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!!

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.

This was the best food I've had in a long time. We started with the Japanese milk bread, which was so fluffy it was almost cheesy. Even though it's a fish restaurant, they have many other options. The steak we ordered for our entree was cooked to perfection and the sauce it came with was so good I was dipping everything in it. We tried a couple of sides. Lobster mac and cheese was my partners favorite! They couldn't finish it all, but kept coming back to the kitchen later that night to grab just one more bite. We also ordered the hush puppies and have never had such soft, pillowy hush puppies before. And we finished off with the cheesecake and tiramisu. Both were fantastic, and as a more savory than sweet person, I finished all of the cheesecake. Everything was delicious, the staff were very attentive, and it's nice that they have an open kitchen so you can see all the chefs work. Can't wait to come back again!

Sam was an excellent server and made us feel incredibly welcome, including recommending different options that were already Gluten Free and working with the chef to see what else could easily be made GF due to our preferences. The drinks were wonderful and fast to arrive. The oysters, scallops and fish we ordered were incredibly fresh and tasty and paired with great sides. We also ordered nearly all of the side dishes to share "family style" and loved them all, especially those carrots and the lobster fried rice. A really wonderful night spent celebrating a birthday and enjoying this dinner out! Great job 801!

Our service, first and foremost, was outstanding. We have been dining at 801 Fish for 6 years. Initially, we loved it. Our favorite dish was the tuna tartare until last year, or so, they changed it. It needed nothing to be changed. The tuna is different as well as the cucumber, peanut oil, garnish, aioli... everything. The fresh baked bread service was taken away and replaced with some sort of breadstick and then replaced with Japanese milk bread, which was better than the breadsticks, at least. The scallop ceviche was divine when that was first introduced to the menu and they have changed that as well with some tiny, chewy scallops and added tiny, popcorn type shrimp, probably because it is less expensive. Our bill was outlandish for the quality of food that was presented. Again, the service we had was impeccable and that was the highlight of the dinner. I just wish restaurants or new owners would not change a great thing when they have it. Unfortunately, which much sadness, we probably won't be returning. We've even discussed the music chosen for such a restaurant and it does not mesh with the atmosphere. It should be nice with a classical or instrumental selection and they play Aerosmith- which has its time and place, but not when you're eating a $250 meal. For a fish branded restaurant it would be nice, also, if they had more options that you wouldn't necessarily find anywhere else, for instance, monk fish, walleye, trout , etc..... Lastly, my boyfriend had a very upset stomach all evening after his fish entree, which I did not have and I was fine, thankfully. I will always have great memories of 801 Fish, just not future memories.

Great upscale happy hour experience. Spanish octopus was THE BEST I have ever had. So delicious. Must try place!!!
Amazing experience! We had Jake as a server and he was so attentive and funny. We celebrated my Best friends birthday and he truly made the night even more special.

I've been coming to 801 Fish once or twice a year for several years. It's a place for special occasions for me. Food was very good, but scallops were not available at only 7:00. The oyster selections are excellent. Our service between courses was a bit slow. I'll be back, just hope it's at the tope of its game then.

The food was fine. I think we were expecting a different vibe and the Japanese milk bread was not impressive . Service was great though and we appreciated the complimentary dessert for our anniversary.

I am here probably once every other month. The food was excellent as always, but our server, Austin, was a little snippy with us. I’m not sure if he was having a bad night, but he seemed like he was in a rush to get us out of there-it was very clear he didn’t want to be serving us. He definitely got a bit of a sassy tone with us several time. For a dinner where we dropped $700 dollars, we would expect a little better service. I’m pretty unpleased with our last visit.
