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.

    Beef stroganoff was tough and pork chop very fatty. Plus the $8.00 bread was just stale rolls. Disappointed

    Restaurant is lovely. Great atmosphere. Service is excellent. Steaks were overcooked and mashed potatoes were terrible. Lettuce in salad was brown. Water was warm. Deserts were amazing.

    We always look forward to going to this restaurant ! The food is flavorful, memorable and leaves you with that " I can't wait to go back" type of feeling. If you are are bourbon drinker they have a cocktail called the brown butter old fashioned that is amazing! The service is top notch and atmosphere is very pleasant.
