Reviews for 1776 Restaurant in Crystal Lake, IL
I really enjoyed our dinner here! Our waitress Kelly was amazing. We started with charcuterie which came with an amazing... cheddar. For the main I chose the elk rack- I'd never had elk before and it was phenomenal, and cooked perfectlytemperature-wise. Also tried the apple fritters for dessert. We will be back! Read more
Highly recommended. My spouse and I came here last summer and was wowed by the best salad we've ever had. It was made up of... simple lettuce leaves and yet it tasted so good. The secret is in how they source all of their ingredients - high quality andfresh from local producers. We went back for a family get-together and everyone was pleased. Read more

We enjoyed the food so much! Elk rack was fantastic (pictured) and the island breeze cocktail was amazing. We had the duck, the... hanger steak, and seared salmon at our table too! All we’re good but the salmon - underwhelming. Friendly service and staff!It was very cold in their small dining room and our table was next to the curtain by the kitchen. Lots of traffic. I definitelywould prefer some other tables, but not much choice. Luckily the food and drinks would bring anyone back for another shot! Read more
Amazing birthday dinner! The food was excellent , so much flavor and paired well with our cocktails and wine. Our server Kelly... was kind, and informative and made us feel welcomed as if we were regulars visiting, we definitely will be now. I can't wait tovisit again! The owner also stopped by our table to check in often which made the dinner extra special. Safe for celiac disease,and truly that in itself was a peace of mind to enjoy a beautiful dinner without the worry of cross contamination. Thank you! Read more
This was our first visit to 1776 and we loved it. Despite it being a cool autumn evening, the outdoor seating was pleasing and... comfortable. My wife and I both appreciated that the music was not loud--we could easily have a conversation without trying tospeak over the music. We ordered off the weekly specials, including a calamari starter, a house salad (try the charred scalliondressing!) and pork chop and trout entrees. I wouldn't call the portion sizes generous, but I'm not exaggerating when I say thatevery bite was so good we wanted to savor them. Their coffee is excellent and Heather's service was warm and attentive. Wewill be back! Read more
