    Fabulous cocktails and food was good, but not as good as they used to be. Bread service was warmed dinner rolls that were dry and appeared store bought. Mashed potatoes were completely un-seasoned. My steak and salad were very good and nothing was outright bad. I just think the details have declined, except that the cocktails were and still are top tier!

    The service was excellent, the food was outstanding. Our one complaint : we wanted to order a side of bacon to accompany the French Toast, which oddly lacked any protein with it. The response was a polite no- we had to order an entire second entree just to have a couple slices of bacon. Disappointingly unreasonable.

    My husband and I normally go here for dinner, which is always amazing. Their filet medallions and mashed potatoes are chefs kiss. Service is always top notch. But today we went and tried their brunch for the first time and WOW. Was not excepting it to be that good. My husband got the is quits and gravy and I got the French toast. The French toast was made from thick brioche bread and it was so soft and had so much flavor. And portions were big! Another great experience at 1808.

    Food and drinks were great. It took over 5 minutes for anyone to come to our table. There were several open tables so it didn’t appear that the server was just busy. Not a great look for a first visit to a restaurant. The food was excellent, drinks were great. It picked up from there. Service was never remarkable, but adequate.

    Other than waiting over 10 minutes for someone to acknowledge we were seated, food and service (afterwards) was great. We will definitely go back. Food was very good. Excellent value. We ordered the smashburger, shrimp &grits, and chicken pecan salad. All were excellent!
