- DDavidChicago / Illinois •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoFood was excellent as always. There was a slight delay in initial service due to our server working with a large table elsewhere in the restaurant when we were seated. Not a big deal but partway through our meal he let me know that they would comp the lovely bottle of Brunelo I had selected. I told them that this was completely unnecessary but he insisted. This attention to detail and commitment to service really sets 801 Chop House apart from most other restaurants. Of course the food was delicious and the steaks were perfect but I really appreciate the restaurant's care for its patrons. A cherry on top happened as we were walking out and another staff we had not met - front of house director perhaps - thanked us again and apologized for the service delay. Seriously! There are few finer restaurants in the state of Iowa and no finer steak houses.More info801 Chophouse – Des MoinesPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Downtown Des Moines•4.8
- BBreAnnIowa •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoGreat experience. We love eatery A! Make sure to check out the happy hour deals. Our server didn’t mention anything to us and it wasn’t anywhere on the table. Thankfully we knew about the deals and ordered prior to the cutoff.More infoEatery APrice: Moderate• Mediterranean• Des Moines•4.7
- SSidIowa •1 review4.0Dined on Dec 24, 2024Honestly the wait staff was great and kind, they just didn’t have many food options left and they kept bringing wrong drinks to the table. With as busy as it was and how large our party was I felt they did do a fantastic job and that aside, everything else was exceptional.More infoThe Stuffed Olive - Des MoinesPrice: Moderate• American• Des Moines•4.8
