Super cool antique hotel converted to a place to eat and a bar. You can definitely tell this building is antique with the awesome tile second floors view. The lemon pepper chicken wings are the best

Came in for breakfast, got the chicken and waffles, waffles were very hard and dry, i think their syrup is homemade, to me it was super sweet, was kinda disappointing since we’ve came here once before, and it was great

Nice restaurant. Great food. Sort of a plain room with a lot of Seguin history behind the venue. Had a young server who needs a little more experience.

EDITED TO REPLY: I appreciate your taking the time to respond, but I must respectfully disagree with your characterization of events.

At no point did my husband take an inappropriate photo of a staff member. He took a photo of me, at my request, during our visit. A waitress happened to walk into the frame. When told to delete it, he immediately complied and showed the waitress his phone as proof. Another bartender lied and said he'd done the same thing the week before, which is patently false (and our fellow patrons can corroborate). For staff to misinterpret this and accuse him of inappropriate behavior is deeply troubling.

Your reply suggests that the cameras were reviewed, yet you still stand by an inaccurate accusation. If video exists, it should confirm that the photo was of me and not of staff. In addition, your video will also show the bartender and general manager yelling in my face (for some odd reason-- what did I do wrong? Ask to have my picture taken?) about fifteen minutes later. To dismiss our experience while making serious claims about my husband’s behavior is not only inaccurate but unfair.

We agree with you that a safe and respectful environment for staff and guests is essential. However, respectful treatment should extend to all patrons as well. Being falsely accused, asked to leave, and then banned without cause was an embarrassing and hurtful experience for us.

Our hope in sharing this was not to argue, but to highlight how important it is for concerns to be addressed with fairness, accuracy, and respect on both sides.

ORIGINAL:
My husband and I visited 1916 recently. While trying to enjoy our evening, he took a quick photo of me, his wife of 20 years (that I asked him to take). When a waitress told him to delete the photo, he immediately showed her the phone and deleted the photo, apologizing. A staff member accused him of repeatedly violating a photo policy (which was not true) and asked us to leave. We were then informed by the general manager we are banned from returning. This was embarrassing and upsetting, especially since no policy had been communicated to us. If a no-photo policy exists, it would be helpful for management to make it clear to patrons without resorting to false accusations. We hope sharing our experience helps improve how situations are handled for future guests.

This was our third visit to 1916, and we were already on the fence about coming back. The food is not great, the trivia is amateur, and the waitstaff are rude. If that is how you treat patrons, we will be taking our business elsewhere, and I recommend others do the same.

Other patrons were out of hand, yelling loudly, cussing and throwing beer bottles to the trash to smash them. The bartender tripped to quiet then several times but no one actually did anything about the terrible behavior. 3 couples left at the same time during this train wreck.

Group of 12. They did pretty good with no reservations. We had breakfast. It was pretty good and the building is pretty cool.
