My fiancé and I made reservations for dinner to start our night out for the Christmas lights and to celebrate her college graduation. Only had to wait about 10 minutes for our table to be ready. They offered coat check which was nice. I do have to say our server Brianna B was amazing! We made sure to let the supervisor know just how great she was. For the holidays they had their special menu, which we both went with the 4 course option. I did the scallops, short rib cantelloni, the venison loin, and the coconut pearl. They were all amazing! Great mix of flavors and timing of the courses were perfect. 4 course option is $115.

I've been to the new venue several times since they opened earlier this year -- the atmosphere and capacity both feel like they were upgraded. Service is professional, and the staff were very welcoming. Every dining experience has been pleasant! I love the seasonally changing menu. There's always something new to try. The staple item I'd recommend would be the pull-apart brioche! Together with the butter, it's out of this world. Warm, puffy, and fragrant... it's perfect! I usually don't eat bread, but I break that rule every time for this brioche. Can't wait to go back again!

I am a Longwood member and have enjoyed the gardens several times. I've never been to 1906 so I was excited to go for my birthday. The restaurant itself is really clean and green. It's beautifully decorated. The staff was well educated on the menu and provided great information about the restaurant and menu. The drinks were great and the food was okay. From fine dining perspective everything was nicely plated and presented but several things truly lacked flavor. My favorite would have to be the Wellington. This menu is seasonal so I'm sure I'll come back again but I wasn't overly impressed! They also didn't do anything special for my birthday which was kind of a let down.

Scallops, beet salad, brioche

This place is great for its purpose, with the incredible view and for being in Longwood Garden. However, the food itself was very average for the price. We went in a large group and got multiple items to share, from starters like the beet salad, brioche, scallops, mushroom soup, shitaake salad, and the mains including two pastas (pumpkin and crab), the roasted chicken, and branzino. The chicken was probably a let down for being their signature dish, but the appetizers were solid though the portions were small. You'd be going for the ambience rather than for the quality of food but overall still an enjoyable meal.

One of the best garden-to-table dining experiences -- and something that's rare to find in NYC 1906 at Longwood Garden is one of the hardest reservations to get near Philly, featuring seasonal menus that change based on what's fresh and locally available. Ingredients come from regional farms -- and even from the gardens themselves. It feels elevated enough for a date night, yet still totally kid-friendly, making it perfect for a Philly family getaway from NYC. Planning tip: All dining reservations require a valid timed Longwood Gardens admission ticket or membership, so be sure to book both in advance.

Risotto Trio

I had a phenomenal dining experience at 1906. You should absolutely treat yourself to a meal here if you are spending the day in Longwood Gardens. The dishes are inspired and made by ingredients from the garden. It's delightful, fresh and elevated. We started with the pull-apart brioche with honey butter. This was the most beautiful butter I have ever eaten. Decorated with edible flowers and drizzles of local honey, I could not get enough on each piece of fluffy brioche. We also enjoyed the heirloom tomatoes and chilled summer corn soup. These were both refreshing from the summer heat. We opted for two herbal elixirs to drink. These are a great option if you want something fun and bubbly without alcohol in the middle of the day. For our main dish, we tried the summer risotto trio - a kale, carrot and vegetable risotto sprinkled with cracked pepper and edible flowers. This dish was as beautiful as it was delicious. This is a great addition to the seasonal summer menu. We enjoyed a side of brussel sprouts and grilled watermelon alongside our main. The brussel sprouts were shredded with a hint of lemon that complimented the risotto. The watermelon was paired with a whipped feta and seasoned with dill and tajin. It was a sweet and spicy combination that lightened the meal. You cannot skip dessert here. Their signature caramelia cake is absolutely adorable! The entire mushroom, chocolate rocks and coconut leaves are edible. This is the show stopper of an already incredible dining experience. And if you are looking for something extra sweet, order a scoop of sorbet or gelato to go along with it. I highly recommend dining during one of the daily fountain shows. The music is piped into the restaurant, so you can enjoy the magnificent show while enjoying your meal from inside. Thank you to our server who made sure we had a fantastic view of the show, and gave great menu recommendations.

1906 is Longwood Gardens fine dining option when visiting located at the base of the conservatory. Service is generally pleasant and certain food dishes present very well. The mushroom shaped dessert looks better than it tastes. The dining room moved and greatly expanded with upscale finishes. For this you pay and pay a lot - or just go to the beer garden.

Made reservations 2 weeks before Mother's Day because I heard that it gets pretty busy. Beautiful ambiance. Expected nothing less. Service was exceptional. They all have a keen eye & fast reflexes to make sure our dining experience was spectacular. No complaints whatsoever. Food was pretty decent. I did receive a phone call a week prior to confirm my reservation. I thought that was a nice touch. The receptionist wanted to make sure that I know they were going to be having a prix fixed menu for Mother's Day weekend. I did wish they have a separate menu for people who didn't want what was on their prix fixed menu though. I've heard wonderful things so I did set the bar a little high. Anyway, I am looking forward to going back again when it's not on a busy holiday weekend.

For our trip to longwood garden, we made the reservation for 1906, just in time for their summer menu. Not sure when, but they moved to under the conservatory, so it does have more spaces and have a better view now. The atmosphere is pretty relaxing. Foodwise, it's all pretty distinctive with natural themes; but nothing really stands out; everything is between OK to good. Still, not expecting too much inside the garden park. Service, on the other hand, really shines. The servers are very attentive and professional.

Had an exceptional experience at 1906 Fine Dining for my friend's intimate wedding dinner. The space is beautiful, decorated with many plants and flowers. The private room that we had full view of their mushrooms, which was whimsical. Each dish served was perfectly paired together, and they serve an American menu rooted in seasonality, sustainability, and locality, with many of the ingredients grown in their Ornamental Kitchen Garden. Finally, I cannot stop raving about the service. Our servers were extremely attentive, made sure our drinks never ran out, described each dish in detail, and were extremely mindful of the dietary restrictions of the group. Absolutely a great experience to walk through Longwood Gardens before and after dinner.

Roasted Green Circle Chicken

My family and I just ate here on New Years Eve. It was wonderful! We did have an interesting visit from the start due to someone who needs secret service when they are out and about, wink wink. It made for a weird vibe because that's all people could talk about. But, that is no fault to 1906. The entire ambiance of 1906 is breath taking. I loved the furniture, colors, decor, and the large windows let in so much light and offer great views. The sunset was beautiful. The bathroom hall is nice as well. Single stalls. The food was fantastic. There was five of us and we had many items off the menu. The attention to detail and the delivery of the food was an art at times. We have no complaints about anything. The one item on the menu our entire table enjoyed the Roasted Green Circle Chicken. It was brined in honey and lavender. The flavor was delightful! It is pricy but, understandably. I'd pay $80 for that chicken again ha! I highly recommend adding 1906 to your, "places to try."

This is such an incredible dining experience! From the cocktails to lunch to dessert it was all delicious! We even got to watch the fountain show from the window while we ate it was the best of everything! The roasted chicken was amazing, they are very good about helping you navigate food allergies (my family has a lot!) our server was so friendly and attentive and very fast! The entire restaurant is full of gorgeous live floral arrangements! I can't say enough good things about this place I cannot wait to come back!

Stopped here on a random Wednesday overcast February since I was in the area. Took a little while…read morefor anyone to notice me. What struck me immediately was the music playing in the bar. Zappa, C.W.Stoneking, you don't hear this music anywhere around here. Started with an old fashioned which feature a "well bourbon" for happy hour. Don't recommend. Ordered two of the small plates and the highlight was the Thai shrimp. They were huge (12s?) and just fried crispy enough. The chicken wings got the job done. Came with 9, but my GLP drugs only tolerated 6. Overall I would try again, but with Bulleit Rye and just the shrimp. Or the fish and chips.

We were in town for my cousin's wedding and staying nearby. We were looking for a place to eat…read morethat had a variety of items, even for vegetarians and we came across Letty's. We were in a hurry because we had to get ready for an event, but as soon as we walked in we were seated right away. The first thing I saw when I looked at the menu, was a Carajillo (Which I was pleasantly surprised that they had it on the menu. It's one of my favorite drinks, especially when I need a caffeine boost and at that time I definitely did!!) I wasn't planning on drinking alcohol, but it was so perfect that I ended up having 2 of them!! Lol For food, I ordered the smash burger and got fries instead of the salad. It was pretty yummy! My cousin's wife ordered the Baba Ganoush and it was delicious!! I was pretty impressed because we had no expectations!
