801 Chophouse - Tysons Corner

First time trying 801. Overall a great experience. The decor was very distinguished, clean and staff alert and friendly. We got a picture of Jerry (the bull statue in the middle of the dining room); he looked magnificent with his floral arrangement around his neck lol!Our waiter was friendly and provided guidance when we asked the difference between wet aged and dry aged. He brought out fresh bread loaves with butter.We ordered the calamari to start....the strips were thick cuts but very tender and topped with fried zucchini strings. We really enjoyed it.We decided on a prime rib, a wet aged ribeye and a dry aged ribeye with a la carte sides of roasted mushrooms, lobster Mac and cheese and the hash browns.All three steaks were cooked perfectly and there is a definite taste difference between the two ribeyes, both fantastic unique flavors. Sides were delicious, IMO though, we enjoyed the lobster Mac and wild mushrooms from Capital Grille better. Why? Because the cheeses was very mild and thought it could have used a more nuttier cheese and the mushrooms were all cut in strips except the button mushrooms which I felt they could've just left those out. The hash brown was different and had a nice crunch with the chunky bacon and melted cheese! We were stuffed but decided to share a caramel apple upside down cake. In my mind I picture chunks of apple on top of cake drizzled with caramel....instead it was a layer of gelatinous apple purée which was pretty tart and not very appealing IMO. Not everything needs to be transformed to something more fancy...sometimes sticky to basics is all it takes lol. I did tell our waiter it wasn't what we hoped it to be when he asked. He actually comped it and gave us a couple chocolate chip cookies to go instead! We didn't expect that at all since we did eat it lol but it was definitely appreciated!Again overall a great experience if you've never been!

The atmosphere and decor is very nice. The service was exceptional and the food was delicious. Valet's were very nice as well. My only critique would be to get rid of the giant neon sign on the side of the kitchen. Cheapens the look a bit.We got a NY strip, petite filet, Mac and cheese, wedge salad, and chocolate soufflé. All were delicious, no complaints.

Our server was excellent....HOWEVER, our lunch was not! My husband's pasta special with the Bolognese had very greasy meat sauce and hardly any noodles. I had the Tennessee chicken sandwich. The chicken was paper thin, overcooked and tough, and over seasoned. I chewed on half of it and left the other half. My son in law had added chicken to his salad and had to send it back because it was dry and overcooked.The server was kind enough to send us home with delicious complimentary cookies. Sadly we will not be back.

Food was phenomenal!! I would say easily one of the top steakhouses in the area. Everything was great, ambience, service, speed, and food quality. A bit on the pricier side but you clearly get what you pay for in this place. Got the wet aged bone in filet special and dry aged rib eye (along with some sides.). Chocolate soufflé for dessert is huge and the real deal!!

Alexa Play Magic by Coldplay I wanted to come try this place with my better half but catching up with an old friend of twenty years plus, had me here in VA trying 801 Chophouse without my heartbeat. We dined at the bar like old bar buddies. Old Friends and dinner means the bar option. Let's start off with ambiance, beautiful restaurant. Even dining at the bar was elegant. Service, impeccable! The manager made sure to greet us, ask how dinner was going several times. Staff were super attentive. Let's get into it! House Wedge - PERFECT Crab cake - One of the best I've hadPetit Filet - GreatGreen beans - GoodHash browns with Cheese- Okay Overall, this place is great, I'm definitely returning with my foodie partner in crime but we'll do the romantic way and get a booth, share food, and take pictures like the foodies we are. Price is at Fine Dining price point but worth it! Meal for two $380 with gratuity. Good to Note: Parking is free! Valet service at that! Classy classy! My type of restaurant! MagicalFor Sure! Only reason it's 4 stars is because food needed salt on a few items. Really I'd give them a 4.5!!!!

I've been to many steakhouses and this has to be up there with the Peter Lugers and Hawksmoores of the world. Came here on a Saturday night and was greeted by a very kind hostess and was served by a VERY knowledgeable gentleman named Grant. He gave recommendations that were honest, and man he was spot on about everything. The steak cut presentation was very useful in figuring out what to order. I went with the lobster bisque, steamed mussels and Dry Aged Ribeye which were all amazing. Grant recommended Guinness drawn butter that paired PERFECTLY with the side of mashed potatoes and steak. Didn't have dessert, but I'm sure that also would have been delicious because nothing that I ordered missed. Would give the staff, service and food six stars if I could. The ambience was great too. More on the quieter side compared to a Capital Grill or other places in the area. Not that loud places is a deal breaker but it's definitely easier to have conversations over dinner. Large bar selection and they offer some very good quality and variety. Definitely going back. Parking: Free validated parking

Plenty of parking and easy to access off of toll road and Rt.7. It was Sunday evening with a 4:30 reservation. We just about had to place to ourselves. The food was insanely good, calamari was divine! Entries included pan roasted seafood (shrimp, king crab, lobster tail, scallops, mussels) it was so damn good! My friend had a hefty filet with a succulent sauce that included crab meat (oscar). We shared a 1 lb loaded baked potato and broccolini. We finished up with dessert (apple dish and sorbet trio) and finally coffee. The service was superb and attentive! I'll be back!

It was our anniversary and we decided to tryout the new steakhouse in McLean. Everything everything everything was phenomenal!!!Grant was our waiter and this guy was spot on, he was so helpful, educational, good sense of humor!! 5 star for Grant!!! We will definitely come back and thank you for a wonderful night!

Excellent service, delicious food, and surprisingly reasonable prices for the meal we got. Grant was a great waiter and the meat presentation was a fun touch. For sure going back!

For the astronomical prices, the food was absolutely mediocre. Fois gras was not cooked right. Steaks were not cooked to order. Calamari was weird. Shrimp cocktail could have come straight from Costco. Bearnaise sauce was awful. On the other hand, service was AMAZING! Our server Grant??? (the one with the astoundingly beautiful singing voice as he sang happy birthday to my brother) was the best I've ever had. Bravo! That young man needs a raise. So tactful, so perceptive, so attentive, so absolutely professional. The restaurant itself is beautiful. However, I can't fairly comment on the ambience because we were a large group in a private room with children!!! I would definitely like to visit the restaurant with a smaller group.
