The story
801 Chophouse in Clayton, Missouri brings a refined American steakhouse experience to Carondelet Plaza, anchored by an exclusive in-house meat program centered on prime USDA beef. The kitchen's commitment to sourcing and preparation is matched by an award-winning wine program that earned the Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence — a recognition that speaks directly to the depth and curation of the cellar.
What sets 801 Chophouse apart from a typical steakhouse is what the restaurant calls its GreenCoat hospitality — a signature service philosophy that runs through every interaction. The room is designed for an upscale evening out, with valet service available daily and private dining options for those looking to host an event in style.
The menu revolves around prime USDA steaks drawn from the restaurant's own meat program, accompanied by innovative side dishes and house-made desserts. The wine list, recognized by Wine Spectator, draws from producers around the globe, making it a genuine destination for wine enthusiasts as much as for lovers of classic American steakhouse cooking. Happy hour runs Sunday through Friday from 4:00 to 6:00 PM, offering an accessible entry point into the full experience.
Situated in Clayton's Carondelet Plaza, 801 Chophouse serves dinner nightly and positions itself as one of the St. Louis area's premier steakhouse destinations — one where the quality of the beef, the breadth of the wine list, and the consistency of service all reinforce each other.
