801 Restaurant and Bar

Second time here and they just knock it out of the park, cocktail drinks are reasonable IMHO and the food and service is great.

Wow wow wow! Brunch here during pride month was amazing! The steak and eggs and breakfast skillets are both really good. Can never go wrong with unlimited mimosas too.

This restaurant offers a relaxed, coastal atmosphere that allows for easy conversation without the distraction of loud music. The staff was exceptionally welcoming and attentive, contributing to a pleasant dining experience. The food was outstanding—flavorful, well-prepared, and surprisingly affordable. Overall, an excellent choice for quality dining in a laid-back setting.

This was by far one of the worst customer service experiences I’ve had. We arrived as walk-ins (not a reservation) and were seated without being informed of any time limit. After being there for approximately an hour and 20 minutes, we were told we’d need to vacate the table soon because it was needed for a party with a reservation.

A young female server (possibly Hispanic or Mexican) informed us there was a two-hour limit on tables, and that most guests usually adhere to it. This was news to us.

When I asked to speak with the manager, he explained that the two-hour limit is typically communicated to guests with reservations. I reminded him that we were walk-ins and had not been told anything about this policy. He checked the system and returned to say we had about 30 minutes left.

To make matters worse, we had ordered bottomless mimosas, and the server refused to bring another bottle of champagne because they “needed the table.” The manager eventually did bring us another bottle but reiterated that our time was nearly up.

When I jokingly mentioned I would leave a Google review, the manager responded dismissively, saying he didn’t care because he had already received many. That level of unprofessionalism was shocking.

This entire experience felt rushed, inconsiderate, and poorly managed. Had I known we’d be treated like this, I never would have chosen this place. Absolutely disappointing.

Service was top notch… food was delicious, great ambience.

Good vibes

Went here for bottomless brunch around 4th of July this summer and had the best time with friends. The juices for mimosas were a good selection and we definitely got our money’s worth. The steak and eggs were cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. Highly recommend for brunch!

Happy hour from 4-7 pm slaps. You gotta check out the rooftop which is heated in the winter and open in the summer. Bartender very nice.

Had a lovely time with friends here. The waiter was very friendly, helpful, and attentive. We couldn't decide between the pura vida bowl and the quesabirria tacos, and our server suggested we split them and double the birria tacos (it usually comes with two, but we ordered four for $10 extra). Both were great; the quesabirria were crispy, cheesy, and delicious, and the pura vida bowl (with blackened salmon) came pre portioned for us and was fresh. The menu described the tacos as being served in blue corn tortillas, and our server really pressed this point, but they came out on regular yellow corn tortillas. We asked about it, and our server was incredibly apologetic and gave us free churro chocolate cake (a little dry, but can you really complain about free cake?). Our other friend ordered the fajita nachos and loved them. We also ordered the cauliflower bites, and they were wonderfully seasoned and citrusy.
Ultimately a nice spot. The portions are a little small for the price, but everything was delicious. Hopefully we can coke back and try the blue corn quesabirria tacos in the future ;)

The place has a cool vibe. The food was really good. I got the oxtail grilled cheese. I will definitely be getting that again. The drinks weren’t bad either.
