    Our server was pleasant and helpful - he recommended what I chose and it was excellent. It was my wife's birthday and she was offered a desert for the event which she declined as the food was good and more than we could eat. Very pleased with our choice to go there and would recommend to anyone.

    The food was delicious, and our server was friendly. However, we waited 90 minutes from the time we sat down until our food arrived. I also received the wrong wine. We enjoyed the meal, but the long wait and drink mix-up detracted from the experience.

    Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the food and that your server was friendly, but we're truly sorry that the long wait and incorrect wine detracted from your experience. While it was a busy weekend with Dickinson College's Parents' Weekend, we understand that a 90-minute wait is far from ideal, and we apologize for the delay. We also apologize for the mix-up with your wine. We appreciate your patience and your honest feedback, as we're always looking for ways to improve. We hope you'll visit us again and give us another opportunity to provide the enjoyable dining experience you deserve!

    It was our first time here and were very happy with the experience. The food and service were both excellent and reasonably priced. $10 dollars for a real whiskey sour is a steal! A must for whiskey lovers!

    Best espresso martini I have ever had. Food was fantastic! Service was on point. And they even had a magician wandering around doing tricks! Highly recommend trying this place out.

    We enjoyed our time at 1794 The Whiskey Rebellion. On the positive side, our son has numerous allergies and the server was very good about checking with the kitchen about what he could eat. We liked the food and will likely consider returning. With that said, it took at least 15-20 minutes for the appetizer (pretzel) to come out and within minutes, while we were eating the appetizer, our entree was served. Our son ordered his filet medium and it came out very rare and had to be sent back. The server took the filet but left the smashed potato and squash (presumably so he could eat it while waiting for his filet), however, I would expect a new plate with warm potato and squash to accompany the reheated filet. Our water glasses were never refilled. Thank you.

    we ate on the patio and it was nice except for the huge trucks coming through, not Whiskey Rebellion's fault. ☹️
