   We love the food. The wine and beer selection is good. A little pricey,but worth it. I would love to see the Brussels sprout appetizer on the menu again! Loved it!

   Our first meal at 1808 was fantastic. The beef carpaccio and salmon were delicious. Smallish menu with nice variety,

   We were very disappointed to have a piano player playing too loudly for us to hear each other. Piano is in the middle of 3 rooms, and we were seated several tables away in the restaurant section. What restaurant managers don’t understand is that older adults and people who like quiet hate restaurants where we can’t hear each other. The restaurant and bar were full on a Thursday night. Scallops are good but 3 scollops, peas, sauce and a spoon of squash purée feels like appetizer size rather than dinner size. Fried chicken was good, but needed more salt—-which the diner added. Service was good, except it took 3 requests to get a glass of wine that we requested after we put in our order.

   Please bring back the old calamari!! New seasoning is a bit odd, and the sauce is all at the bottom.

   Good service and good food. We were seated by children on a day date away from our children and the restaurant wasn’t full. Would have had a better experience if they had seated us away from screaming kids.

   Overall, it was a good dinner. The portion of 3 scallops on a portion of peas want worth $32.00. We have been here many times. Sad the meal wasn’t up to par.

    Everything was delicious EXCEPT the calamari. It used to be exceptionally good but it was awful- the worst we ever had. Why did you change the recipe-go back to the old recipe please.

    Small menu. Wrong food brought out. Ordered feature pork ribs. When they finally came out, they weren’t fully cooked and hard to cut into. Made them take it back and bring short ribs. Everyone finished before I got my meal. Short ribs extremely salty. O comp. I’m not a complainer but couldn’t let this one go

    Made a reservation, place was nearly empty. Seated right away and then that was the last that a staffmember of this restaurant acknowledged us. We made eye contact with nearly every single staff member (half of them were just hanging out?). 30 minutes later, we still hadn't met a waiter/waitress, or even got a water, so we left for a different restaurant. We will not be back, again.

    Too noisy. The music was turned up loud and my 80 yr old parents had a hard time hearing the conversation. Main dining room was loud and the music was too loud. We arrived 15 min early and were told we had to wait. Another couple came in 10 min later, an hour and 15 min early, and the hostess offered them a high top in the bar. We would have taken that table. When I asked she said they were holding people close to reservation time. I said about the couple after us and she said we could have a high top, too. Again, my parents are 80+ and she offered us a high top in the main walkway. The other couple took the one in the corner and out of the way. Totally irritated. When seated it was too loud for conversation. (Music) Waitress was great. My moms chicken salad wasn’t good. The chicken had been pounded flat and had a lot of coating, overcooked. It was very dry and chewy. No meaty chicken. My mom didn’t want me to complain, but I should have. The greens were fresh. The waffles delicious . The quiche was tasteless and the crust too thick. Won’t be back.

    Seated and drink orders taken. Drinks were good. Dinner was ordered and my wife and I had an acceptable even though lukewarm meal. Our guests however had a poor experience. His meal never arrived and her fish and sauce was only barely warm. The waitress never apologized or got the manager to correct the problems. Overall it was a bad experience from the restaurant that’s supposed to be the best in Delaware

    1808 was excellent. This was our first time there. I had the filet mignon and my wife had the salmon. Both were cooked to our specifications and they were both delicious! Portions were very good. Service was also very good. This is a nice place to relax with friends or family. It has a very welcoming atmosphere. We will definitely return!
