    Historic setting w/ unique seating inside Omni Bedford Springs. Fantastic service on NYE w/ few culinary standouts, 1 being rustic, seeded, bread w/ nutty-fruity interior & salt-sprinkled whipped butter. SO GOOD, next time I'm asking for loaf to-go. Three-Cheese Onion Soup, well executed w/ depth in broth (seldom happens anymore) & melty cheesy blend that provided nutty-salty finish. Unfortunately, raving ends there. Excited over unique menu items like Veal Porterhouse, but it was stringy, tough, mostly inedible, even on filet side. I've not eaten many, nor have I personally prepared this cut, so can't speak to the failure, but there was one, because while lower in fat, veal still inherently associated w/ tenderness & ease. Accompanying lobster tail water logged & rubbery. Instead of bright white flesh it was same color & texture as veal. High prices. Not high quality or execution.

    I've driven past the Bedford Omni before but have never been inside. It is absolutely lovely! From the main door, it's a bit of a walk to the restaurant. Upon entering, we were directed which way to go. Since we were a few minutes late we didn't take the time to look around on the way there. We were immediately seated and welcomed. Our waiter, Jacob was awesome. He was friendly and professional. He shared some history and made appropriate suggestions. We both ordered a drink and a wedge salad. He suggested we share. We should have listened. ;) it was huge but delicious. For mains, my husband got the 12 Oz prime filet. It was cooked perfectly. He also got a potato. They were huge. Again.. we should have shared. I got the lobster Mac and cheese (it's a side) and a potato. The Mac and cheese would have been plenty. I brought about half home. It had lots of large pieces of lobster and cheesy goodness! For dessert, we asked Jacob which to go with. He described both the 17 Layer chocolate cake and bananas foster so well that it left us still undecided. We ended up choosing bananas foster. So good! On the way out, we explored a bit. We definitely need to go back and check out the property again. Staff was all very kind and helpful and the building is very well kept.

    A fabulous steakhouse!! Hidden in Bedford, Pa. Up there in quality with some of the finest in America. I can't say enough at what a great find this was.

    Very unique steakhouse. The set up and decor to this restaurant is unlike any other steakhouse I have been to. It is located behind the Tavern inside of the Omni Bedford springs. This restaurant reminds me of an old speak easy. It has a rustic feel and dark lighting, large tables, and old style decor. Tip- you can make reservation on open table in advance. I warm you, this steakhouse is pricy. Don't go here thinking you're eating at a Texas Roadhouse. This is a real steakhouse. All of the steaks are priced separately from hour side dishes. I ordered the 8oz filet and although it was prepared exactly as I ordered, it was not the best steak I've ever had in my life. I did really enjoy the peppercorn sauce. My husband for their homemade steak sauce for his & it was delicious! If I ever return, j be ordering that. I was slightly disappointed in the portion size of the sides and salads. The $22 lobster Mac & cheese was all of about 8 tablespoons for, not enough for 3 people to share and certainly not worth the price. Our waitress told us the salads were large and could easily be shared by two people, but that wasn't true. We got the arugula salad, which she split for us so that was nice, but it was only a few bites each and in my opinion, no worth $13. We did not order dessert but got cappuccino and espresso. Our waitress did not offer us sugar or cream/milk for the espresso, which was somewhat disappointing. My cappuccino, however, was perfect and came with a crystal sugar stick to sweeten and stir. Although the 1796 room was not my favorite restaurant or steakhouse, I would probably return if I am back at Bedford springs & willing to empty out my wallet on dinner. Next time though, I think I'll order something other than steak.

    We decided (at the last-minute) to have dinner at the 1796 Room to celebrate my birthday. The staff was very accommodating with our late reservation. The restaurant is located at the historic and charming Bedford Springs Resort--beautifully decorated for the holidays. The 1796 Room is located adjacent to the Frontier Tavern--which looked like a fun place! It's slated for renovations soon, but was charmingly appointed with tables and banquettes. Service was attentive without being overbearing. The courses were well-timed and didn't leave us feeling rushed. We started with a Caesar salad and chophouse salad. The white anchovies were a great addition to the Caesar. The rosemary ciabatta with salted butter was a nice accompaniment. Now--for the main attraction--the steaks! I had the 8 oz. filet Mignon. The steaks are 21-day wet aged beef. Normally, I'm a medium-rare kind of gal, but when eating at a new restaurant for the first time, I tend to be a bit conservative. My medium steak was cooked perfectly and I wouldn't hesitate to order medium-rare next time. My husband enjoyed his NY strip--both steaks were well-seasoned. We both had the house-made steak sauce--good, but I prefer my steak plain. As much as I love steak, the accompanying artichoke stole the show for me--delicious! Our sides of sautéed mushrooms and salt-crusted baked potato were good as well. (I love sides for sharing!) I was too full for dessert, but managed to steal a few bites of my husband's gluten-free chocolate cake. Who knew gluten-free could be so good? The 1796 Room has definitely been added to our rotation of favorite steakhouses. You won't be disappointed.

    Tuna tartare
    Heather L.

    Standout steakhouse at the Omni Bedford Springs Resort. My husband and I enjoyed a dinner there and were pleased w/our meal. The 1796 room is literally a room near the Frontier Tavern w/low ceilings and lighting that transports you back to the beginning days of the resort (early 1800s). Service was attentive t/o and they did a good job of pacing the meal to ensure we had enough time btw courses. This restaurant is pricey, as is the rest of the resort, especially as everything here was a la carte. We may have over ordered as everything looked so good. The cocktail, wine, beer list is the same t/o the resort but it's a huge list so we were happy to choose some cocktails. We started with the tuna tartare ($16) which was incredibly fresh w/good flavor combinations (spicy wasabi, avocado, and miso). We then had the crab salad ($12) which the restaurant split for us. Again, it was fresh and flavorful and gave a healthy serving of crab. We each got a 8 oz filet for $39. Beautifully cooked piece of steak which was rich and filling. I decided to spring for the truffle butter for $6. It wasn't really worth it as the butter was standard and the steak was delicious on its own. We also split sides of the lobster mac n cheese($22) and whipped potatoes ($8). The lobster mac n cheese was decadent and delicious w/tons of lobster mixed in. Though stuffed, we split the flour-less chocolate cake ($11) - again delicious and amazing. We left the meal completely full and satisfied. Highly recommended when in the area!

    The food here is nothing short of phenomenal! My wife and I come here on special occasions and I still maintain it's the best steak I have ever eaten. The way you order it prepared is the way it comes out. PERFECT! We always get the crab cake appetizer too which is fantastic. They also serve a chibata bread with this salted butter that is literally to die for. A+++

    Chilled Seafood Tower For Two
    Julie D.

    This restaurant is name for year that Dr. John Anderson purchased the property where Bedford Springs Resort now stands. Service here is fairly attentive. On our first visit, we were living large. We decided to share a chilled seafood tower for two. Be sure to see the picture of this appetizer. It was amazing. It included lobster, shrimp, crab legs and tuna ceviche. Next, we shared a baby iceberg salad with tomato, Lancaster bacon, Potter County blue cheese with Cabernet vinaigrette. This salad was perfect, we loved it. Believe it or not, we continued to eat. BJ veal chop with blue cheese infused mash potatoes. I got twin petite filet mignon with rich & mushroom melange. Both meals were perfect. For dessert, we shared a huge cupcake that they personalized for our anniversary. Such a nice touch!

    This was our second time dining at 1796 Room while staying at Bedford Springs. They had changed up the menu since our last trip, and I'm loving the addition of the grilled artichoke heart as a side dish to the entrees. The service was impeccable, just like last time and even with the menu change, the bread served with salted butter had stayed the same, a small detail, but one I really loved when we first dined here. My husband got the new york strip and it was cooked perfectly. I had the mushroom and spinach risotto which was smokey (in a good way) and flavorful. Overall 1796 Room is just another wonderful aspect of Bedford Springs and the only reason I didn't give it a full 5 stars is because, even though I'm not a strict vegetarian, I do dabble and it would have been nice to have one or two more non-meat options for an entree.

    Pan seared scallops
    DJ H.

    Catching up on some R & R and visited this restaurant for dinner and drinks. Lisa my waitress was very warm and pleasant. Hot fresh baked bread and warm butter is always a great way to start a meal! Seared scallops were very tasty, perfectly cooked and lightly seasoned. Not heavy and a perfect start to the meal. Smoked 14oz pork chop was absolutely smoky and delicious. Well seasoned and full of flavor. Paired with a glass merlot, buttery mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus was an excellent choice. Everything was cooked well and tasted great! For dessert, I decided on the vanilla bean creme brûlée with house made whip which was light and simply awesome. Not heavy at all and the hard caramel top was divine. If your in the area or visit this fabulous hotel, make a trip to 1796 room restaurant, you will not regret it.

    This dining room is located right next to the Frontier Tavern. It's a small dining room, so I would recommend making reservations. We ordered the jumbo lump crab cakes to start. It was pretty good but they used both backfin and some jumbo lump crab and some fillers in it so I wouldn't really call it jumbo lump crab cake - but it was a good portion. We ordered the filet and the NY Strip. The filet was cooked the way we ordered it - medium rare, but the NY strip was cooked a little too long as it came out medium instead of medium rare. Make sure you order the steak sauce - it was great. Get the signature steak sauce.

    Croquettes with a quail egg

    We stayed at the Omni during the Christmas holiday week. We had dinner at the 1796 room. We have been to the Bedford location several times but we had never experienced the tasting menu.....it was fabulous. Nothing can compare to the overall dining experience that we had. The croquettes to start were amazing and the 2nd course of the beef and lentil soup was mouth watering. The next course was the beef medallions which were extremely tender and it was cooked perfectly. To end it all was a gluten free chocolate cake...YUM. My husband also had the NY strip Oscar style. The crab was fresh and tender and the preparation of the steak was done perfectly. The service as always was wonderful!

    The octopus appetizer. Awesome! It was so delicious

Fantastic selection of bourbon for all brown liquor enthusiasts. Really, just about something for everyone, and more. Then, there's the aspect That You Don't See as much anymore. The cigar bar offering. A great selection of stogies to light ones fire for a relaxing drink and a slow smoke. But where to smoke this fine crafted cigar? Out on the smoking patio, but of course. Located just outside the bar, this intimate rooftop smoking section invites you just to sit and chill and relax with a few friends. Individual tables are integrated with cushioned seating areas that surround small fire pit tables. Offering a quiet warm place to relax and enjoy a very effortless night with Friends.

He was very attentive, friendly and welcoming. He was always checking up on us and making sure that we were always good. Service was fabulous. There's a timeline of the history of this historic building on the back of the menu. We ordered two drinks. One was an apple cider margarita and the other was a strawberry gin fizz concoction that was amazing. Both of these drinks were delicious. If we weren't driving and staying in the actual hotel above this tavern, we would have tried several other ones on the menu. Lots of creative choices that looked to be tasty based on the mix of ingredients. For the food - the menu was enticing and extensive. Lots of creative things happening here. The app we decided on was the Parmesan crusted Brussels and boy did they not disappoint. Absolutely delicious. We opted for The French Dip with fries and some magical au jus and a Union Smash burger with fries for our meals. Both are highly recommended!!! The burger was served on this delicious cloud of brioche bun and stacked high with two patties (perfectly cooked), pickles, dijonaose, and cheese. The French Dip had the most magnificent crusty roll and tender meat. Then there are these amazing Parmesan parsley fries that are perfectly cooked and served hot! We could have eaten an entire plate of these. To go boxes were needed. Big portions. We couldn't fit dessert! The bill does come with some tasty Andes mints. Prices here are extremely reasonable! I can't stress enough about how absurd it is that this small town has such a hidden treasure of a place where the food is beyond amazing. This place is a full package. If you live anywhere within an hour or even two, come here!! You won't regret this decision. Scrumptious!!!!

It was a quick trip, so we managed to keep our little ones entertained. Frontier Tavern is a great option if you have kids since it's the more casual restaurant on property and has a variety of seating with a more lively atmosphere. They also offer an extensive kids menu with crayons so they can color and stay entertained. The main issue we had here was that the service wasn't really the best. We ordered our son's meal and repeated it at least 3 times since we've been working on getting our son to talk to servers. However, our son's meal came out first and it was completely wrong. The server was apologetic, but it also made it hard when the rest of the meals came and he had to watch us eat ours. The main entrees for me and my partner also came out cold. My partner got the shaved steak and cheese sandwich, which was soggy and just okay. My meal was also okay, the pulled pork sandwich but felt like it was drowning in sauce and was also served cold. Our daughter ordered the French Onion soup and she also didn't love it since it didn't taste as good as others. I'm not sure what that means! She is only 5 but clearly has elevated tastes! Finally, we asked for some other sides and our server pretty much forgot all that we asked. He was friendly but just not the most attentive. In the end, it was an okay experience and we'd probably go again. But it's a high price point for this area and had much better service at the other restaurants on property.

In my view, good service deserves to be recognized regardless of kitchen performance, and Lydia absolutely earned that. This was our second visit. My wife and I enjoy oysters and were excited to find a nearby spot offering fresh half shells--especially with their $1 oyster special on Tuesday nights. On our first visit, we tried the "double D" oysters, which were large, plump, and fresh--exactly what we were hoping for. They were the highlight of the meal. Unfortunately, the lobster rolls didn't live up to the same standard. At that price point, they should be more substantial, and the bread should be appropriate for the dish. Instead, the roll was dry and the lobster portion was underwhelming. I'd recommend skipping it. That said, Lydia's service that night was excellent. Last night, however, was a different experience. Upon arrival, we were greeted by someone who appeared to be the floor manager, who made seating two people without a reservation feel like an inconvenience--despite several open tables and a largely empty outdoor area. Not a great first impression. Once seated, we struck up a conversation with a nearby table and ordered an appetizer, a dozen mixed oysters, and entrees. I went with the flank steak sandwich featured on the menu, while my wife ordered the paella. The iced tea was good, and my wife's cocktail was well-made and generously poured--no complaints there. The salmon bite appetizer, while tasty, felt overpriced for what it was: essentially broiled salmon on lettuce with a maple glaze. When my sandwich arrived, it came with exactly three overcooked, limp asparagus spears--I should've gone for the tots. The sandwich itself was even more underwhelming: a small bun with maybe three ounces of meat, a few mushy onions, and some cheese. My first bite was mostly gristle and fat. I understand flank steak isn't a lean cut, but when served as a sandwich, it should be properly trimmed and sliced. There's no excuse for a $20 sandwich to be that poorly prepared. The overwhelming taste of black pepper didn't help either. I ended up sending it back after one bite. Lydia handled it as professionally as possible, but I declined a replacement. As for the paella, it raised a different issue--how do you end up with overcooked shrimp and undercooked scallops in the same hot dish? It doesn't make much sense. While the flavor was decent overall, the execution didn't justify the price. To summarize: Lydia is excellent--if you go, take care of her. The oysters remain a strong point: fresh, plump, and enjoyable, though they could be more generous with the horseradish and cocktail sauce. The biggest disappointment was the lack of accountability from management. There was no visit from the floor manager (Mr. Inconvenienced from earlier) or anyone from the kitchen to address the issues, leaving Lydia to handle everything herself. The wait staff deserves better. If you're going for oysters, it's worth a visit. If you're planning a full dinner, be prepared for high prices, small portions, and inconsistent execution. The service staff and menu have potential--but the kitchen needs to step up. One final note: if you're charging $36 for a pour of WhistlePig whiskey, it should be served properly--with a clean glass and appropriate ice. Serving it with debris floating in the glass is unacceptable. You lost that customer too. Lydia is the ONLY reason why this is rated above one star. Kitchen needs to step up. Big. You're going to start losing servers.

    Tried Laurel &Grouse recently and it completely blew me away.

Everything tastes homey but polished, like what you'd cook for a special dinner. The vibes are chill but smart -- great spot dropped right into downtown. I've already been back twice!

The servers and front of house workers are pleasant and eager to help. The restaurant is rather small with very little seating and a small bar. I had a group of 7 for our Supper Club and they took us shortly after opening so that they could better serve us. Our waitress was super helpful with suggestions and answered any questions that we had about the menu. She was helpful and accommodating, not to mention patient with all of our questions! We indulged in multiple appetizers, different entrées, and even dessert. Here's my review of each part of the meal: Smoked Chicken Pierogies: These pierogies were different and delicious. They were super flavorful, but they were unique and worthy of trying! Foccacia: I cannot say enough good things about their foccacia. It was perfectly soft and plump and included 3 unique dipping sauces that blew me away: red pepperonata, whipped ricotta pepper honey, and pomegranate molasses. I couldn't believe how good all of it tasted! Mustard Glazed Salmon: This dish came with butternut squash hummus & grains. The salmon was cooked perfectly and flavored well with the mustard. I didn't love the grains and the hummus was underwhelming, but it was a unique dish. Blackberry & Pumpkin Crepes: These Crepes were flavorful and delicious. The pumpkin was not overly spiced up so this was a perfect light dessert to end our meal. The blackberry Crepes weren't as flavorful but delicious and nice to try. Other people in my group had the fall lasagna, diver scallops, pub burger, and bolognese, and all dishes got rave reviews! I also had a Pumpkin Espresso Martini. The flavor was great. I was disappointed in the overly salted rim and the lack of espresso beans on top, but I'd drink it again because it was delicious overall. This place was a welcomed surprise and the flavor combinations were unique and different. This place is definitely something to talk about!
