The desserts were fantastic!
I would highly recommend as a go to Seafood option in Denver.
We will definitely be back.
The menu has everything and more. It is designed to be shared so you get a little bit of everything, and they also have a good selection of main courses as well. The food comes out as it is ready and is coursed out perfectly, leaving you ready for more. The servers know the menu and were ready to answer any questions I had. They also have a selection of yummy cocktails and NA bevs.
The uni toast is wildly creative, the crudos are as fresh as ever, the crab cake is insanely delicious…I didn’t have a single dish that I didn’t enjoy. Each dish is impeccably thought out by the chef!! Omg and the desserts!! So good. I recommend the pavlova and the truffle ice cream. You can’t go wrong at 801 Fish.
We arrived at 801 Fish and we were sat in a booth along the main stretch of the bar. The aesthetic of the restaurant was light, coastal, and stunningly oceanic. The bar boasted a Mermaid Sea Stained Glass Window that stole the show.
Our server Brittany was polished & attentive. She was incredibly knowledgeable on the menu and ran us through her favorites. General Manager, Michael was active on the restaurant floor throughout the duration of our meal; he was vivacious and poised. We had the pleasure of meeting Executive Chef, Kai and he wowed us with everything coming out of the kitchen.
I started off with a cocktail, the Troon. The Troon was made with Absolute Grapefruit Vodka, fresh grapefruit juice, & a sugared rim. A pretty drink in looks and taste – the Troon had the distinct flavor of grapefruit. The grapefruit’s bitterness was tempered by the sweetness of the sugar rim.
The Moscow Mule was made with Belvedere Blackberry Lemongrass Vodka, Ginger Beer, and Fresh Lime Juice. This cocktail was summer in a mule mug – refreshing af with a sparkling fruitiness on the tongue.
801 Fish’s seafood is 36 hours fresh & we tasted that quality in every dish. The selection of crudo, oysters, & shellfish served were highly impressive.
The Uni Toast was made with Hackleback Caviar, Squid Ink Milk Toast, Coconut, Basil, & Fleur De Sel. Lord have mercy – this was one of my favorite bites of the meal. The midnight black toast was aesthetically paired with the bright orange sea urchin. The toast was crisp on the outside and fluffily dense on the inside. The saltiness of the squid ink toast complemented the creamy blanket of sweet uni.
We had half a dozen oysters – the Permaquid and the Ichiban. The oysters were exquisite. The Pemaquid were from Damariscotta River, Maine. The Pemaquids were crisp & had a clean, lemon flavor. The Ichiban from north Puget Sound were deep cupped with mild salinity.
For Chilled Shellfish we had the Colossal Shrimp Cocktail. The shrimp cocktail came to us in a glass goblet with smoke effusing out of it – beautiful presentation. The shrimp were indeed colossal and these bad boys were hands down the best shrimp we have ever had. They were plump, juicy, and each succulent bite provided a burst of mild sweetness from the sea.
Chef Kai surprised us with a Crudo Sampler. Each of the Crudo samples was so fresh and each had it’s own unique accoutrements.
The Dayboat Scallop Ceviche was made with Meyer Lemon Leche De Tigre, Fresno Chili, & Plantain Chips. This was a light plate with mouth-awakening acidity. The soft scallops against the crisp plantain chips made for a stellar texture combination.
The Prince Edward Island Mussels were made with Coconut Curry Broth, Dill, Thai Basil, & Grilled Baguette. The plump mussels soaked up the creamy, Thai spiced coconut curry broth and took on the flavor making for juicy bites.
The Maryland Crab Cake was made with Fresno Vinaigrette, Cucumber, Cara Cara Orange. The crab cake was hot & hearty.
The Lobster Bisque was made with Sourdough Crouton, & Tarragon. The bisque was thick and tasted of butter lobster; both sweet & savory.
For Mains we had the Mahi-Mahi and the Halibut.
The Santa Monica Mahi-Mahi was made with Spring Onion, Gooseberry, & Green Strawberry. The Mahi-Mahi was reminiscent of spring with its fruit dressings.
The Alaskan Halibut was made with Sunchoke, Morel Mushroom, Salsa Verde, & Brown Butter. The mild fish played well with the sweet brown butter and earthiness of the mushrooms.
For dessert we had the Lemon Tart and Truffle Ice Cream.
The Lemon Tart was made with Buckwheat Tart & Matcha Meringue. The tart was a heavenly treat that embodied spring & summer with it’s delicate lemon zest.
The Truffle Ice Cream was made with Black Truffle, Grana Padano, & Cocoa. The ice cream had a mellow sweetness to it that reminded me of frosted flakes.
Shockingly so – from Sheen the manager and Casey, Lela and the chef!
Six different kinds of oysters on the half shell – and uni with avocado toast
And whole live Maine lobster 2 1/2 pounds
I cannot say enough as a foodie who is from Washington DC!!
My beautiful wife and I were so impressed. We just live for places like this.
I must say, I wish we lived next-door
Because I would be there every day for dinner.
