Amazing ability to prepare foods for any dietary restrictions and needs. Best in town. Fun adventure for pre-teens and teens to learn how to grill and fondue as well as a variety of tasty options to eat. Server was kind and took care of all our needs and wants. It appeared the restaurant was understaffed because our server disappeared for fairly long intervals.

Fantastic experience overall—service, food, and setting. The Steakhouse is an experience on its own and a wonderful spot for a very nice dinner. It was easy to have a conversation and enjoy the company and food. Highly recommend the Denver Steak!

Our visit to 801 Chophouse on Monday the 23rd of December was absolutely fantastic. From the moment we were greeted at the front desk to saying our goodbyes as we picked up our coats the experience was one of joy and delight. The staff was great. The quiet tone in the restaurant was inviting/comforting. The drinks hit the spot, including the Penicillin cocktail, which isn’t a “typical” beverage but was spot on. Our food was amazing and the steaks are some of the best we’ve ever had anywhere. We look forward to our next visit. Thank you to the staff of 801 – Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
