1776 by David Burke - A Culinary Haven in Morristown

The ambiance of this place is super cute, though be prepared for heavy foot traffic! Our server was amazing , so friendly and attentive (wish I remembered his name!). The lobster dumplings were a must-try ,incredible texture and flavor. The yellow tail was also really good, can’t go wrong there. The shrimp and scallops were flavorful too, though the scallops were a little sandy. That said, the corn they came with was outstanding. My boyfriend ordered the pasta, which I personally wouldn’t recommend. While it had great flavor, the meat came in a large fatty chunk instead of being shredded, which made it tough to enjoy. Overall, though, it’s a great spot worth checking out!

We have dined here on a few occasions including a birthday and now Christmas Day diner. It has been an excellent experience each time. Amazing food and friendly staff. Definitely recommend. The clothesline bacon is a must try. Was excellent

I enthusiastically recommend 1776 Morristown in Morristown, NJ. We celebrated my sister’s 75th birthday there and had a wonderful dinner, topped off with a fantastic custom cake from the pastry chef. The service was outstanding—our server, Karam, was well-informed, welcoming, and attentive, helping to make the night special. Each dish we tried, such as the California Roll, Lobster Dumplings, Filet Mignon, Sea Bass, Shrimp and Scallops, and Chicken Parmesan, was excellent. We’re already looking forward to our next visit. Many thanks to the whole team for giving us such a memorable experience!

Food and drinks were delicious, service was very slow! Came here for a friend’s birthday on a Friday night. We waited over an hour for our entrees and they didn’t bring all the appetizers out together. They brought out the clotheslines bacon and then the rest of the apps about 15 minutes later. The drinks were delicious; I highly recommend getting the drink tree. The food was delicious. We were a group of 8 people and everyone got different food from sushi to lamb to steak and everything was delicious and cooked to perfection.

I finally made it into 1776 in Morristown after driving by so many times, and it turned out to be the perfect spot for a friend’s 40th birthday. One thing I always tell clients as a realtor is that a home is about more than four walls—it’s about the lifestyle and experiences nearby. And this brunch was exactly that kind of experience. Our waiter was phenomenal—attentive, accommodating, and full of great suggestions. He even crafted the most beautiful mimosa tree with fun twists just for our group. I ordered the lobster eggs benedict with home fries (highly recommend), and the rest of the table had a mix of brunch dishes—every single plate was a win. The sunny afternoon could’ve been tough, but our waiter made sure we had as much shade as possible and even surprised our birthday girl with champagne. It made the whole celebration feel extra special. Brunch here was memorable, and it’s safe to say I’ll be back soon—this time to try dinner.

We recently hosted a wedding dinner at this restaurant for 20 adults and 3 children, and everything exceeded our expectations. The food was absolutely amazing — every dish was delicious and beautifully presented. The service was outstanding from start to finish. I would especially like to recognize the manager, Sajal. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care made a huge difference. She was incredibly supportive throughout the entire process, always responsive, organized, and calm, which gave me so much peace of mind on such an important day. It was truly a pleasure working with her. Thank you to the entire team for helping make our wedding day so special and unforgettable. We are very grateful and highly recommend this restaurant for any special occasion.

Went here for a company event and so my experience is likely shadowed / clouded by what was decided as a part of the event planning. The herb bread was warm and delicious. The salad with minimal blue cheese dressing was ok, would have appreciated more dressing. Ordered a cauliflower steak and it was half a head of cauliflower with barely any dressing and almost non-edible, there were no sides to it, no vegetables, no vegetarian protein! Will certainly not order that ever again. The staff was gracious and made a vegetarian pasta which was very flavorful! Not sure why that was not provided as an option. The dessert trio was was delicious!

We’re celebrating tonight. This place is perfect for celebration of any kind. The interior is beautiful and welcoming, the food is outstanding. The service is very attentive. It would be my wish to eat here weekly. Unfortunately my budget doesn’t accommodate this desire. If you are looking for a special meal for any reason 1776 will not disappoint.
