A word from Holy Mackerel

Holy Mackerel! combines fresh seafood, fresh cocktails and fresh design. Menus are printed daily to offer only the best and freshest seafood available--none of the fish has ever been frozen. Along with fresh fish, Holy Mackerel! features a selection of fresh cocktails made from fresh ingredients.… The interior is a fresh take on vintage design. Upon entering Holy Mackerel!, guests are greeted by a dramatic wall of water and an inviting bar. The sophisticated yet casual dining room features large-scale murals depicting vintage Chicago lakefront scenes, wood wainscoting and fully upholstered leather chairs.Continued

"I had the Bronsed Red Snapper and my girlfreind had the Stuffed Flounder. Both fish were excellent. Service was great. Place was a little quite for 7:30pm on a Saturday night, but so was Harry Carry's which is right next door."

"Restaurant was nearly empty; even for a Monday night and the restaurant closed early. Despite the fact that we felt rushed to
leave, the food was excellent and the service was also very good. The restaurant is apparently connected to Harry Caray's and
you have the option to order from the Harry Caray menu or Holy Mackrel. That is a little different by a nice choice. I will
definitely give this restaurant another try."

"We all truly enjoyed our dining experience at Holy Mackerel. It was the first visit for all 6 of us and we were pleasantly surprised at how delicious the seafood was. And, the service is excellent - very accommodating and friendly. The decor is beautiful and we had a view of the streaming water windows--lovely!"

"This was our 2nd time dining at Holy Mackerel. My wife and I enjoyed our meals very much both times. This time we each had a delicious salad, and seafood dish. My spinach salad was excellent! My wife had the grouper, and I had the pasta with shrimp and scallops for entrees. The dining room is very attractive, and our server was attentive. We like the fact that you can order off both the Holy Mackerel menu and Harry Caray's as well. The only possible drawback of the experience was the fact that halfway thru our meal a group of 10 was seated right next to us. Unfortunately, given the layout of the room, there wasn't much they could do I guess."

"The atmosphere and presentation was inviting, the service adequate. Holy Mackerel shares a kitchen with parent franchise Harry Caray's. The food was a hit and a miss. The proportions were reasonable. My dinner companion enjoyed her Sea Bass. But I was disappointed by the Blackened Swordfish. I was expecting spicy, but all I could taste was pepper, pepper, and more pepper. Holy Mackerel is reasonably priced so... I'll give it another look."

"The food was OUSTANDING! Our server was nice but seemed like he was covering two or three shifts / stations. He always walked by to tell us he'd be with us in a minute but we hadn't needed his services. Nice guy thought"
