    1909 is a lovely restaurant that we go to regularly. But the meal last evening was not very good. The expensive steak we had was not prepared well and was tough. They were kind enough to cook it more but it did not change the quality. Both my husband and I felt the same. We have noted inconsistency in the food in the past as well. The staff are always attentive and so pleasant. Cocktails are excellent but it will be awhile before we return. It’s a pricey but special place but if we are spending that kind of money and entertaining others there, it’s not acceptable to not have the best food.

    This is our "go to" place here in Cooperstown. A very nice setting, friendly, professional staff, and very good food. When I want to take my wife out to dinner ( instead of cooking, which I'm pretty good at), 1909 is where I want us to go.

    The food and service at 1909 was excellent. Out waitstaff was top notch. I highly recommend the Monkey Bread to start off brunch! Will definitely be back to enjoy again!

    The 1909 was a charming and delicious experience. The Bento Box was awesome! Out waitstaff was excellent and the ambience of the room was very warm and relaxing.

    The overall experience was excellent from the food to the service (in my case Karla had an excellent attitude and knowledge of the menu therefore she gave me better recommendations). Probably my only nitpick would be that some (not all) of the food was slightly cold.

    Brunch was wonderful. I’ve never seen French toast served like that. Definitely enough for 2 people.
