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.

    Anyone looking for a casual but fine dining experience in Delaware, Ohio, look no further than 1808. The selection of food and alcohol, combined with a wonderful atmosphere and service experience, make 1808 a great spot to have a wonderful dinner experience with friends and/or family. My wife and I enjoyed a lovely New Year’s Eve dinner with incredible appetizers and perfectly cooked steaks as the main course. I highly recommend the ribeye!

    My husband, Tom, and I had a wonderful experience at 1808 on New Year's Eve. This is our third year to have dinner at 1808 on New Year's Eve. I requested a table near a window and we were pleased to have that available for our party of 4. Our server, Noah, was outstanding. He is personable, helpful, friendly, and dedicated to the spirit of 1808 to make sure every guest has a memorable time. We'll be back soon.

    Great food at brunch! The presentation was amazing. Eggs were cooked hard on the Benedict, which was disappointing.

    My daughter, daughter-in-law and I had our annual Christmas brunch and 1808 is our favorite spot before an afternoon of shopping! Our server, Katie, was outstanding. She is both personable and attentive. Thank you. We’ll see you next Christmas.

    This was our first time at 1808 and we are looking forward to going back. We were welcomed by the hostess and our server and promptly seated. We tried one of the seasonal pomegranate cocktails and brown sugar old-fashioneds to start. Both were delicious. Our party had the 1808 salad, the mushroom pasta dish and the twin medallions and a bottle of the Sokol Blosser. Everyone was extremely pleased. Our server was outstanding.
