The risotto was extra salty. And even the Wellington was a little salty. But everything else was awesome and the waiter Samuel was amazing.

Ben was a perfect server. Our party delayed and unfortunately not all could make it but the service was perfect. A wonderful reunion of friendship was celebrated! I've lived away from KC for some time now and this was a treat to be served for such a long time homecoming. Extra virgin was a delight and so accommodating. Thank you yo all staff but special shout out to Ben and Jason!

Dining at the 801 Chophouse in Kansas City, Mo is a delight. The food is excellent, the service is great but expensive as is most steak restaurants. I would recommend it for a special event. We went to celebrate my partner's birthday.

The steaks were amazing as always. This was our first time trying the bison steak and it was to die for. You always enjoy the Oscar crab topping on the steaks. Special shout out to our server, Mira, whose excellent service was as much a part of this five star rating as the food.  Great cocktails too.
