Really can't say enough good things about 1776...inventive menu, fabulous food, great service. Will definitely come back again.

Food is good, drinks are fantastic! Great little place for ladies night out!

This is the best restaurant and wine bar around. The food is excellent, from tasty risotto balls, filet trio and delicious desserts. We’re not really wine drinkers, but even decided to join the wine club. Our server provided some samples which we loved, perfect sweet wines for our pallet. Service needed no improvement. Server knew the menu well and made recommendations. This was already our second visit, and I will be making another reservation in a few weeks. We are so happy to have the chance to get out of ‘house’ clothes to enjoy a relaxing meal in a more upscale atmosphere. Date night is great after being married 36 years without having to go to the city. Highly recommend.

This was my first visit to The ANNEX and will not be my last. I cannot say enough good things about the experience. My company located in Elgin on Randall Road was entertaining for the first time a prospective business colleague and we desired to impress him. Therefore, it was a bit of a risk having not eaten at The ANNEX previously. One of the more unique aspects is that there was a place for a request when making a reservation and I respectfully requested an ideal table arrangement to allow good conversation between all in a party of 8. Chloe and her colleagues arranged the tables in a square shape with 2 on each side and it worked out splendidly. Listening is a huge part of a successful business so kudos to The ANNEX for listening and catering to our request. The service (also Chloe) was superb, very attentive, very genuine. The food was fantastic. I personally had the 'special' short rib, which is going to be a regular on the menu moving forward. Fantastic! I am breaking one of my personal rules by sending this review. When I find a place (any type of place) that I love I do not want to ruin it by having EVERYONE know. I know it sounds selfish, but I will tell my closest friends and ask them to keep it to themselves. In this case, I simply owe it to Chloe etal to make their excellence known just like all of the reviews that led me to try it out on an important night for our company. Thanks again and we look forward to our next visit. I strongly recommend The ANNEX for your next fine restaurant experience. Everyone was friendly and down to earth while providing a 'best in class' meal and service.

Fun night out for a little kid birthday dinner! Our server Austin was attentive, food was delicious as always, and the staff was all cheerful and accommodating!
