Our visit to 801 Chophouse on Monday the 23rd of December was absolutely fantastic. From the moment we were greeted at the front desk to saying our goodbyes as we picked up our coats the experience was one of joy and delight. The staff was great. The quiet tone in the restaurant was inviting/comforting. The drinks hit the spot, including the Penicillin cocktail, which isn’t a “typical” beverage but was spot on. Our food was amazing and the steaks are some of the best we’ve ever had anywhere. We look forward to our next visit. Thank you to the staff of 801 – Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

All I did was add the “birthday” option to our reservation on Open Table and Oceanaire did not disappoint. From the moment we checked in at the host station, throughout the meal (the menus had “Happy Birthday” printed on them) to the Baked Alaska dessert, we were wished the happiest of birthdays and thoughtfully cared for by the staff.
