"We have eaten at other Otesaga venues but this was our first time at 1909. What a wonderful experience, from beginning to end. The ambiance of the dining room was just right classy but not ostentatious. It had a warmth to it, enhanced by the stone fireplace dividing the two dining room spaces. The wait staff were friendly, informative, and very professional, able to answer any question we had. The drinks were well done and the perfect amount. But the star of our meal was, as it should be, the food. We started with a wedge salad that utilized romaine instead of iceburg, which gave it depth and texture, and then it was on to the steaks. My partner had the t bone, cooked perfectly medium rare, and I had the filet mignon, also cooked perfectly for me at medium. Nice char on the outside and melt in your mouth tender on the inside for both steaks. The front of the house manager was happy to discuss the process they used for each type of steak. My partner and I both agreed that these were the best steaks we had ever had, either at home or at any number of steak restaurants. The meal was perfectly timed, no feeling of rush at all. The prices were higher than we normally pay, but not out of line with other fine steakhouses. There were non steak options as well; a diner at the next table had the cod and she said it was amazing. It was a wonderful evening and I would recommend 1909 to anyone looking for a special experience."
