Service 🙋♂️
Hailey, our server, made our anniversary dinner unforgettable. Her attention to detail, warm demeanor, and impeccable timing took the service to a new level. She made us feel special throughout the night, from perfectly pacing the dishes to her thorough knowledge of the menu. It’s clear she goes above and beyond, making what would be fantastic service on any regular day, even more extraordinary for a special occasion. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Decor 🎨
The decor at 801 Fish surprised me with its understated elegance. Given the restaurant’s reputation and price point, I expected something more extravagant, but it works in its favor. The maritime feel is subtle and classy, not overdone with nautical themes. The natural light during the day may have softened the ambiance, but even then, the restaurant’s beauty shines through. I can imagine the atmosphere taking on a magical quality once the sun goes down and the lighting takes over. 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Food 🍽️
I’ve never been one to gravitate toward fish, but 801 Fish may have changed that for me. We started with the Spanish Octopus—delicious and perfectly balanced with pickled onions (my favorite)—and the Flash Fried Brussels Sprouts, which were hands down some of the best I’ve ever had. For our entrees, I had the Alaskan Halibut, while my girlfriend opted for the Grilled Swordfish. I’ll admit, her dish was the winner! Both were expertly cooked, but her swordfish was on another level. The meal was so good it’s got me rethinking my usual preferences for poultry and red meat. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
In Retrospect 🤔
Reflecting on our night, 801 Fish has set the bar high for fine dining in St. Louis. From the top-notch service to the perfectly prepared dishes, this restaurant delivered an unforgettable experience. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just want a fantastic meal, I highly recommend 801 Fish. It’s now officially my favorite spot in the city.
