About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Neighborhood gem
Charming

1808 American Bistro serves classic American fare with the occasional Southern, Cajun, and international twists. Steaks grilled to order. Shrimp and Grits with a bit of a bite. A delectable array of house made sauces, vinaigrettes, remoulades, tapenades, aioli, and demi-glaces. Not to mention the pastas, burgers, sandwiches, salads, appetizers, entrees and desserts, all of the mouthwatering variety.

Our full bar offers 24 cold craft beers on draft, and a delightfully tippling assortment of wines and spirits. Stop by for dinner for a beer, or any combination thereof that tickles your fancy.

Reservations recommended for the Dining Room. However, we cannot accommodate reservations for the Patio and Bar.

Always a treat going to 1808 and they didn’t disappoint. The new menu is great but my favorite is still there! Try the pommes dauphine without fail, and the Brussels in champagne vinaigrette are stupendous. Matt the GM greeted us at the table and was very clearly excited about the new offerings, he sold us on several so Tony’s job was easy. 10 out of 10!

Love this place. Atmosphere is so cool. Our server was really nice and very professional. Well-trained! Food was delicious and beautifully displayed. This is an odd thing to say but the portions were almost too big!! Salads were HUGE and we could only eat half of them. Entrees were also large but heck, leftovers are never a bad thing! A great evening. Thanks!
