801 Chophouse

Great food....wonderful service...very expensive

Amazing food and service! We went to celebrate our 15 year wedding anniversary and they were so sweet! Thank you

Had a really good experience, David was our server. He did a great job of explaining the menu and the specials. Ordered the veal chops which were cooked to perfection. Got the iceberg salad. Also got the scalloped potatoes and Expresso cheesecake. We brought some bottles of wine for a $25 cork fee per bottle. Decor in the restaurant was nice, they did have the cows and farm murals on the walls which I thought we cool but didn't really make sense in the setting.

We enjoy 801's atmosphere and steaks for everything from business meetings to celebrations. Always a great experience

The Sunday supper is an amazing deal. Great atmosphere and service. Don't really drink wine but they seemed to have a good selection.

Excellent service, atmosphere and food. Would recommend to anyone seeking an upscale restaurant to gather for any type of occasion.

Amazing food &. customer service. Michael was our waiter, and we couldn't have asked for better service. Great place to celebrate a special occasion.

Gift from our sons for our Anniversary. It was very good food, excellent service and I would go back again! Prices are normal for an upscale restaurant.

Great food and terrific service!

My Wife and I always come here for our special occasions. Service is always superb. Their drink and wine selections never disappoint. 801 is definitely one of the most expensive places in all of Des Moines but when you want a perfectly cooked premium steak while celebrating a special occasion, there isn't a better place to satisfy your indulgences.

A wonderful anniversary dinner. Prime rib for me and lobster for my wife.

Worth the cost. Steak best in the state. Smoke strawberries with ice cream was simple and great

First off, our server Paul was fantastic. Extremely attentive and just all around great at his job. We were there of our anniversary and the personal touches the staff added were amazing. Heart shaped confetti on the table, a hand written card from the staff and a free dessert with happy anniversary written on the plate. Even the menu had happy anniversary written in it. Now the real star: THE FOOD. My husband ordered the Delmonico with the Buffalo Trace preparation and I the filet medallions. Mine was cooked to perfection exactly how I asked, my husbands was slightly underdone but they were happy to throw it back on the girl to get it just right. We had broccolini and lobster Mac and cheese and both were awesome. The creme brûlée was to die for. Even the bread and butter was delicious. It was an all around amazing experience and we will definitely be back!

Amazing steaks. Interesting appetizers. Excellent servers and staff.Just know that this quality comes with a high cost. If you can afford it, it's fantastic.

Food was delicious. Elegant and rich ambiance with fine service. Lovely food presentation.

Delicious starters (tried shrimps and calamari) and amazing steaks (try lobster potato with it - special!), so good, that must try it if you happen to be in Des Moines! Definetely will be back, if around!

Great food, and very attentive staff. Not inexpensive, but well worth the price.

So good! Incredible food and service! Pumpkin chai cheesecake was AMAZING. I would go back JUST for that lol

Please be aware of pricing here. My wife and I had dinner here about a month ago and she loved the look of a 16 oz NY Strip that was on the original menu, our server came over and told us about the specials that day and they had a 20 oz NY Strip (Bone In) that she actually ordered. It is partially our fault for not asking the price, but what could 4 oz of bone cost?In this case, the 16oz was about $45 (if memory serves me correct) and the 20 oz came in at $92. This is astounding.Her steak and mine weren't even that great. The sides were pretty good though.

The service was top notch. The food was surprisingly OK. The steak was absolutely delicious. The lobster corn chowder could use a little less corn, the escargot was a little flat with the bread crumbs, and the butter for the bread was very bland. Lobster Mac and Cheese had almost a sweet flavor, wasn't a fan. They have an amazing wine selection, the strawberry salad was refreshing. I would come back again and try the souffle but I was stuffed. (Still ate the above mentioned, just wasn't the level I expected from this establishment)

Wonderful place to take that special person in your life. Great place for any occasion. Service was nothing short of spectacular. The food was absolutely delicious. This place is Top Choice..

As always great food and great service! Cocktails are always on point and the filets are amazing. Always have a hard time deciding between the truffle butter topping or the bone marrow butter topping. They are both fantastic! The brocollini was charred perfectly and the melted butter accompaniment was a welcome addition.

Superb food, prepared perfectly. Attentive but not overly friendly service. It was our anniversary, which I told them when I made the reservation, and they had a little sign and confetti on the table and offered us a free dessert. We shared a Grand Marnier souffle, which was wonderful. The only downgrade I give them is that the dining room is crowded, hot and noisy. When you're paying this much to eat you shouldn't be sweating and shouting at your dining companions to be heard. The ambience would be vastly improved by removing a row of tables.

Best Ribeye EVER!! Great Staff. Wonderful dining environment.

Fantastic restaurant. Not the most creative, but for quality of execution they are excellent. The cocktails are delicious. Bone-in tenderloin is buttery. Lobster mashed potatoes worth going to food church for.

Great food and top notch service. One of our favorite special occasion restaurants in Des Moines.

Amazing happy hour! Delicious comfort food and cocktails to enjoy after work before braving the cold.

We had an amazing experience here! They made our anniversary very special. It is pricey, but a phenomenal experience and kind, courteous and knowledgeable staff.

Nice staff, great food. I had the smaller filet with the bourbon glaze. Very well prepared. Sides are á la carte.

Very pleasant staff. Great food

It was really good food. The Mac and cheese and for $1 more bacon. These were big chunks of bacon. My only complaint would be they are a little chalky from the flower but that's being but picky. The bone marrow appetizer was quite different and delicious. I liked it with the tomatoes as my wife liked it with the caper salad. The tomahawk steak was delicious. Cooked spot on. I would have preferred a little more salt and pepper seared on top. We were pretty shocked that the table next to us sent their steak back. The menu has what the temps mean. Underrated in all of this is the bread. The bread really was basically perfect. The service was amazing. The experience overall was a ton of fun. I wasn't a huge fan of the chocolate raspberry cake, but that's not the reason to go here. The cake itself was very good. I wasn't a fan of the raspberries (I love raspberries) and how the were in the middle.

Went there for my husband and my 5 year wedding anniversary. They decorated the table with heart shaped confetti and even gave us a card for our anniversary. Our waiter was amazing, very attentive and kind. To drink I ordered the summer champagne and it was delicious, very easy to drink and not too sweet. For food, I ordered the prime rib single cut with the cognac butter with mushrooms. The meat was very tender and the sauce was a very good pair with the meat. My husband ordered the porterhouse with the same sauce. He said that it was very good. We will definately be back!

Had a private party in one of the rooms. Very nice. Wait staff fabulous. Food perfect. Highly recommend

Excellent food. Very tasty. Service was very friendly and knowledgeable. Excellent night.

It’s on the pricey side but worth every penny. My fiancé and I go here for a date night every one in a while. Definitely one of the nicest places around. Some places I feel like the quality isn’t worth the price but here I think it is. The steak is the best!! I love steak tartare here. Huge portions so don’t worry about not having enough. My fiancé got the prime rib and it was ginormous. We like our steak rare and some places don’t do a great job at having it actually rare but this was a rare steak!! Can’t wait to come back for more!

Amazing food. It's expensive but it doesn't advertise as cheap. Very good and worth the money on a very special occasion.
