1789 Restaurant Bar Restaurant In Wash

I have been wanting to try this restaurant for a while. From what I understood, there was some history behind it. Although, our server didn’t tell us anything about the restaurant and I forgot to ask. We ordered a few rounds of drinks. Their cocktails are amazing! I love the passionfruit one, with tequila.

We have eaten at 1789 numerous times for special events over the last 40 years and have never been disappointed until last week.

My suspicions were confirmed when I discovered the presence of a new chef. My wife had a lovely meal so all was not lost.

1789 was fantastic. Probably one of the best restaurants I've been to. Service was exquisite, the meal was perfectly executed. Highly recommend the scallops or octopus as a starter. Ask to order the risotto as a second course, you won't be disappointed. The rack of lamb was cooked perfectly (as was the NY strip) and was excellent. Wide selection of wines, and great dessert options have us coming back again!
