lack of patience. The main dishes finally arrived, and they were excellent! Based on positive review of the sushi during my event visit, I decided to order 2 rolls as my entree. I was a bit concerned that the 2 might not satisfy my hunger, but they were huge! Each roll had 10 pieces, making them much more substantial than maki tend to be. The Salmon Mango Roll contained salmon, avocado, and cucumber, and it had slices of fresh mango on the outside. The Dragon Roll was similarly stuffed with avocado and cucumber, but also shrimp tempura. Pieces of marinated eel were draped across the top. Both were super fresh and really flavorful, though if I had to choose my favorite of the 2, it would be the Dragon. I also tasted a piece of the 18-oz. Rosemary Salt-Crusted Prime Rib, which was only available on Fridays and Saturdays. The bite that I had needed salt, and I heard that some pieces had more salt than others, likely based on if they were near the crust or not. Despite the lack of seasoning on my slice, I thought the steak was tender and well-prepared. I also grabbed a few of the Hipster Fries, which were eclectic because they included shishito peppers and bacon. (They were also supposed to be sprinkled with parmesan cheese, but we asked for that to be omitted.) The fries were greasy, but were very flavorful and served in a giant bowl! We thought that they were reasonably priced at $12. 1776 provided a really delicious culinary experience in a creative atmosphere, and I would definitely like to return.

Trendy place, food was decent, way over priced for quality of meal. Very popular for whatever reason, and very loud. While I wouldn't go back, the service was very good so I can't say anything negative about that.

Was excited to finally try this restaurant and decided to stop by to try their happy hour. The place was mostly empty and we were met by the worst service we have encountered in a restaurant in the area. Staff everywhere talking to each other yet uninterested in helping you or answering any questions. Even the servers who brought the food out did not even answer when thanked our looked in our direction or offered to take the other dirty plates out. We sat at one of the smaller tables by the bar and no one came to offer us water or see if we wanted another drink. We had to get up and ask for another drink. They didn't even ask if the food was ok? Truly terrible. Food was bland. The only decent thing was the burger but after we noticed they serve it on copies of old menus we were disgusted. Not what we expected from a place like this.

i came here for happy hour, which features both drink and food specials. the service was excellant! love the space and natural lighting. wings: these needed some help. i got the garlic parm. they were skimp on meat. not that hot. to be honest the chicken felt overcooked? something was off, but it didnt feel plump and juicy. spicy tuna roll & california roll: i prefer the california because it had real crab meat. the spicy tuna roll was okay. not spicy at all. i felt both rolls were incredibly small and the rice was a bit hard. oysters: they had them on special 2 for $4. they were so small. barely a bite. cleaned well.

1776 has a pleasant upscale atmosphere with a large patio seating area, quite lovely. One cocktail a Proper was refreshing and well balanced. The other cocktail, see photo, a Oaxacan Paper Plane was a nice riff on a traditional paper plane however a major cocktail faux pas as it was served with a complete layer of ice floating on top! A complete no no!!! It tasted like it had the makings of a great cocktail but of course with the ice soon was watered down. I was actually shocked the bartender in such a place would make and serve it that way. Just plain sloppy bartending. That's the sole reason for my 2 stars.

I've sat at the bar for happy hour and have eaten on the patio for lunch, but this was my first time enjoying a proper sit down dinner inside. I was absolutely blown away. I can see why 1776 is so popular because the food is decadent, the service is wonderful and the vibes are so swanky. Hubs and I don't get to go out for dinner often, so when we do we want it to feel like a special night out. 1776 fits the bill. On to the eats and sips! They have an extensive cocktail menu and there were so many fun winter seasonal drinks. I had a cranberry champagne cocktail and it was so refreshing. To start we shared a wedge and crab lollipops (on special). The wedge was perfection and came topped with lots of their signature clothesline bacon. You must try this bacon in some way, shape or form if you visit. The crab lollies were basically just fried balls of crab cake decadence. For my main I had the pasta bolognese. I order this dish a lot, and this was some of the better bolognese that I've tried. Prices are high but portions are very large. The inside is beautifully decorated, especially for the holidays. This was a fab experience from start to finish and I cannot wait to come back.

Loved our impromptu Happy Hr! While our bartender was anything but friendly, the food and drinks were fantastic! I absolutely will be back! The sliders and oysters were so delicious! I highly recommend giving this gorgeously decorated spot a shot!

I am never disappointed when I visit 1776. I frequently go after work for happy hour with colleagues. We will sit at the bar and have drinks and apps. Service is excellent, even when busy. Drinks are well made, no rail liquors here! Atmosphere is lively and pleasant. It can get a little loud depending what time you're there, but worth the noise for the quality!

This has been on my list of restaurants to go to. My buddy treated me out. Wonderful experience. The decor was very eye catching. It got me staring and observing more than just glancing. We sat at the bar, Tuesday night vibes. We were surprised it was pretty busy for early weeknight. I told my friend to order whatever but that I needed to get that bacon that I see on all the social medias haha. So indeed we got that. Drinks: 1776 Old Fashioned $16 sagamore rye, banana liqueur, baking spices, bitters I really enjoyed this drink, the banana flavor is subtle Meet Your Matcha$17 green tea infused hendricks gin, matcha, yuzu, simple syrup, lemon, basil leaves This drink sounded very interesting, I didn't care for it much but I did drink it all haha. Food: Clothesline Bacon For Two$23 black pepper, maple glaze, pickle, lemon Oh my, this was soooo good. I love how the bacon grease was just marinating the pickle. Ugh! Seasoned to perfections. Bread Service$6/$12 gruyere popovers, corn bread, sweet butter, radishes, grapes This was a nice platter. The gruyere popovers were good but I think mine had too much... pepper seeds? Or something. Something on there was too much. The cornbread I devoured WITH the sweet butter. Oh goodness haha. The radishes were delicious, they were a different size than I have ever seen before so I don't know if this was a different kind of radish. It was really good. The taste was minimal than the usual radish that I usually need to put salt or lemon on it. Grapes were big and juicy! Octopus Chorizo Kabobs$21 lemon, olives, chili oil LOOOOOVED this! The octopus was soft, the chorizo was beyond flavorful! 1776 House Roll$26 spicy tuna, cucumber, avocado, seared sashimi, eel sauce, sweet & spicy sauce This roll was really special. Had the perfect amount of kick. Every bite I had to savor. Yum! For dessert we got the pie of the day which was key lime pie. It was like dusted on gold shimmer, so pretty. The fruit surrounded was so fresh. Great experience here, would love to come again.

We went with an early dinner on a Tuesday. The place is upscale and fancy. The service was good and the waitress friendly. We got a few drinks which were tasty and the sushi rolls were good, recommend the 1776 house roll. My father loved the salmon and my brother and I got the 20 oz steak. Quality. The mashed potatoes are good but you have to like the onion soup flavor. The only thing stopping this from being 5 stars is the price (very expensive) and the asparagus were definitely subpar and the worst thing we had. If I was in Morristown, I would go back but I'd also like to try Rod's for comparison. I've already been to Roots. Give it a try after payday.

I have never written a poor review before but I was extremely disappointed yesterday by the "drink" I paid $18 for. I ordered the lychee plum smash which was a sweet tequila cocktail in a martini glass... it was the smallest martini glass I've ever been served and it was only half-full. For $18 and a small glass, please fill it to the top at the very least.

The squid ink had great flavor but in my opinion the shrimp were undercooked, which you can see in the photo

Just terrible, the octopus was over cooked and the gnocchi had no flavor and was dry as a bone. My glass of wine was warmer than my coffee. Desert was an orange chocolate mousse and was a little gritty. Third strike for this place. Will never go back

My friends and I were so excited to come here after reading all the reviews, but it ended up just being ok. Parking options include valet, street parking, or the garage around the corner from the restaurant. We made reservations ahead of time so we had no problems getting seated shortly after arriving. Service was slow and we ended up ordering our meals with another server because we didn't see ours. We started with a couple cocktails. I don't recall the name of the drink I ordered (pink with the spicy rim in the picture). The drink itself was good but if you look at the picture, I basically received a ball of ice with a half filled beverage. That picture was before I even had a sip of it. We ordered the Love Tuna Roll to share and I ordered Maple Glazed Cedar Plank Salmon. I was not really a fan of the Maple Glazed Cedar Plank Salmon. The middle of the salmon was undercooked so I didn't eat much of it. The Love Tuna Roll was probably my favorite part of the meal - lovely presentation and taste. I wish I ordered that for my meal instead. For the price we paid, it was a bit disappointing.

Back a year later and WOW - there have been improvements. I gave 5 starts a year ago and I'm giving it another 5 stars. Ambiance is excellent - lighting is great, love the decor, and the playlist? Amazing. Maybe it's not for everyone, but I personally loved jamming out to Avril Lavigne and Linkin Park. Service was also great. Our waitress was attentive and personable. I enjoyed her wine recommendation. Food was fun AND tasty - not always a combo you can put together. The bacon is a show stopper in regards to looks, but it is also very good. It has an in depth flavor and a slight crisp. People may fight over the one pickle they give you. Bread service is a dream - 10/10 bread. It seems that they change the bread up because it was different from the popovers I had in the past. I love the new bread better. I also LOVE that they do the "cut your steak in the middle for me" thing when you order steak. They under cooked one of my guest's steak and fixed it right away. The owner? I think, stopped by our table to check in on us and made sure everything was going smoothly. Great place to celebrate! Is it expensive? Yeah. But hey, I feel the service and food quality is up there.

This is one of my favorite spots for brunch. Today I had lunch and it was delicious! I had their lobster dumplings which is one of my favorite appetizers and the French Dip for my meal. The sandwich was full of flavor! The service was perfect also. They always have great music playing to top off your dining experience!

I enthusiastically recommend 1776 Morristown in Morristown, NJ. We celebrated my sister's 75th birthday there and had a wonderful dinner, topped off with a fantastic custom cake from the pastry chef. The service was outstanding--our server, Karam, was well-informed, welcoming, and attentive, helping to make the night special. Each dish we tried, such as the California Roll, Lobster Dumplings, Filet Mignon, Sea Bass, Shrimp and Scallops, and Chicken Parmesan, was excellent. We're already looking forward to our next visit. Many thanks to the whole team for giving us such a memorable experience!

I came here for Sunday brunch 2 days before Valentines Day. RED FLAG RED FLAG!! Everyone knows the days before and after are for side chicks lmao Luckily I went with my cousin HOWEVER she was almost an hour late getting to our table (more on that in a bit) so I LOOKED like a side chick that got stood up lmaaooooooo So embarrassing. Lord. Especially since the place was crawling with couples. The waiter came over multiple times, each visit more solemn and sympathetic than the last. And I wanted to say "it's not what you think. I promise I'm desirable." So my cousin gets there - sigh of relief from myself and everyone else who was watching this go down (I'm the main character in everyone's story of course). By the time she came I was a drink or two deep. Thankfully she came to party. We started with some crab (?) dumplings and Brussels sprouts. We shared a delicious Caesar between us. Ordinarily I don't order chicken out (WE GOT CHICKEN AT HOME!!) but the Milanese was too enticing to pass up. Perhaps the best chicken I've ever had. My cousin went with a breakfast pizza. We also had glasses of wine. I think we passed on dessert. $200+ and some change out the door. Happy Valentine's Day to me. BIBS AND BOBS: -plenty of banquettes and bench seating inside so plus size people sit back and relax with ease -park on the street. If you park in the garage it leads you to the ~BACKROOMS~ I read it in a previous review so I parked around the square. My cousin didn't and ended up lost in the vortex for 40 minutes. She said each new elevator would take her to a new corner of the building - East, west, north, south but never to the floor with the restaurant. Freaking weird man.

We came here twice for dinner- 4/15/23 & 6/24/23 4/15/23: Saturday Evening Experience- Good. Inside dining was only available. * Service was good, considering it was extremely busy. Think they could've used more servers. * Drinks- Morristown Mule and Passionfruit Margarita. I had the margarita. It was a little too strong for my liking. * Appetizer- We shared a Watermelon Carpaccio. It was very good! Definitely more than enough for two people. * Entrees- My friend ordered the Baked eggplant. I ordered the Seared scallops. He enjoyed the eggplant. The scallops were over seared in my opinion. Wouldn't order them again. *Noise level- Could've been better. I think it was where we were sitting. * Parking- We had valeted the car. Possibly due to the bad weather, Valet was slow when we arrived. However, valet was very slow when retrieving the car. At that time the weather had cleared. 6/24/23 Saturday Evening Experience- Excellent! Inside and Outside dining was available. Our server was Matthew. He was superb!!! Would ask for him again!!! *Drinks- Moet & Chandon split and a beer. : D *Appetizers- We shared Lobster Dumplings and East & West Coast Oysters. Appetizers were delicious. Thought the lobster dumplings could've used a little more sauce. Otherwise, still very good. The East coast oysters were from Barnegate (NJ). They were good but less meaty than the West coast oysters (Washington State). The West coast oysters were sweet and very succulent. The champagne truly complimented the oysters. *Entrees- We ordered two medium 8 oz. filet mignons. Both beautifully prepared. The filet mignons were off the charts amazing! I couldn't finish my filet mignon, so I took it home for Sunday's lunch. *Dessert- Key lime Pie. This Key lime was prepared totally different. Lovely flavoring. : ) Overall it was unique and "dam delicious". Various berries surrounded the pie. It was topped off with an amazingly tasting meringue cookie. *Prices- Not cheap. However, 1776 is a wonderful evening out for a special occasion. *Noise level- Many diners, but no problems with noise. Possibly due to our seating location next to the outside dining area. *Parking- Hyatt Hotel garage parking for restaurant. You'll walk through the hotel to enter the restaurant. *Just remember what garage/elevator entrance you initially came in when leaving. *Extras: I understand the restaurant has a golf simulation suite. Would like to try it sometime. Definitely would return to 1776!

Great decor , delish food and fun presentation of food and drinks. The porterhouse steak and creamed spinach was amazing. Typical steakhouse prices. Drinks could have been better . Dirty martini was ok . My cosmo (with a splash of pineapple) was too bitter, even after I asked for more pineapple juice in it. Espresso martini was a good desert drink.

Chose this restaurant for Father's Day huge mistake it was buffet style for $85 per adult and $40 kids. The only thing they had for a child was the pasta station. As for everything else it was a joke I have never seen a worse spread in my life. We spent $600 on omelettes and greasy fatty meat. Who serves eggs at a dinner buffet at a classy restaurant? A complete waste of money and our time for a special occasion we thought would be enjoyable and good food. Never will go there again. They should be ashamed of themselves.

Thick pieces of bacon with a sweet smoked flavor with pepper on top. Calamari was good, but there was a lot of other fried zucchini and peppers in included. The lobster dumplings were a disappointment for me. The wrapper was too thick and too much. The flavor did not stand out. Could barely taste lobster in the filling. Sushi was good with the rice made perfectly. Oysters were fresh.

We're having a training session in Morristown for the week. All the guys said: Ok Bill, where are we going? We have a great David Burke restaurant in Garden City so I made reservations for 1776 by David Burke. *Parking: You can valet your car for $15 ($20 for VIP parking) or park for $6 bucks in the public garage. Walking in, 1776 by David Burke is ooh la la fancy. It's a very contemporary styled restaurant. We're seated and I ordered the smokey Old Fashioned. Very good starter for my meal. So far so good. Next we all order our appetizers. I have tried the Bacon on the clothesline appetizer multiple times. It's made with a black pepper maple glaze and one bite will change your brain chemistry. It's too legit to quit. It's also very expensive at $25 bucks. I went in another direction and chose lobster bisque. Once again, a solid starter from 1776. Here's where all of us started with high hopes and just fell flat. I ordered the 20oz Rib Eye. My buddy did some research and tells us the steak has a patent for its dry aging process?? (David Burke Himalayan Salt Aging process: Patent US 7.998.517 b2) I am so down to clown! My steak comes to me, its cooked perfectly and has a great sear. What's the problem? The problem is the steak itself. It's surrounded by fat. It's a 20oz steak with 10oz of bone and fat. We are all in agreement, the steak and the steak burger didn't feel high end. Chef Burke, you have a long list of restaurants. I think the butcher for The Red Salt room needs to do a QC check here.

Came here for brunch and it was pretty great! They have an indoor and outdoor space. The only thing I didn't appreciate is, while there was a lot of seating available, because we didn't stay at the hotel they didn't allow us to sit down outside or at a table. We had to sit at a high table, and let me be honest, if you're short or have a short torso you'll be struggling to eat. Besides the table issue, food here is pretty decent. We had eggs Benedict and crispy chicken sandwich.

It was good but could be better. Large restaurant with nice ambiance and I like the fact that they're open late. The prices however are ridiculous. I was seeing $75 for a plate of sushi on the menu???? You can get sushi for 2 at sushi lounge for $80... The only reason I went here was because I had a voucher otherwise I haven't stepped foot in here during my 4 years of living in Morristown. We started off with the clothesline bacon, good but the clips get hot from the torching and by the time they cool down the bacon will probably be cold. We used our napkins as mittens to take them off. The bacon was the blandest I've ever had which is probably why they gave us a lemon wedge with it? The rest of our food and drinks were great though. My drink was a special, it had tequila, prosecco, i cant remember what else but excellently crafted. The 20 oz Dry Aged Prime Ribeye was also great. Cooked to our liking and didn't need any additional salt. The chimichuri accompaniment was the best I've ever had. Better than all the latin restaurants I've been to.. the ingredients were fresh! We got the mac and cheese, creamed spinach, and general tsos broccoli and cauliflower as sides. All very good, the broccoli and cauliflower are indeed breaded though so definitely a little heavy but they were tastey for sure. When it was time to pack everything they didnt pack the ribeye bone.. very VERY disappointed. Overall an ok experience but improvments are welcome.

This Bisom short rib was SOOOO tender. I didn't even need a knife, my fork did enough of the work for me. It was cooked to perfection, no notes about this dish - 10/10 recommend!

Wonderful dinner last night!! Thank you PJ for taking great care of us. One of the best manhattans I have ever had. 3 of 4 ordered them. Cocktail experience!!! Loved my Cesar salad and the BACON!! Order the bacon.. I had the salmon and it was delicious, flavorful and made exactly how I like it. Our other 3 had the veal.. everyone raves about the veal. The one thing I really appreciated.. was one of our party did not receive the veal they way he ordered it. He let PJ know and it was taken care of. No issues.. just we want to make sure you are happy. Came back cooked perfectly. Thank you so much for this. It's so intimidating asking for what you want even when you are the customer. Outside seating is gorgeous. Great seating inside. Love the 1776!! And the white blend wine I had with my salmon. Recommend the espresso martini too. Cheers 1776!!

Place is beautiful, food is amazing and the service was awesome!!! We had a couple cocktails, some appetizers and main course, everything delicious!!! Will definitely come back!

Don't understand the yelp overall score of 3.5 stars. If you are going here expecting a cheap meal this is not the place for you. The food is and drink is definitely a bit pricey. But the service and taste is fantastic and worth the extra money. Resturant decor is very nice for a special occasion and get together. Henry is the best!!

Was there Saturday night for an early dinner. Ambiance, service, and wine were all excellent. The floor manager was very attentive and our server was friendly. However the huge disappointment were the steaks - we ordered two dried aged ribeyes. Probably the hardest steak I've ever had. It was like sawing through shoe leather. Definitely not USDA Prime quality. As a regular at Peter Luger's and Keen's, we were very disappointed in the steak quality. Have to knock off a star because of that. The Hipster fries were excellent, while the Mac & Cheese and Caesar salad were as expected. Will be back, but not having the steak again. FYI they have valet parking $15 or you can self park in the garage.

Pleasantly surprised to see that 1776 has an unadvertised Happy Hour menu for drinks and food. Enjoy! M-F 3-6 PM
