Restaurants near Judge Gideon Frisbee House

4 adults and 1 teen for lunch. Service was great. Food was excellent - fresh and perfectly prepared. Had salad, soup and sandwiches and everyone was happy. Highly recommend

1909 is a lovely, high-end restaurant, certainly the best in and around Cooperstown, with an expectedly high price. We have dined there many times, and have become accustomed to near-perfection overall; we have never been disappointed. This particular time though, our dining ended with a panna cotta dessert that was an assemblage of bits that did not seem to form a coherent whole, including a bit that seemed like fruit leather that was so tough as to be inedible. The maître-d recognized that -- apparently we were not the first ones to order that dessert that evening, and he offered us the same part of the dessert that was supposed to be "crisper". It really wasn't, and it would have been better to start over for a dessert without that bit, but it was not offered. Still, the appetizer and main course outshone the odd dessert.

Lets start with the good. From the start. 8PM res. they needed a few min to get us a table so we ordered drinks. We both got the Seasonal Mules my daughter got the Esspresso martini. All excellent. The APPs we got the Burratta. Amazing. I got the 8OZ filet. It was small but on point. Cooked and seasoned perfectly. The house steak sauce is outstanding. Seemed like a demi with some balsamic. My wife and the 2 kids got the NY strip 2 of the 3 where good. One was honestly not up to par. It tasted like a piece of meat from shoprite. Very little marbling and it had a large fat cap. None to me where what I would consider high end aged "prime" beef. More like butcher grade choice. I would have complained but my wife and kids ate it and enjoyed it for the most part. But I had a NY Strip from outback last week that was far better. The loaded potato was great. The waiter Tim made the expierience a great one.Had it not been for him I would have demanded a new steak at least for my wife. Since I ate half of it. After the filet. It was a huge let down. Dessert was great. Marscapone Cheesecake was great. Although I dont believe it was made with marscapone except the shot they put on top. Regard less it was great. The chocolate cake my kids said was outstanding.

Beautiful restaurant. Food and service were on point!

Excellent service and food. enjoy the weekly additions to the menu.
