    Build your own mimosa
    Alexandra M.

    I have been for both brunch and dinner. The brunch was a great deal, Bottomless Build-Your-Own Mimosas & 1 brunch entree for $38 or Bottomless Build-Your-Own Mimosas & Brunch Cocktails & 1 brunch entree $48. Great for a birthday brunch, girls day, or bachelorette. The truffle fries tasted great! Cocktails were a bit expensive, but tasted great. I liked the vibes better during the day.

    I made a last minute reservation pretty easily and it wasn't super busy, we came here on Sunday at 11:30 AM. We did have issues finding parking but it is street parking, not sure if there are any parking garages in the area. The reservation was made for the 1st floor but they didnt have issues moving us to the 2nd floor and it was so cute. There were string lights and good music. I ordered the Rubber Ducky cocktail which was super cute but not super tasty. We did ended up with getting the bottomless $28 cocktail/mimosa. My friend did the espresso martini but it seemed to missing something. The mimosas came with three different juices, orange, strawberry and peach, all delicious. For brunch, I ordered the Brunch Skillet which was delicious and had a very good spice kick. My friend got the 801 Breakfast Sandwich. It looked pretty good. Overall, we had a great time and they didn't rush us at all but the service was just a little slow, seemed like it was just 2 bartenders and I did wish they checked on us a little more but otherwise a good experience.

    Bottomless mimosas for $19 they give you the champagne bottle and you can make your own ratio with juice of your choice. Food was good prices and french toast was fire . Would definitely come back again!

    They are super nice. It's a cute space, and warm on this cold day They have a small downstairs and an even smaller space upstairs but they have two bars! The music was a little loud, but not too upsetting. I got the Cali Burger, it was pretty good, I ate it all.

    FOOD: I'd marry that French toast. There are no words just joy. Do you need a cocktail served in a bathtub...indeed, you do! SERVICE: Jamie was behind the bar and on tables. But he did not miss a beat and that was worth applause. When I arrived it wasn't busy but by the time I departed it was definitely lively. That didn't stop him from constantly checking in. He was kind, answered all my questions about menu modifications and even called the kitchen from the rooftop. AMBIANCE: The wrong rooftop on a rainy day could suck! But this WASN'T the wrong rooftop. A time was had by all. The mix of of folks who found their way up the 3 flights to 801's rooftop were a great time. The play list didn't hurt the vibes on bit.

    We were here to grab brunch with our friends. We did not have reservations, so we got really lucky to get a nice table for 4. Hostess was very nice. We ordered bottomless mimosas for the table. They bring various juices for your mimosa and the Prosecco was great too. For food we ordered eggs with sausage and bacon. Food is mostly American with some Mexican blended into it. Huge portions as I couldn't finish mine. It was very delicious. Price was nominal compared to other brunch places. Ambiance was great. Parking can be hard to find in this area.

    801 Smash Burger

    Food was delicious. My personal favorite were the carne asada tacos and truffle fries! The staff were so nice and friendly. We really enjoyed our meal we had to come back!

    Stopped by last night for a few drinks and some food. Great location we sat at the rooftop they have amazing views of the city. Service and food were great. Definitely will stop by again.

    My friend and I came here before a 930 club show for dinner. They had good reviews, but I didn't take a good look at their menu. It's a bit of Mexican food for dinner, along with some other food, which was wonderful. My friend and I shared the roasted cauliflower and steak fajitas. They even provided extra tortillas for us, which came out hot. Everything was phenomenal and I would definitely come back here. The ambiance was great and they even had a rooftop I'll have to check out next time. I definitely suggest this place before a show at the 930 club or other clubs in the area.

    I haven't been to many rooftop spots. I'm changing that, & this spot is one of many to come!! With that being said I went to this rooftop spot on Florida avenue In N.W. D.C. Let's go... . Where I am: @801dc . Location Reviewed: 801 Florida Ave., N.W. Washington D.C. . Menu Includes: *See Website* https://www.801dc.com/ . Items Reviewed: Their 801 Rum Punch (Coconut rum, with a house punch $12). DECENT. More rum than flavor... Their Lemon Crush Mocktails (with lemonade, & a spritzer $7). PASS. One of the drinks had something floating in it, the other, unfortunately was too bitter. Their QuesaBirria Tacos (beef birria, with chihuahua cheese, inside a blue corn tortilla with consummé $18). DELICIOUS. Cheesy, meaty, & crunchy...with the consummé...good. Their Steak Tid Bits (chopped flank steak with sautéed peppers, onions, & horseradish sauce over a bed of fries $12). DELICIOUS. The steak was a tad too tough, but its seasoning was...good. Their Lobster Mac & Cheese Balls (chopped lobster, & deep fried mac n cheese beignets with a marinara sauce $13). DECENT. I needed more flavor, & lobster. Their Pomme Frites (fries with ketchup, & house dipping sauce $8). DECENT. They were ok fries, with a tangy mayo dip. Their Strawberry Salad (with spinach, goat cheese, walnuts, & a raspberry vinaigrette $12). PASS. The vinaigrette was overpowering, & the strawberries weren't fresh. Their Chili Salmon (with chili ancho, Chile guajillo, mashed sweet potato, & a mango pico de gallo $22). PASS. The salmon was old, & extremely fishy. This combination didn't blend well. Their Chicken Al Pipian (fried chicken with pipian Rojo, spinach, & rice $18). DELICIOUS. Well fried, the Rojo was...good. . Online Navigation: Easy . Customer Service: Decent. They spoke. But it just took a while for me & my company to get served. . Parking: ROUGH!! Uber, Bus, Subway, Lyft!! . Music: YouTube-Backyard Band Pocket . Recommendations: The fries. 5 Stars=STAMP 4 1/2 Stars=LIKE THAT 4 Stars=DELICIOUS 3 Stars=DECENT 2 Stars=PASS 1 Star=NAH #Bigschlimsreviews

    This was my first time here at 801, and I must say I enjoyed myself. It wasn't busy because it was the holiday, so people probably assumed they were closed. My steak was good, just the way I like it medium rare. Scrambled with cheese, and they do charge extra for cheese. I could have had more, but it's all good. I wanted potatoes, but those fries hit the spot! The sauce on the side I poured some on my steak, which is oil and herbs. Mimosas... 3 different flavors OJ, peach, and I believe strawberry... don't quote me on that because I can't remember. It's definitely worth a visit, and all of my friends' food looked pretty good, too! Check it out!!!!

There are also some upcharges to be aware of not on the menu (like cheese in eggs), which is not all too uncommon for brunch but still something to note!

We both decided to split the Beef Bourguignon. The most tender beef you can imagine, you do not need a knife to eat, and it was accompanied with buttery goodness in the creamy potatoes and some carrots for good measure. For dessert we ordered the vanilla bean crème brûlée. French dessert at a French restaurant was a no brainer. The top of the dessert packed a crispy, sugary, slightly burnt tasting palate cleanser that definitely will keep you a pick me up, who needs an ECT shock to get the heart going when you can take a scoop of pure sugary bliss!

First off, there seemed to be only one waiter handling around 7-8 tables. Tables on both sides of us were visibly getting frustrated with how slow the service was. We came to enjoy ourselves and weren't in a rush, so we didn't mind waiting as much, but the service was noticeably slow. Interestingly, the actual dishes came out fairly quickly, but everything else--ordering, drinks, checking in, and getting things we needed--took a long time. For a restaurant at this price point, I was also expecting the overall experience and atmosphere to feel a little more elevated. It didn't really feel particularly upscale or special, and the bathrooms were noticeably dirty, which was surprising and definitely took away from the experience. Overall, the food was decent, but between the understaffed service, cleanliness, and atmosphere, I didn't feel the experience matched the price. Restaurant Week is usually a great opportunity to try a higher-end restaurant and want to come back, but unfortunately I don't think I'd return at the regular menu prices.

I visited as part of the full experience -- dinner downstairs at Birch & Barley, then up to Churchkey for drinks -- and honestly, it's one of the best evenings I've had in DC. Churchkey itself is everything a great bar should be. The beer selection is absolutely unreal -- hundreds of carefully curated labels spanning every style, region, and flavor profile you can imagine. What sets it apart is that the staff actually knows the menu. Our server walked us through a few options based on what we liked and landed us on perfect picks both times. That kind of genuine expertise is rare. The tavern pizzas from the wood-fired oven were a wonderful surprise -- thin, crispy, and the perfect companion to a cold draft. The smash burger also deserves a mention: simple, well-executed, and hits the spot. The vibe is warm and lively without being overwhelming. Great for a date, a group, or even just sitting at the bar solo with a good beer and good conversation with the bartender. This place has earned its reputation as one of the best beer bars on the East Coast -- and then some. Highly recommend making a full night of it with both floors. You won't regret it.

Perfect ambiance, the vibe is kind of a modern pub without being dark and…read moredreary, big comfortable booths, plenty of space to not feel like you're part of someone else's conversation. Honestly we were so pleasantly surprised by how good the burgers are! I had the Capital Burger which had such incredible flavor and the burger itself is thick and juicy. Despite having just had a big dinner somewhere else, as I write this, my mouth is watering. My daughter had the wild mushrooms burger and she loved it -- the aioli had the perfect tang to go with the mushroom and Swiss, both burgers were cooked perfectly medium as requested. The old fashioned was just your typical old fashioned with a slice of candied bacon attached to the outside of the glass. We were hoping for something smokier and a little different but it was still a very good Old Fashioned. We shared the chocolate mousse and it was perfection. Yum! If I lived here this would be my new regular spot.

    A rather nice restaurant, typical DC expensive, the food was good, with nice atmosphere, good…read moreservice, clocking in at about $42 before tip for a burger and milkshake. I had the blue cheese and black truffle cheeseburger, with bacon, and it was good. . Very good. I could not identify or really pinpoint where the black truffles came in, but the beef was well seasoned. The additions were a dollar too expensive across the board so I skipped those. The fries were sort of stereotypical, nothing really fancy about those. I debated about having the truffle fries, but didn't really wanna pay the extra three dollars. Bless my server, he didn't know what black truffles were, either. The Reesie's peanut butter cup Skrewball milkshake was quite good. Good use of Skrewball. Could've done with a little more alcohol, but what a great combination. Good taste. Vanilla ice cream and peanut butter all the way through. My only .. concern.. were the pickles. There's this NoVA chain restaurant that serves POPCORN before the meal, which I think has to be the most depressing, unappetizing, lazy and cheap way to start a meal. Capital Burger servers sliced sweet pickles in a jar. That.. is a step up from popcorn, but not by much... If I was in the mood for a burger and boozy milkshake, this would be on the list, but not my first choice.
