1794 The Whiskey Rebellion

This may be the best burger I’ve ever had. A lovely establishment, which sticks to its theme. It tells a brief part of history - the Whiskey Rebellion - and has menu items appropriately named. The dishes looked delicious, and tasted even better. My wife had the deviled eggs which were “devilishly” good. We expected 3 halves, not three whole eggs, so that was a great surprise. The Mifflin Bull Burger was fantastic, as previously mentioned, perhaps the best burger I’ve ever had. The onion rings were massive and perfectly cooked. Think of the sound of crunching leaves or fresh snow, you could hear the crackle when biting into it. The burger was perfectly moist and seasoned. The burger came with a house made ketchup on the side, but the burger didn’t need it. The fries were crisp and seasoned with just the right amount of salt. For dessert, a gluten free cheesecake. As one may expect, a vast offering of Whiskeys. Convenient location, this place was incredible!

Great theme resturant. Staff very welcoming. From Owner to Chef. From the start the y accommodated our seating. We had reservations for 2 and gave us a booth. Reservations are a must the bar and restaurant become very crowded; no packed after 5:30pm. Restaurant theme is a take on the Whiskey rebellion. Extensive Whiskey list and whiskey flavors in most of the receipes. All that said ; The Whiskey Rebellion was a trying time in early American History. Washington called out new American Troops in response to first large protest to the American Federal authority. Ok back to the resturant. But i understand the take on it. The Menu has a early American themed. The waitress was knowledgeable. Lara. She explained the owner has a relationship with local farms in produce and meats. Veggies and meat all locally grown. Very excellent choice. Prices, for the crafted food it was pricey. But it was well worth going here. I truly appreciate the skill of this resturant. In selection of ingriedients and cooked to order food. We started in "The call to Arms" (appetizers) "Tavern Prime mushroom". Very nice portabella with shaved prime rib and with caramelized onions and keswik cheese. Came out hot and delicious. Never had it before great starter. The main course "The Charge" . (Steaks). My wife ordered the "Bastille Medallions" Fillet mignon. Wow our waitress recommended rare. Lara said she will only eat steak at the whiskey rebellion for the simple fact they absolutely will make it right the first time. She was correct. My wife and I have had trouble getting steak done to our taste. Let me say they do it right. The fillet was warm and juicey. Melt in your mouth. Not chewy. The side was "Root Hash" nice choice carrots, parsnips, and potato. Very tasty. My selection was the "Molly Pitcher"(prime rib). I know a small portion. But if the Chef can bring out the small portion propperly as well as a large porrion I'm impressed. Mine was cooked to rare also. The prime rib came out warm to touch. Perfect. The choice of meat was the best. Keep working with the local farms. No hormones and pesticides. The prime rib was so soft , so juicey, melt in your mouth. Wow. Every bite was something from Heaven. Bravo . Now for the sides. Tastey russet mashed with a deliciulous sauce. With the perfect change up pitch. New long Broccoli spears. Almost like. Broccoli rabe. Crisp fresh and crunchy. Awsome take. An additional side was the Crab cake. Not only a crab cake, the most juicey, delicate and tastey cake. Its binder was rice flour, so gluten free. All Chesapeake Blue crab. What an excellent dish to savor. Wow. Drinks My wife ordered the Gentleman's Old-fashioned. It was ok. My choice was "1794 2yr old" supposed to be 100 proof. I think the bottle was open a while. I was able to sniff alot out of the Glencairn glass. I was Disappointed. Next I had Jefferson 2yr small batch. 80 proof. This was just like the first. It tasted like 80 proof. Look if your going to boast a whiskey list , it better be good. Some of the whiskey seemed over priced. But First impressions are everything. YES I SAID. GLENCAIRN GLASS. First place ever I have been served in this glass. The owner sits you down and says "This is My Whiskey List". The list is atleast 75 could be more whiskeys, bourbon rue and scotch combined together nicely. The desert. I had an old fashioned "Apple Dumpling". Wow . Nice crispy crust. The apple seemed to be poached. Very nice. With a home made ? French vanilla ice cream. Topped with a whiskey caramel cinnamon sauce. What an end to a truly filling and delicious meal. Hows that for early American. Well worth the price. Take the time to make a reservation; for your birthday, your anniversary, your special gathering. BRAVO FIVE STARS . Thank you
