    My fiancé and I were out tonight to celebrate our engagement and exactly 11 months until our wedding day. Every single staff member was excellent and our waiter, CJ, really went above and beyond to help us celebrate. Not only that but we had the best drinks, appetizers, steaks, and soufflé that you can get in the Midwest. We were amazed by everything and can easily say that the experience was worth every penny.

    Went to dinner on a Sunday to celebrate my birthday with my wife & daughter-801 did not disappoint! Great service, Belvedere Martini’s were awesome w/blue cheese olives, great steaks, butter cake for desert. Never felt rushed & GM stopped twice to make sure it was a good night. Will definitely be back.

    Bar staff was great. Service last night was slow, and food wasn't cooked to order. I never send food back, so we just took it home...

    My sincerest apologies at the underwhelming experience it seems you have encountered, Randy. Please let me know if there is anything you could add so we can avoid this with future visits. Apologies, Quin Lohenry 801 Chophouse AGM Des Moines, IA

    My lambs fat didn't get rendered. My sides were cold. I ordered carrots and they were under cooked the mashed potatoes were over mixed and dense. I was impressed with the service, and the restaurant was beautiful.
