Excellent experience with two male colleagues. My boss enjoyed 801 while in Omaha, so we were anxious to see if his rave review translated to the franchise in DC. I'm happy to report that 801 lived up to the hype.
This is new to the area and has only been open for a few months, so they are still going through some growing pains.
was a little sloppy, and the maitre d tried to seat us at the bar ( making the suggestion more than once - I'm guessing because we were dressed fairly casually). Eventually, we were seated at a table in the bar area, which was fine, but louder than I preferred. The restaurant was not busy, and I took this as a slight. Luckily, a bunch of men don't really care, but if this had been a "date night" or special occasion, it could have gotten the evening off on the wrong foot.
Our server was doubling as a bartender, again fine, but when the bar was busy, service lagged. She was friendly and knew the menu very well, made good recommendations, and paced the meal well.
The steaks are the reason to visit, and we're exceptional. 801 doesn't rely on sauces, toppings, or butter to enhance the flavor ( although several options were available.) Just salt, pepper and get out of the way!
Overall, highly recommended! I only hope that they muster enough business to survive the growing pains. I look forward to a return visit in 2025!
