We visit 801 Fish quite often, and they never disappoint. Staff friendly quick to help suggest new things, etc. This most recent visit, the chef customized my pasta. We decided to substitute crab in place of the clams. Don't think I'll ever eat it any different than that from here on out.

We had a wonderful Easter dining experience at 801 Fish. The service was on point the food was delicious and we enjoyed every minute.

Delightful!! Everything was delicious and incredibly fresh. And, the perfect amount of attention from our waiter. 😀

this is our favorite "go-to" in St. Louis for seafood. This is a step above others in that respect. The dishes are well presented, and the taste is always on point. We recommend this to our friends when they are in St. Louis. It is a restaurant that will cost a little more, but it's worth it! And on Sunday they have a Price Fix Sunday Supper, that is just as wonderful but can limit your spending. We highly recommend this dining experience.

The lobster bisque and crab cake appetizers were wonderful! We had the salmon and sea bass entrees. Both were EXCEPTIONAL!!! We did not enjoy the carrot side dish as they were too undercooked. We always enjoy dining at 801 Fish every time we visit St. Louis!

It turns out that high quality customer service is not obsolete. It is thriving, alive and well at 801 FISH. Dinner at 801 FISH was an overall grand experience. The hostess greeted us with smiles. The waiter, Delbert, was charming, courteous, professional and well versed on being able to adequately explain the menu items. The lobster fried rice, shrimp & shishito tempura, seasonal salad and Ora king salmon were absolutely delicious and fulfilling!

Delbert and the maitre d were attentive. The chef and another staff member visited the table to provide additional quality assurance and offer congratulations on our dining occasion. The staff seems as if they genuinely enjoy what they do.

I recommend this restaurant for any occasion and wish they could offer customer courtesy / care training to surrounding St. Louis eateries.

I had my bday dinner on 9/9/24 at 801 Fish, and they never ever disappoint. The food is always fresh, the staff is always attentive and professional, and the owner always checks on every table. I even received a free bday dessert. Recommend 10/10.

We went for our 17 year wedding anniversary. The oysters were delicious. Everything else was disappointing. We each ordered an entree from the daily special menu. Both came soaked in overpowering tomato sauce which completely dominated the flavor of the seafood. Our server was extremely friendly and congratulatory to the couple behind us whose anniversary it was as well. He seemed annoyed to deal with us and didn’t acknowledge our anniversary (we told them when we booked and were handed anniversary menus) until the end of our meal when I said “actually it’s our anniversary too” to which he promptly replied “I know” then quickly walked away. Overall a pretty big let down. Especially with all the hype and associated price.

I very much enjoyed my experience at 801 Fish. I received a gift certificate, which gave me a great excuse to go. Ashley was our waitress and absolutely lovely, attentive but also allowed my husband and I to continue our conversations.

The drink menu is wonderful. My husband had the Sea Urchin which I would describe as a dirty whiskey martini, extremely smooth. I was jealous of his drink. The wine menu was excellent.

The fish selection is great. I enjoyed the red snapper, a taste of home, and my husband had the lobster risotto both were very good.

We will be returning.

Great place to gather for happy hour or dinner. Right in the heart of Clayton.

Really did happy hour and appetizers not dinner.

The drinks were great and the food was great. Very elegant place that feels very nice.

Service was excellent as might be expected

Parking: The parking garage is right around the corner so it’s a little bit of a walk but very doable

Celebrated our anniversary dinner here and the experience was wonderful. Every member of the staff was so kind and acknowledged our anniversary from the moment we were sat to our table, to the time we left. Our server was very knowledgeable on the menu and provided wonderful suggestions. The food from start to finish was incredible. I love that the fish on the menu is served within 36 hours of being caught, which is by far the freshest fish you’ll find in St. Louis. The side dishes could’ve been a meal in themselves, very great for sharing. The chef came and spoke with us for a moment. Overall, a wonderful experience and I can’t wait to come back and try more of the menu! Thank you to the whole restaurant team for making our night such a treat!

Food was cooked well. Lacked any seasoning or spice. Manager was nice and attentive. Server- not so much.
