Reviews
The desserts were amazing. The best carrot cake I have ever had. We went here for our 18th anniversary. So they blessed us with a plate of Chocolate Chip Cookies. OMG! Get these as well. You will not be disappointed. Again, best ever.
Cons: The lighting is real dim. The pictures on this review do not do the food justice.
This was our first time here. We do frequent their competition often. We will definitely have to rotate more often.
ENJOY!

The evening begins before one even crosses the threshold. 801 Chophouse in Clayton, St. Louis, reveals its commitment to hospitality the moment the car rolls to a stop—valet at the ready, a smile as polished as the chrome on the curb.
Inside, the sense of occasion deepens. Andrew, the general manager, greets by name with the kind of warmth that turns formality into familiarity. The room—rich wood, warm lighting, and echoes of a 1920s New York supper club—feels both grand and intimate, as though it’s been waiting for your arrival. Bob, my server for the evening, is introduced and proves, over the next few hours, to be equal parts guide, storyteller, and quietly attentive orchestrator.
The first overture arrives in the form of a small, warm loaf of sourdough, its crust gently crackling, its butter impossibly soft. A simple pleasure, but an omen of good things to come—restraint is difficult, knowing what lies ahead.
Bob then unveils the evening’s performance piece: a silver tray of raw, glistening cuts of beef. His ten-minute recital of each—from marbled ribeyes to the understated filet—elevates this from mere menu consultation to an education in reverence for the craft. Decision-making becomes deliciously difficult.
To toast the evening’s pre-birthday celebration, I opt for a zero-proof 801 Chophouse Spritz—an effervescent, ginger-kissed refresher built on 1885 Giffard aperitif, lime, and club soda. It proves an ideal prelude to a jewel-like tuna tartare: ruby cubes of fish with creamy avocado, bright orange soy glaze, wasabi emulsion, and the crunch of sesame-laced wontons.
A cup of lobster bisque follows—velvety, rich, and perfumed with the essence of the sea, studded with tender lobster meat and paired with a toasted bread for just enough texture.
The main act: an 8-ounce petite filet, brushed with the house 801 rub and crowned with buttery chanterelles. Cooked to a precise medium—warm red heart, juices glistening—it’s accompanied by French green beans with bacon and caramelized onion, and mashed potatoes enriched with roasted garlic and Boursin cheese. A plate that manages to be both indulgent and impeccably restrained.
Dessert is a chocolate soufflé, risen with dramatic height and served with vanilla anglaise, chocolate sauce, and berry compote. A cup of coffee turns it into an unhurried finale. And then—an unprompted touch of charm: “Happy Birthday Paul” printed discreetly on the evening’s menu.
This is what separates a fine restaurant from a great one: a mastery not just of food and drink, but of experience. Here, hospitality is practiced with the same precision as the carving of a prime rib. From its origins in Des Moines to its Clayton outpost, 801 Chophouse has perfected the art of making each guest feel both celebrated and at home.
This is less a meal than a masterclass in graciousness—served rare, of course.

Make sure to book reservations with Diana – very generous educating the different cuts, suggesting specific pairings, and bring tonight’s experience together with an exceptional personality!
The $19 scalloped potatoes were bland and dry—our 90-year-old grandma makes them better. The lobster bisque had nice chunks of lobster but was overpowered by a strong lemon flavor. The filet mignon was fine, nothing special.
As a Marylander, I was especially disappointed by the so-called “Maryland Jumbo Lump Crab Cake.” Our server told us it was mostly lump crab meat, but it was heavy on filler and light on crab—truly misleading and disappointing.
Our visit did not live up to the exceptional hospitality that Chophouse Greencoat promises!
