    I had such high hopes given the reviews. And at this price point, you have high expectations for food, service and atmosphere. We went on a Tuesday night, and it was not crowded at all. The hush puppies were overcooked and dry, and remained uneaten (they removed them from the bill without being requested to do so-very nice). My son ordered his dinner and a vegetable side, and requested no red pepper flakes (which were listed) on the vegetable side. Lo and behold the pasta dish had red pepper flakes in it (which was not listed on the menu) and so the pasta remained uneaten (we did't say anything about it-but it should've been pretty obvious to anyone paying attention to the order and the fact that the pasta was cleared untouched). Alaskan king crab legs on special--yum, I couldn't resist. When I asked about the size of the portion, as I wasn't starving, I was told the price first. Twice. Then that it was 1 lb. I didn't ask the price. I needed to know the number of legs, visual of the amount of meat. One leg was enormous. the other not so much. Neither of them was tender and sweet. Thankful for the melted butter to drown them in. Wasn't going to complain because I understand he price of crab and restaurant margins. But I did give feedback after I paid the bill. There were plenty of servers around the 1/4 full restaurant and yet there was a lack of warmth and graciousness to the service. Couldn't catch anyone's eye to ask for more water. It was just strange. Maybe they saw mom and three adult children and we got written off? All in all, a disappointment.

    Of the almost 10 years we’ve been dining with 801, we’ve NEVER had a bad experience. Our waitress tonight was Alex and she was the absolute sweetest. She was excited to share her recommendations and provided quick, yet excellent service. I asked about the lobster bisque (which to my disappointment, wasn’t listed on the menu like at Chop) but she immediately ran back to the chef and asked if he could accommodate my request (he did), which she didn’t have to do! Such a kind gesture and a happy surprise. My husband had the scallops while I had the filet oscar with Jumbo lump crab! Definitely worth the $$$. Ask for Alex next time you visit!

    This was not the first time we have dined at 801 Fish. However, it is the first time we went for a special occasion which was my wife's birthday. I let the restaurant know ahead of time and they made the experience very special. In additional to a personal greeting they wrote Happy Birthday on our menus and provided my wife with a rolled menu that was signed by the entire staff! Food was superb as was the service. The desert had a Happy Birthday greeting. This is what truly makes a restaurant special!

    This was a surprise dinner for my wife’s birthday. I’m not sure how many times we’ve eaten here, but it is multiple. The first time, the experience, service and food were outstanding. The last time we were there the food was good and the service was marginal. This time the service was terrible (inappropriate attention to my daughter’s boyfriend, forgetful and slow) and the food was lackluster. Too many restaurant options in this price range to put up with what we experienced. We’re not going back.

    Mixed. Oysters were amazing. Service was super slow and our server was really nice but not knowledge about the food or the wine. They need a couple of really good vegetables dishes… the pasta was mediocre and Brussels sprouts inedible…highs and lows. And the restaurant is too noisy. Can’t hear conversations.

    Stunning decor and wonderful service, unfortunately the food was passable. We weren’t impressed with the tartare, the deep fried lobster bites were decent, the fish special was tolerable. Unfortunately, a tad overpriced for the level of food offered. Sadly, the cocktails were also underwhelming.
