Best Authentic Restaurants in Stapleton

Truly spectacular, as always. I’ve been to Frisco, Ruth Chris’, Flemmings, and non chain steakhouses and 801 is superior in every way, from the service (complimentary valet and coat check), pacing, friendly formality, and most of all the salads, steaks, and desserts. (For seafood, stick to the lobster or pan roast). Full bar is excellent- order whatever you want, not just what’s listed on the menu. My only criticism is that I much prefer booths, and lots of the restaurant is tables. Don’t be afraid to order the “cheap” steaks- they are the best I’ve ever had (I prefer the strip).

Exceptional restaurant. Service at all levels was outstanding. Ambiance was superb - welcoming feeling, tables nicely spaced, noise level tuned to just right, lighting excellent. Menu was nicely limited with an excellent range of foods for every course. Wine list almost intimidating, but there were good choices at all price levels. We enjoyed a nice Super Tuscan. The food was superb, with every item on the plate prepared beautifully and presented with care. This is a special place.

Man, such deep flavors! We had the ceviche - so unique with a coconut cream base topped with cilantro and chile oils, the Tamal Oaxaqueno, the Hoja de Santo wrapped queso, and the pork belly. Everything was prepared excellently and each sauce and flavor palette interesting, complex and delightful! The fresh Tamal and tortillas were light and delicious!! Also, our server, Sara, was fun, attentive and informative. Can’t wait to go back and try more dishes, as they are all unique and beg to be tasted!

We had great communication before our reservation and was able to bump up our time a smidge on Christmas Eve, after a short wait at the bar once we arrived. The service was impeccable. We were only disappointed that they had run out of the one dessert we were dying to try. The apple éclair was a nice consolation. We definitely plan to go back as we just learned they have a "movie night special" that caught our attention.

The restaurant was busy and we had a rezo for 4 people but at the last minute it was just 2 of us. The hostess sat us at a lovely 4 top, rather than a small 2 top. It started the evening off great. Our server was excellent as was the food and drink!
