801 Fish blew us away. The food was delectable, the atmosphere was chic and luxurious, and the service was super friendly and attentive.
Here's what we tried:
Fresh East Coast Oysters: 9/10 - Tried 6 different ones. You really can't go wrong. Super fresh and taste like the sea. Came with a wonderful mignonette.
Tuna Tartare: 7.5/10 - I loved the fact that there was spicy mayo on it, as it added flavor and kick, the only thing is that aesthetically I'm not sure the ring is the best way to plate this. I would also hope for the tuna to be a little bit more chunky rather than pasty.
Lobster Mac: 10/10 - The choice of cheese here was perfection, and the lobster chunks came through with flavor. Such a rich side, and absolutely incredible. A showstopper for sure.
Sea Bass: 9/10 - The fish was cooked to perfection, with a paper thin, crispy skin and flaky soft inside. The mushrooms and black garlic added an awesome umami while the kimchi added a vinegariness that cut through in just the right away.
Scallops: 10/10 - Melted in the mouth, tasted like butter. I just had a few bites and was still in awe. Wow.
Hazelnut Mousse: 11/10 - Somehow, the pairing of the hazelnut flavor with the hard, smooth texture was mind blowing. We LOVED it. While it was hard to cut through with a spoon, the work was worth it. The hazelnut flavor is light yet prominent, and the whipped topping is a perfect airy contrast to the denser mousse below.
Flourless Chocolate Cake: 9/10 - So rich, so chocolatey, so divine. Nearly perfect chocolate cake, and beyond fudgy. If you like chocolate, you will love this. The esspresso cream was a fun add as well.
SUPER great option for a splurge night out, when you want to be fancy and eat good.
