   Received a $100 dollar reward for wine offer. Great food, Lillian was friendly and knowledgeable. We both ordered the filets withe 2 sides included. Ordered another side order of risotto per Lillian’s recommendation. Good value for around $140 + free $100 for wine. Every time we come here, we ask ourselves why we don’t come more frequently.

   Today our table was taken care of by Taylor! We love Taylor and always have great service with her! We love the environment at 801, so we took my grandma to brunch there today, and she has never been. As always, it was a nice, quiet brunch with great service. We'll definitely be back, and we'll ask for Taylor! The food was amazing, too. We ordered chicken and waffles, donuts (the accompanying dips and jams are to die for), bananas foster waffles, and the 801 breakfast. All of it tasted great.

   Shrimp Louis is fab. Service was very good but slow as I think he had too many tables. Very noisy environment.

   This was our third or fourth time here, and we brought friends with us this time. The food was great as usual, and our server was delightful. We ordered the duck potstickers and the baked brie as appetizers for the table. Both were delicious and disappeared quickly. We forgot to order the excellent parker house rolls, but tried a couple of the creative mixed drinks and enjoyed both. Three of us had the ravioli, which were exceptional. A different three of us had the lobster bisque, which was also excellent. One of us did well to order the pork fried rice, which, hiding among the side dishes, is the sleeper of the menu. Unfortunately, the noise level was extreme, and had us shouting and repeating ourselves all evening. In the past, we had come here on Sunday evenings. This time we figured, "who goes out on Tuesday night?" Turns out, everybody does. We had seen other reviews that complained about the noise, but thought, "that's not our experience." Now it is. In addition to the noise, the light over our booth was so dim that we had difficulty reading the menu. We broke out the cell phones as a workaround, but c'mon—with a noise level like the trading pit at the NYSE, dim lighting isn't going to make it romantic.

   Food was underwhelming. Chicken piccata had no flavor at all. Steak was not much better.

   Delicious food. Fast, courteous service. The environment is lovely. Prices are a little higher than they should be for the menu.

   We came at 5 pm to make another activity after dinner. They sat us at the first booth. With sun blaring through the blinds and right next to bar noise. It is so loud. And so uncomfortable with one side of booth with sun in eyes for 20+ minutes. We even said something twice. With no offer to move us. We had reservations and many other tables away from blinds and bar noise open.

    We had a reservation and were seated in the bar area. First server was inattentive and then we saw her leave the restaurant. Bartender was even less attentive, had to ask for basics like water and chopsticks with dinner. Felt like the priority was getting customers out the door fast vs a quality dining experience. Bartender did not say thank you when dropped off the bill or when we left. We have eaten here many times and the service level has gone downhill over time. Too many other nice restaurant options here to come back again! Loud in general, wife’s favorite dish is now only served at lunch? Next. The positive was the food served was very good.
