"While the restaurant is quite nice and definitely intended to be a romantic and high class dining experience, the food was not as god as it was during my previous visit several months ago. We sat in the bar area this time and the service was very inconsistent even though we had three different people serving our table. My first visit was in the dining room and that one server did a fantastic job. This time, the two bar tenders and a third who appeared to be a manager, were not coordinating very well and just seemed to not be on the same page. Everyone was very friendly and upbeat though."

"Impressive! Nice! Elegant! Impressed with salads and entrees. Not so much the sides probably would skip the sides next time and try the dessert menu. The meat presentation was a bit lengthy. Been to other steak houses and they didn't take as lomg as our waiter did. Don't get me wrong out waiter did a great job but it got to the point like when you read a book and realize you lost interest somewhere and have mo idea what you just read .... yeah it was like that. Everything else was great."

"Everything was so good. Up scale dining, knowledgeable employees, and excellent food.
Probably the best scallops and prime rib I've ever had!!! I wish everyone I knew could come here at least once and try it, I promise you will not be disappointed.
Chocolate cake, get it, if you have enough room :)"

"I had a rib eye and my spouse had a fillet. They were both tough, not what you would expect for an up scale restaurant and Prime beef. It tasted more like Choice beef."

"The food there was absolutely amazing. The server we had was fantastic and her recommendations were spot on. The food is expensive but you can split it between two or more people."

"The service was excellent. The prices are definitely on the high end. The Brussel sprouts were excellent but I thought that my steak was tough and a big disappointment."

"When I made our reservation thru open table, I noted our anniversary celebration. The restaurant added a special touch when the dessert they served us was decorated with a "Happy Anniversary" message scrolled across the plate. Very nice touch!"

"We celebrated our anniversary at the 801. From start to finish it was a fantastic expirience. The food was terrific. The service, thanks Erin, was perfect. A true 10 on a 10. The whole staff from the manager to the chef made the night special. It is our "special occasion" place from now on."

"Saturday evening at 6:30 we are expecting this place to be hopping or at least the bar to convey a "destination place"; alas this was not the case, even if was the Memorial Day weekend. Except for the sommelier, the dining room service was gracious and sufficiently knowledgeable. The sommelier appeared annoyed to entertain questions, which for bottles running to $1200, probably is an unfortunate attitude to convey. The veal with the Tuscan preparation was outstanding. Also recommended are the mushrooms topped with Boursin cheese. The food and service compete with many other offerings in the Leawood/Overland Park areas."

"Service and Food were excellent. We were given a private dining area and made the experience that much better! Our wait staff went out of their way to take care of us and even taking the children's needs as important as well!"

"To start off the food is wonderful, the wine list is one of the best in Kansas, and the service is top notch... Having said that, the interior annoys me. I was born and raised in steak houses in downtown if and the plaza, places that have been around since Kansas city was founded practically... This place has tried desperately to mimic that style, and in the middle of a shopping center that is only a few years old, it feels fake. I wish they'd been unique and not just tried to copy everyone else."

"I met a small group here for a business dinner out. It was definitely top notch and more than I expected in quality and atmosphere. It was a little darker than I liked in a restaurant but the quality of service was higher than expectations and definitely was impressive to my clients."

"Great food. Good selection of steaks, limited seafood for main entres. Pretty open area for tables but some booths and tables can be quiter. The bar is nice with a wide selection of liquor. Fairly expensive place, more so than Sullivan's"

"The main problem with 801 Chophouse is that it already exists in another name. Ruth Chris....
My wife and I split a salad, Each had the 8oz filet mignon, We split the wild mushrooms and maytag potatoes, We also, each took home a dessert. And my wife had 2 glasses of house wine....
Out the door: $200.00
Now don't get me wrong, the food was GOOD, not wonderful but VERY GOOD. The service was incredible, although the restaurant was EMPTY on a Saturday night.
The thing that kills 801 for us was the price. I will pay for quality, I will pay for ambiance, atmosphere, unique foods prepared by knows chefs. Best I can tell, 801 looks like someone went to Ft. Worth, copied a menu or two and doubled the prices."

"Food was not great, especially for the price. Lobster was dry, as was the filet. Service was great, but there was only about 5% of the tables occupied at dinner time on a Saturday night!"

"After visiting and loving 801 Chophouse in Kansas City, we thought we'd give the Leawood location a try. Our server was outstanding. She was knowledgable about the menu and provided outstanding recommendations. Not being a big steak person myself, I initially considered ordering the salmon. After inquiring about my meat preferences, our server suggested Chilean sea bass instead. It was out of this world! Hands down the best fish dish I have ever had. My fiancé chose Delmonico steak, as his KC 801 experience with this cut had been amazing. He enjoyed the steak, but commented that the outer, thinner edge was more charred than he would have enjoyed, but overall, we has a great experience!"

"I had hoped for more here. Steaks were good, but not worth the price. Ambience is contrived. This is a chain steakhouse pretending to be something special."

"We were there the night before Valentine's Day. We had a great time, but the dining room wasn't very busy. I've been there when it's crowded and the buzz and activity add to the ambiance. That is the only quasi-negative thing I can say! The food & service was extraordinary. Always a consistent experience."

"Excellent experience. The night we went was our Valentine's celebration. We were seated in the wine room - very nice. We were running a tad late and called to let them know and they were completely gracious about it. When we arrived the maitre d' seated us and was fun and not upset with us at all. Our waiter was fabulous - attentive without hovering. It was an expensive night, but we will go back again and again!"
