    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.

    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!

    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.

    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/ .

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).

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 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.

    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!!!!

    Chicken Al Pipian ($18)
    Calder S.

    801 was pretty good. It has a pretty normal, crowd pleasing menu and reasonable prices. You aren't going to be wowed but you aren't going to be disappointed, either. Many of the reviews on here are for brunch, but I visited for dinner on a Saturday. It was pretty quite at ~6 PM. I sat on the first floor, which was a friendly if somewhat plain space. The menu is mostly Tex Mex and American, with dishes like tacos and burritos but also burgers and salmon. To drink, we had beer: Right Proper Raised by Wolves ($8) and Modelo ($7). Then we had the Quesabirria Tacos which had two large birria tacos with consomme ($18). And the Chicken Al Pipian, which was two pieces of fried chicken with pipian rojo, spinach, and rice. Pipian sauce was new to me -- it's a Mexican sauce made with pumpkin seeds and dried red chilies. Both entrees were solid. The pipian sauce wasn't spicy, but had a nice, slightly spiced, savory flavor. The rice reminded me of butter rice when I was a kid, which I liked. The fry on the chicken was very good, although the chicken itself could have used some more flavor, either from a brine or from some spices in the fry. The tacos were pretty standard -- beef, melted cheese, a little bit of burnt cheese flavor, and broth. Service was friendly and timely. Again, pretty good but also pretty average.

    Happy hour special

    I normally come for brunch. The service is always a 5/5. They offer bottomless espresso martinis, rum punches, and mimosas. The food is good and there's ample street parking. There's a rooftop. The happy hour is pretty good as well

Before getting to the food, I'll first rate the interior excellent. It's big and open, and has a modern yet rustic design, which makes it an excellent atmosphere. They had an impressive list of wines and cocktails, but the draft beer selection was limited. Could use a bit more variety on tap, but I enjoyed the Imperial IPA nonetheless. As for the food; all of it was on the pricey sized given the quality and quantity served, but the salmon collar was by far my favorite -- followed by the chicken, although the chicken was a bit less meaty than I expected. The gem salad, the carrots and the steak fries were all very "meh," and the bisques seemed like small ciabatta buns rather than actual biscuits. All that aside, the biggest disappointment was unfortunately the ax ribeye - it wasn't cooked properly (despite asking for med-rate, depending on the bite, it ranged from medium to very rare), and it was really stringy and fatty - a major disappointment for a steakhouse. Deserts were delicious, I really enjoyed the ice cream cake and thought the peanut butter pie was good. Service was great, prompt and friendly. So I definitely wouldn't recommend this place as a statehouse based on my experience, but would consider coming for the salmon.

Now the ultimate reason for the rating is because they charged us an automatic 5% service fee and we weren't aware of that. We didn't see it posted or written on the menu and then they want us to pay tax and tip on top of that. It's too much. Which also makes me expect stellar service from the staff. No hiccups, no mistakes, no I'm sorry buts, just great service because I have to pay for it! It is not the responsibility of the customers to pay your staff's wages. So the no pumpkin spice anything from the menu and the service fee just blew me but my food was good so I had to give them that.

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.
