One of the premier steakhouses in the St. Louis area. From the moment you walk in, you know you're in for an exceptional dining experience. Their in-house butchering program sets them apart, offering exclusive cuts and an impressive selection of Wagyu that consistently exceeds expectations. Beyond the steaks, the seafood program is equally outstanding with oysters, fresh fish, and cold-water selections are always impeccably sourced and expertly prepared. The wine list is one of the most robust and thoughtfully curated in St. Louis, making it effortless to find the perfect pairing for any entrée. The staff at 801 Chophouse elevate the entire experience; they are knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely compassionate in the way they care for their guests. I've used their large private dining rooms many times for business meetings and private events, and the service has always been flawless. Whether it's an intimate dinner, a client meeting, or a special celebration, the team at 801 handles every detail with precision.

I've been to the Chophouse in Clayton several times and it's yet to disappoint me. Their steaks are excellent and the desserts are delicious. Great service and ambience for just right for a special night out. The family members with me on this night had never been before and they were gushing. All three of the loved their meals. Our sides were great too. My wife had the Ahi Tuna and it was top tier for sure. It's an expensive meal but the experience is well worth it for special occasions. Steak lovers should check off the box on this place for sure.

Alright first time here and I thought it was pretty good and not so good. The inside was very nice and spacious. The bar area was really nice. Got a couple drinks for happy hour and they tasted really good. Once we got to the table the waiter was really nice and informative of the menu and different steaks. I do want to say this places is expensive for what you get. For apps we got the fried lobster and these were so amazing but costed $95. They were crunchy, had lots of flavor and really good. Also got the down home shrimp. They were basically $8 per shrimp which they were good. Mains - ceaser salad was good but didn't really like the Parmesan thing. The filet melon had nice flavor however I ordered it as a medium but it came out as medium rare and it definitely turned me off. The dessert was okay as well

801 Chophouse truly made my birthday feel special and personal. When you walk into the restaurant the greeters show that they're happy to see you and kindly get you seated immediately. For this day we had a reservation so they knew it was a birthday celebration. They gave us a special menu that had a "Happy Birthday" on the top. This little touch goes a long way. The waiter was one of the best waiters I've had in my life 10/10. He helped detail the menu and explained to us all about the specific dishes and where their meat came from. He helped us pick certain dishes that he recommended as his favorites and was one of the kindest workers we've ever came across. The atmosphere here was perfect for an intimate dinner experience with my loved one. The lighting was a dim setting, the seating was comfortable and spacey. While looking around the art work gave a fun touch to the restaurant. The bathrooms here were gorgeous as well. The steaks here were absolutely delicious, and juicy. We tried the oysters here and they were amazing! We got the Rockefeller oysters, some of the best oysters I've had! They finished my experience off with a fun birthday touch. I was given a dessert of choice, they customize it to say happy birthday and gave me a candle to blow out. 801 Chophouse was the best birthday dinner I've had in awhile.

The food...the service...the patio!! I love a good happy hour!! And 801 never disappoints! You can eat like a emperor (I'm assuming that's a lot and good! lol). I had the grilled oysters, filet sliders and a large Cesar salad for less than $50!!!

We were in town for a special occasion this week so we took a small group here on Sunday evening. Since we were more than 4 people we got a nice table in a private room. It was really very nice. My prime rib was excellent. It came as part of a Sunday special deal and was noted on the menu as a 12-oz cut. And it was a very generous 12-oz I will say. In fact, it seemed everyone was happy. Wifey had the lamb chops and was ecstatic. Other choices around the table included halibut, salmon, and a fillet mignon. I had to laugh at their mistakes. I asked for the balsamic vinaigrette on my salad but it came out with Italian dressing. But it was pretty good Italian. Then, when the meat came out with the asparagus and not the green beans, well, the grilled asparagus was just so good too. Three scoops of sorbet for dessert (I couldn't eat it all) and some coffee was a perfect end to the meal.

This is probably the best steakhouse I've been to. Mind you, the special steaks (like waygu) are priced like you are in one of the best steakhouses. But the regular steaks are reasonable for a higher end place. I had the regular new York strip -- there was a waygu version that cost 3x, but I went for the regular. It's was quite excellent. The steaks come with no sides -- you must order them separately and the portions are large enough for about 4 people to share. Some of the appetizers were superb -- particularly the lamb lollipops. They didn't always appear on the menu so you might need to ask. Several of us considered just ordering a few of these instead of the regular menu offerings because they are so good. I found the lobster tail appetizer a bit over-breaded -- enough so that you couldn't really make out the flavor of the lobster ... It could have been chicken for all I could tell -- this is the one dish I thought was poorly conceived. If the lobster is good, why would you cover up the delicate flavor with all this breading and salt? Service was great and the wine selection was very good.

Normally I avoid chains like people avoid eye contact in NYC, but sometimes I need my vitamins aka oysters and a nice and vibing restaurant to do a little work. This is a beautiful spot. I slurped down 1/2 dozen and I felt reborn. Might be a steakhouse but I came for the mollusks. Chain rule temporarily suspended. Shhhhh. Don't tell anyone.

First time went there and everything was great. Food taste delicious and the service was excellent!

Nice special occasion steakhouse in downtown Clayton! They have the best oysters rockefeller appetizer. We also liked the bone marrow & tuna tartare apps. The steak was very tasty with the bone marrow butter topping, and they gave us a special birthday dessert - the Grand Marnier souffle is delicious! It was really busy, so service was a bit slow about 4 hours, but we got a lot of food and the restaurant was very full.

My boyfriend and I went here tonight to celebrate my boyfriend birthday. We got both oysters and bone marrow for appetizer. For our drinks, we got 1 bottle of heritage blend wine. From our entrees, we got the New York strip and ribeye, both cooked medium rare. Tip for our next visit: will ask for light on the salt for our steaks. It was cooked perfectly. We also ordered spinach and loaded potato sides. For dessert, we got the carrot cake. We definitely over order for the two of us. The service was great. Everything came out fast and efficient. It was a great experience overall.

Went to Clayton Restaurant week for the second year in a row and it was fabulous! We sat at the bar and ordered a drink since we were extremely early for our reservation. The espresso martini was huge, they do not skimp on the alcohol! My friend and I both had the 6oz filet medium and they were cooked to perfection and so tender. Parking is the only downfall. I spent what felt like forever looking for a spot and luckily found one in a random lot

Yes, reservations are…read moreannoying, but if you stay up until midnight before the first of the month and have multiple days and times in mind, it should be doable. The restaurant felt very upscale - service was extremely attentive and fantastic. We ordered the following and did a lot of sharing: shrimp cocktail, crab cake, Caesar salad, halibut, French dip, and steak frites. Everything was fantastic. My personal favorite was the crab cake - I've never gotten so much crab meat in one before and the sauce was incredible! Caesar salad was good too. The steak to fry ratio on the steak frites was a bit off (steak was fairly small) but I appreciated that they don't skimp on sides at all! The French dip was the most meat I've ever had in one. Sadly, we were not able to save room for dessert, but I cannot wait to go back! Worth every penny, absolutely.

There's something about a place in Clayton insisting: don't call me a wine bar, I'm a wine dive…read more Okay. We see you. You're a wine bar. Nothing divey about a hip cocktail or hip deviled eggs -- these are sophisticated modern twists, the exact move wine bars make and dives don't. A chalkboard of specials and weathered seating gesture at the aesthetic; the rest of the room knows. Kendall Roy of restaurants -- comes from privilege, wants badly to be of the people. It's a bit, and mostly the kitchen and bar back it up. Nevertheless, we arrived to a full room, hour wait for a table, but we fortunately arrived to snag the last first come patio table. The bar was also full, by the way, which felt neighborhood like, people clearly like this place during happy hour. The old fashioned makes the case: Old Grand-Dad Bonded, pickled rye, cognac, butterscotch bitters. Two whiskeys and a bitter you won't find at an actual dive. Rich, a little sweet. The harissa deviled eggs keep going -- fried shallots, roasted red peppers, cilantro, marinated tomato jam. You know, just like the old dive with the $1 PBR.Deviled eggs for people that don't like deviled eggs. However, we love deviled eggs...foreshadowing. The short ribs are the headline -- fall-apart tender over whipped potatoes substantial enough to stand up to the meat, gravy spot on. Eats like a perfectly executed roast dinner. The brie burger is the sneaky second hit, genuinely decadent, bacon with the cheese melting into the beef. The service was good and pleasant and that felt more like dive-friendly, where you might expect a wine "bar" to be snooty or full of themselves. 4.4 Stars Picking Nits: hip deviled eggs that reach past what they can hold. Tomato jelly on top is a lot going on, in the wrong way, and the egg disappears under it. These are trying to be hip deviled eggs more than they're trying to be good deviled eggs. Every ambitious kitchen has one plate that tries too hard; this appears to be one. A 5 needs those eggs landing, in the same way the entrees excelled. Regardless, we'll be back.

The Best Dining Experience We've Had in St. Louis - Hands Down…read moreMy husband and I wanted to give our dear friends who are leaving St. Louis one last unforgettable meal from their bucket list, so I immediately recommended Peno. I used to be a regular at Rosé with the same talented Chef Pepe, and his food is truly to die for. We walked in on a beautiful day and were lucky to snag a spot in their small parking lot (parking in the area isn't the easiest, but it's worth it). Our server, Harry, made the evening even better right from the start. He had such a warm, calm, professional presence--the kind that's rare these days. We instantly remembered his name thanks to a fun Harry Potter / Harry and the Hendersons reference, and he handled everything with effortless skill. When our friends had parking trouble, Harry quickly offered helpful suggestions. Then, when it was time to order, he elevated our meal in the best way possible. My husband and I got our longtime favorite--the Roberto pizza from Rosé days--and Harry suggested adding sausage and peppers. That small tweak took something we already loved and made it 1000% better. Absolute perfection. Our friend ordered the spaghetti (her all-time favorite comfort meal), and after taking Harry's thoughtful recommendation, she declared it the best spaghetti she's ever had in her life. We finished with the cheesecake. I'm extremely picky about cheesecake, but this one did not disappoint--it was creamy, rich, and flawless. This was one of those legendary meals you remember forever. The kind where you leave thinking you could die happy. Chef Pepe's food, paired with Harry's outstanding service, made it a perfect night. If you're in St. Louis, do yourself a favor and go to Peno. You won't regret it. Thank you, Harry and team--you helped create a truly special send-off for our friends!
