The food at 1609 was excellent. The crab cakes were some of the best I've ever had. Our waitress, Rachel, was excellent, as well.

A large group of friends went earlier this month We spent over $450 dollars we had to split up the check ourselves and get cash from the ATM machine by the time a couple of guys paid the ATM fee the meal was even more expensive! Good food and service but with the check policy we 'll probably spend our $450 dollars somewhere else

We wanted to try the full service restaurant at Rosie's Gaming Emporium in New Kent County and we were pleasantly surprised. Our server Erik made excellent recommendations and made our visit special. He was knowledgeable about the food and made sure that our food sensitivities were addressed. We loved the salmon and the chicken entrees. The buttermilk pie was amazing as well. We will be returning again!

I have dined here twice... and both times I was very impressed! Had a couple of their specialty cocktails One called the Steeplechase was excellent. Happy hour pricing is incredible. Very clean and inviting. Overall the Staff was pleasant, not over the top but not rude either. The food was great! Have had the charcuterie plate twice, the wedge salad, crispy spare ribs, chilled king crab (this is the only thing I would not get again but that's personal preference only I like them hot with butter! , crab cakes, and the raw oysters. All of the food was fresh and delicious! You can tell that care was put into preparing the food and menu. I will definitely return! Ver carta

Patricia and I just had dinner at 1609 Restaurant at Colonial Downs. It is a gem of a restaurant that New Kent County has needed for a very long time. I had the fried oysters as an appetizer followed by crab cakes with green beans and creamed roasted corn. The oysters were crispy on the outside and tender and juicy inside with just a hint of heat. The crab cakes were lump crab meat with almost no fillers; just enough to hold them together. Patricia had the apple cider brined chicken and she said it was the best chicken she has ever eaten. I had a taste and it was tender, flavorful and juicy. We shared the buttermilk pie with blueberry compote; excellent choice. Service was excellent; friendl...

What was advertised as a Thanksgiving Feast was far less than that. The paltry portion of turkey featured white meat that tasted a processed and dollop of near-minced dark meat. Gravy tasted like it was from a jar. If there had been some white bread under it, it would have been an adequate open-faced turkey sandwich at a diner. Sides were better--the cheddar grits were delicious as were the homemade mashed potatoes. But overall for $19.99 what we ended up was not a bountiful Thanksgiving feast like what was pictured in the ads, but a diner-quality turkey dinner at a price point well above what a diner should charge. $5 dollar soft drinks just added insult to injury. Service was energetic if...

We greatly enjoyed 1609 at Colonial Downs for atmosphere and food during the horse races in late July and again in late August 2021. We reserved the same table for both of our excursions. Hannah was extremely polite, personable and attentive both times. The colossal meatball which she recommended was delicious: a good combination of meats and perfect sauce.. With that and the bbq chicken sliders (also yummy), we were too full for dessert. The sliders had a wonderful sauce, caramelized onions and tangy slaw. It was simply perfect to have the reserved table. There is a fee for the table which we reserved online in advance. We didn't mind the fee as it gave us excellent access to the shaded bal... Ver carta
