A hidden gem;
We love dinning at 1776. The food is delicious, the presentation is beautiful, the atmosphere is great with piano music in the background. The service is top notch. Terese is very knowledgeable and helpful with recommendations on the food selection. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and will definitely be back again soon.
Sincerely,
Thuy Dong

I had the 44 days dry age New York steak , they called it Kansas for some reason , its good, tender and juicy, perfectly cooked just the way i wanted, but a lil lack of seasoning, can’t go easy with salt on a good steak, just my opinion. The lobsters and crab soup was creamy, savory, love it. The cheese cake dessert was ok, very crowded even on weekdays. You have to make a reservation if you have 2 or more people, or you can sit at the bar if you don’t mind. Service was good, can’t complain.

We just had dinner there. I had the tomahawk steak and my girlfriend had the filet. Everything was cooked perfectly. The steak was fresh, seasoned perfectly and simply. Cooked to perfection. The appetizers were amazing and the drinks a little strong but wonderful and well priced.

We have been coming here again and again with family and friends, and they never fail to deliver.
Their steaks are among the best in terms of quality and taste, without the traditional top-end steakhouse prices.
Is the Deco outdated? Yes!
Who cares when the services, food, and drinks are hands down the best, with prices that were set ten years ago!
Just tell the owner that!
If ever near the beaches, you owe it to yourself to try it.
You will do the same after trying this place, and will want to come back time and time again.

Our favorite steakhouse in Delaware! We visited on a Friday night. Reservations recommended. Plenty of free parking, restaurant is in a tired looking shopping plaza, near a popular movie theater. Noise level about a 4 out of 5. Friendly staff! Manager very hands on. Bar in the restaurant but not much seating. Piano player present. Great food and priced right! I will be back!

Great experience here over the weekend. I ordered the tomahawk steak, it was cooked perfectly and tasted incredible. I loved that they bring the cuts out to your table beforehand and explain each one. Our waiter was knowledgeable and friendly, the food was great overall, and while the service was a little slow, it was clearly just because they were really busy. We’ll definitely be back!

We went here for my girlfriend’s birthday and everything was outstanding. All the staff were friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and so were the cocktails. I’ve been coming here for years and will continue to come back. I enjoy that the dress code is business casual and has a more laidback atmosphere for a steakhouse. 10/10 recommend.

My Husband Made Reservations For My Birthday Dinner This Year. I Was Not Planning On Going Anywhere But Thankfully My Husband pushed Me To Go The Anniversary Of My Daughters Death Is Coming Up So I Get A Lil Stuck. They Would Never Know This But The Service At The Restaurant Was Beyond Exceptional. The Owner Himself Was The Personification Of Care For His Patrons. The Service Was Smooth , Fast, And Effortless With Full Seating, But The Kindness Of The Owner Was The Only Thing To Outshine The Service ‼️ I Left With A Smile Thankful I Came. God Knew Exactly What I Needed. The Oysters Rockefeller Was The Absolute Standout Best I Ever Had The Fresh Spinach Was A Different Yet Refreshing Touch. I Also Had Lobster And Crab Au Gratin (Yummy) A Deviation From The Rack Of Lamb I Would Get Here Normally. My Husband Had Cesar Salad And The Prime Rib Which Was So Hugeee But Looked To Cut Like Butter. The Fresh Rolls Which The Maybe? Homemade Butter Receives Honorable Mentions As Accompaniment To The Meal. They As Added Bonus Had A Live Piano Player To Accompany A Classical Style Dinner Service. 20/10 Recommend☝

The service was great. The waiter was extremely knowledgeable. The escargot was delicious, as were the scallop chips. However the rock fish was kind of dry. The dry aged NY strip was tasty, but really thick which made it a bit tough to chew.

Just ate here and this is a great local steak house. Lots of seating but on the weekends you must make a reservation to dine here. They have a nice selection of steaks and they’ll bring them raw to your table to help you choose which one you may want. Of course they also have fish and a kids menu as well. Excellent deserts, good mixed drinks and even Trappist beers to choose from. If you want a good steak after the beach then I recommend this restaurant.
