I’ve been going to 801 Fish for years, so it’s disappointing to say that my recent visit wasn’t the experience I’m used to. Unfortunately, the service was not as attentive as it has been in the past, which was surprising because the staff has always been one of the highlights of this restaurant.
I ordered crab legs, and for the price point I expected them to be perfect, but they were overcooked and not very enjoyable. I chose not to say anything during the meal, but it did leave me feeling disappointed.
This restaurant has always been one of my go-to spots, but it honestly feels like things have changed since last year. I’m hoping this was just an off night because I’ve had many great meals here before and would love to see it return to the quality it used to have.

We had a lovely dinner at Fish 801. The oysters were delicious. We had asked the waiter to choose two options for us based on our flavor profile and he did a great job. He also went out of his way to ask about the caviar we wanted which he was told was sold out. Turns out they had an incoming order that day and it was actually available. The lobster fried rice was yum! And the sea bass was cooked perfectly and tasted so good. We enjoyed how close this restaurant was to our hotel too so we were able to just walk on over.

I and my spouse arrived early (5 pm) for our reservation and sat in the bar area after spending a long day at my mother-in-law’s funeral. The server poured water and then disappeared. I waited 5 minutes in a mostly empty bar while my server chatted with the other servers. I told the hostess that I was ready to order a drink. She spoke to the waiter and said he would get to me. 5 more minutes past and we decided to leave. Had an amazing meal and wine at Casa Don Alphonso next door at the Ritz.

Sooo, for the negative…Service here is a bit slow even on “slow” nights. I’ve been here a few times and each time my party and I have waited up to 20 minutes before being acknowledged and receiving water at our table.
The food though is superb!! I’ve had almost all of their appetizers which have all been very good and a few of their entrees (swordfish, buttered crusted fish?, and the branzino with a side of lobster fried rice) which have all been stellar!! If I could, I would probably dine here weekly. Outside of slower service the ambiance is beautiful, location is perfect, and food is delicious.

I went to happy hour today, so we happily ordered over 100 dollars of foods. We asked for togo boxes for left over food when we’re about to pay, the waiter refused to give us boxes. He was impatient since we came in, and at that moment, he played to the extreme. I’ve been to this restaurant few times at regular hours but this is my first time to go to happy hour. I didn’t know that we couldn’t take our leftover foods. It’s just strange that we paid for the food but couldn’t take the leftovers. The waiter should notify us in advance when we’re ordering. I also own few restaurants and if I see a lady and kid ordering a lot, I will kindly reminded them that you cannot take the leftovers. In the end, my son didn't want to waste the food, so he wrapped the leftovers with napkins and put it in his pocket to bring it home. I have never encountered such a poor service. I was very satisfied during the last few visits that’s why I’m going there for happy hour this time. How did it become like this now? I won’t go there again and I will recommend our friends and family members not to go to this place.

Celebrated my birthday here. This was my fist experience at 801 Fish and I will most definitely come back! Our waiter Austin was great! Our food was absolutely delicious and the ambiance didn't disappoint. I would totally recommend if you are a seafood lover like myself. The Chilean Sea Bass with miso was absolutely amazing!! So fresh and delicious!! There were definitely other things that I want to try on my next visit!!
I enjoyed our dining experience at 801 Fish perfect for a date night or mini business meeting.

My wife and I celebrated our 32nd wedding anniversary and we couldn't have chosen a better restaurant to celebrate WITH US! from the time we entered greeted by management, coats checked and the team begin to make this night memorable! Our server Delbert has exceptional knowledge of the menu, was extremely personable and charismatic. It felt like he was family and sought to really be intentional on detecting our palate and assisting in choosing the right meal for us! Not being a prisoner of the moment because I have been going out to eat for 50 years but Delbert is the BEST server we have ever experienced! The Executive Chef Tyler Wayne Blackmon's touch on the selections for the night spoke to his passion for creating exquisite cuisine! The food didn't just taste good but it spoke to us echoing the passion of the chef and importance of our celebration. The chef even made my wife some fried shrimp off menu and she was over the moon excited!! The whole team signed our special anniversary menu to commemorate this evening!! Suggestions that we thoroughly enjoyed : Garlic Parmesan Grilled Oysters - seafood lovers dream Lobster Risotto - very flavorful containing a whole lobster tail. Amazing Miller's Amish Chicken - a chefs special the most moist chicken you will ever taste From the bar- “Cold Fashioned”. PLEASE TRY THIS DRINK such a spin on the old fashioned staple that I can't wait to try it again!! A host of desserts that rounded out the celebration. Cookies, bread pudding and brown sugar cheese cake! 801 Fish sets the industry standard for quality, service, taste and experience that most restaurants can't only hope to achieve. You owe yourself this experience! Thank you 801 fish. See you soon!!! Rev Cedric Portis

This is a difficult review to write. My companion and I found every single dish inedible. It started with the lobster bisque. It was thin, with no discernible pieces of lobster and absolutely no lobster flavor. It wasn't creamy, tasted overcooked, and reminded me of something reheated. The single piece of lobster in the bowl was tough and rubbery. Next came the butterfish and asparagus. The asparagus was overwhelmingly salty and smothered in hollandaise. As for the butterfish, it was... confusing. It tasted as though it had been cooked in coconut milk, though that wasn't mentioned on the menu. It was supposed to be panko-crusted, but there was no noticeable breading at all. After such disappointing first and second courses, I didn't even want to risk dessert and opted for sorbet as the safest choice. The only bright spot of the evening was the drinks — those were actually good.

The service was very slow and food bland. Our bill was just under 500.00 for 3 people. The woman in charge of the kitchen and service dropped a silver water container on the floor, spilled all of the ice and water, the picked it up and set it on the counter with the other water containers for use again. We were very disappointed in the experience.

My husband and I usually love 801 Chophouse so we wanted to try out 801 Fish. Overall the service and ambiance was exceptional. However, the food was a little lacking. We had the following: Oysters Rockefeller - pretty good! Fried calamari- Delicious and perfectly fried. However, one of the sauces that came with it was extremely heavy in sesame oil, it was unbearable. Lobster Risotto - lovely texture and amount of lobster was generous. However, there was very little flavor and/or seasoning. A little more flavor and it would have been amazing. Clam linguini - very good, flavorful, however the portion was very small. Grilled broccolini - was a little over grilled and bitter. Lobster Fried Rice - Again slightly too heavy on the sesame oil and lacking in salt. Otherwise it was pretty good. Fingerling Potatoes - fried to perfection, and the garlicy butter sauce was delicious.
