Experience 1906
Tucked just below our breathtaking Main Conservatory, 1906 invites you to indulge in a fine dining experience where culinary artistry meets horticultural excellence. With sweeping views of Longwood’s iconic Main Fountain Garden, a sophisticated full-service bar and lounge with a dedicated menu, and an intimate private dining room, 1906 is the embodiment of refined hospitality and garden-inspired cuisine.
Led by Executive Chef George Murkowicz, our culinary team crafts an upscale American menu that celebrates seasonality, sustainability, and local sourcing—highlighting produce grown mere steps away in our Ornamental Kitchen Garden. This unique partnership between gardener and chef ensures each dish is a true expression of the land, from the first sprout to the final plating. An extensive wine list, recognized by Wine Spectator with its 2025 Best Of Award of Excellence, and seasonal cocktail offerings, including house-made tonics and garden-inspired infusions, complement the flavors of each course with precision and grace.
Every detail of 1906 reflects our mission of excellence—from the award-winning design by WEISS/MANFREDI to our ongoing commitment to the community, with surplus produce donated to local food banks.
Join us for lunch, dinner, or a drink at the bar and discover a dining experience that reflects the horticultural grandeur of Longwood itself.

The Bar & Lounge at 1906
Distinct from the main dining room yet equally grounded in elegance, the bar and lounge at 1906 offers a more relaxed, intimate setting where garden-inspired creativity flourishes in unexpected ways.
Here, the menu is thoughtfully curated to feature playful interpretations of seasonal ingredients—dishes that are bold, expressive, and entirely unique to this space.
Enjoy an extensive selection of fine wines, craft cocktails, house-made tonics, and garden-forward non-alcoholic beverages—all beautifully paired with the mood of the moment.
Walk-ins are welcome. Reservations are not accepted. Please check in with our hosts for same-day seating.
Please note: For groups larger than 9 guests, please reach out to us directly by calling 610.388.5290 or emailing us at 1906@longwoodgardens.org to review available options. We look forward to speaking with you.
