Without steak, most Americans wouldn’t be able to justify owning such terrifyingly sharp steak knives, much less an entire rack of steak guns. Today's Groupon gives you a chance to use them: for $40, you get $80 worth of steakhouse fare and drinks at 801 Chophouse at the Paxton, located in the Old Market district.
A den of classic decadence, 801 Chophouse serves up the gastronomic soul mates of surf and turf paired with single-malt scotches and fine wines. The menu’s edible expeditions begin with pancetta-wrapped scallops bundled up in a roasted-red-pepper glaze ($13.95) and the chop salad ($8.95), a palate-cleansing concoction tossed with myriad veggies––including carrots, red onion, radishes, asparagus, and avocado showered in green-goddess dressing. The 12-ounce filet mignon ($41.95), flavored with a dab of béarnaise sauce, packs enough bicep-building protein to help patrons hoist a decorative anchor into a tree-house apartment. Peruse the seafood selections, including the live Maine lobster ($27.95/lb.), which is bloated with crab-meat stuffing, and the grilled Scottish salmon ($25.95), which is cloaked in a cranberry-port reduction served on a plaid platter with sweet-potato hash. The chophouse dishes up a parade of sides, including sautéed french green beans, caramelized baby carrots ($9.85 each), sautéed crimini mushrooms, and blue-cheese potatoes ($8.95 each). The signature dessert, the Grand Marnier soufflé, satiates sweet fangs with chocolate, strawberry, and crème anglaise.
Patrons can sip on an 801 Special martini—concocted with a blend of Ketel One vodka and Bombay Sapphire accented by blue-cheese-stuffed olives—as they take in the chophouse’s 1920s steakhouse décor. The sumptuous cherry-wood furnishings, white tablecloths, and high ceilings accented with dramatic lights make it the perfect spot for a romantic dinner or reprieve from your overworked oven and passive-aggressive microwave.

Celebrate with 801 Chophouse's 9th annual summer Groupon. Known for their big USDA prime steaks and big wine, 801 Chophouse establishes itself as a special-occasion restaurant.

On any given night, the wait staff moves across wooden floors beneath high ceilings and 1920s-inspired decor, trays loaded with nine creative potato preparations, filet mignon, and dry-aged pork chops. Meanwhile, the cattle of a pastoral mural gaze out over the dining room's cherry-wood finishes, waiting patiently to graze on uneaten garnishes.
