We stopped in for a meal before going to the Orpheum. We were quickly seated and our server also greeted us quickly. We had the Salmon Entree and the Broiled Oysters appetizer. Both were very good. We've been here before and will go again.

801 never disappoints as an overall experience. If I had to pick on one thing that was slightly sub-par, it was that their signature Troon martini missed the mark this time. With that said, sitting the 12-15 times we have dined here, it was perfectly done in the past. Every other part of our meal was fantastic, as usual!
