The story
On Nicollet Mall in the heart of Minneapolis, 801 Chophouse delivers what it calls an "iconic steakhouse experience" — and the accolades back that up. Wine Spectator recognized the restaurant with its Best of Award of Excellence, a distinction that reflects the depth and curation of a wine program spanning producers from around the globe.
At the core of 801 Chophouse is an exclusive in-house meat program centered on prime USDA beef. The kitchen pairs those steaks with innovative side dishes and house-made desserts, keeping the American steakhouse tradition intact while pushing it forward. The result is an upscale dining room that takes its sourcing seriously without losing sight of the pleasure of a great meal.
What distinguishes 801 Chophouse from a standard steakhouse is its signature GreenCoat hospitality — a house philosophy of service that runs through every location in the group. In Minneapolis, that translates to an atmosphere that feels formal enough for a celebration but not so stiff that a weeknight dinner feels out of place. Valet service is available daily, and a happy hour Monday through Friday from 4 to 6 p.m. makes the bar an easy stop before the full dining room experience.
For groups, 801 Chophouse Minneapolis offers dedicated private dining arrangements, making it a go-to for corporate events and special occasions in the city. The combination of a serious American steakhouse kitchen, a Wine Spectator–awarded cellar, and attentive service gives private events here a reliable foundation.
