Chapter One Food And Drink Guilford

Husband and I had a nice light dinner at Chapter One. Clam chowder was a little thick but quite delicious. I had the mussels in a spicy broth. They were very good. Husband had the Mac & Cheese. He said it was very tasty. Our server, Ava was lovely! We haven’t been to this restaurant in a while and we will return. Thank you!

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Went here on a Wednesday for happy hour. We sat outside on the patio on a beautiful day. The patio is gorgeous. There's a beautiful lawn behind it with some art sculptures. It's very serene and amazing. The happy hour cocktails were delicious and inexpensive. We had the mango habanero wings and the loaded fries. Both were 9.5/10. Our server was funny and friendly. 10/10 experience. Will definitely go back. If you've been before and haven't been back, you owe it to yourself to go as soon as possible. Update: Went for brunch. 10 stars. Best eggs Benedict and home fries I've had. Period. Update 2: Chapter One has not always had the best reputation in Guilford, but that is in the past. They have reinvented and upped their game and are in the big leagues now. Try their pineapple and pear infused vodka. Amazing

We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Chapter One in Guilford! The food was outstanding from start to finish — every dish we tried was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The kids’ mac and cheese was a huge hit (creamy, cheesy, and definitely not your average kids’ meal). The brunch burger was juicy and delicious, and the BLT with avocado and cucumber was a fresh twist on a classic — light but packed with flavor. Our Bloody Marys were spot on — perfectly seasoned and a great complement to the meal. The service made the experience even better: every staff member was friendly and attentive, and the owner personally stopped by to chat with us and make sure everything was perfect. Chapter One has that great balance of cozy and classy, and it’s clear they really care about their guests. We’ll definitely be back soon — highly recommend!

We had a wedding rehearsal dinner (24 people) on the outside patio but a severe thunderstorm occurred an hour before. I was amazed to see that everything was dry, tables were set, looking lovely and ready to go. The staff was amazing! The waiter service impeccable. They brought the right orders to the right people no matter that the guests had moved about. The food was great and the experience was joyful. Most incredibly, unlike most other venues I had checked, Chapter One accepted reservations for outside seating on the patio! Many thanks to Brian, Shannon & the staff !

I recently dined at Chapter One Food and Drink and overall had a great experience. The rigatoni bolognese was absolutely delicious — rich, hearty, and perfectly cooked. The calamari was also exceptional, crispy on the outside and tender inside, one of the best I’ve had in a while. The mussels, however, were a bit disappointing; they had an off taste, almost as if they weren’t completely fresh, which threw the dish off a bit. On a brighter note, the arugula salad was fresh, and balanced. The drinks were great, and the waiter’s service was attentive and friendly, adding to the positive atmosphere. Despite the hiccup with the mussels, I’d still recommend Chapter One for its welcoming vibe and standout dishes like the rigatoni and calamari.

What a lovely time! The service is spot-on, and the food is incredible! Lovely atmosphere to boot! This is a wonderful place for dinner. Francine, you are a gem! Thanks for the wonderful service!

Francine was amazing! Came here with my best friends and the atmosphere was great. Staff were so friendly and fun and the food was AMAZING! Already was a go to, but I’ll be back soon.
