Restaurants near Chapin Memorial Church

It was an exceptional experience, it’s very hard to get everything right, food, service, decor, etc. The menu was as exciting to read as to taste, the flavors profiles of each dish was wonderfully crafted, there is no other way to describe it. The timing of each dish, the portions, the textures, everything on point. We had Mike guiding us and facilitating our spectacular gastronomical journey. Last night was such a treat, hats off to Chef Jonas and the team. Keep up the outstanding work that you doing!

Great service, from the greeting upon arrival, to the server, to the support staff. A varied menu, with starters, entrees, and desserts for most any taste. A great atmosphere, with a beautiful view of Otsego Lake

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.

Nate was a great server! We enjoyed everything! We had the lobster bisque, clam chowder, focaccia, and a shrimp cocktail for a nice early light dinner.

The wait staff all were exceptional in their politeness and attention to detail. Good food. Good service. A great way to start the day.
