    Originally went for soft-shell crab (currently in season), but they were out (hadn't gotten a shipment in a week). I chose the Steak (filet) Oscar which was very good (a little salty). Others in the party had Walleye and Stuffed Shrimp, both of which were also very good. I would definitely recommend Shaw's as the food is always good.

    We had a wonderful meal. Not very much crab on the menu, but we were satisfied. Oysters on the half shell, seafood linguine, seafood salad, two desserts. The margaritas were so good I had two.

    The food had no flavor. Spent $300 and had very mediocre food. The crab was bland and the steak was just ok. The service was very good though.

    We usually eat in the bar which is kind of fun, a different vibe altogether. But the dining room was nice, hadn't been in there in a while. Our server was outstanding and sides and salad also very good. Our walleye was overcooked, fish and chips average at best, and the au gratin potatoes which they're really famous for were almost raw and almost cold at the same time. Nonetheless we had a good time with good friends. Maybe just an off night.

    Shaws is our go to place for our anniversary. We’ve never had a bad experience. This time the service and food were great but found out they add a 3% service fee to the bill. Never understand this. Just include all costs in your pricing. Disappointed a fine venue like Shaws can’t figure a better approach.

    Great food, great ambience, and the service is always outstanding. It is slightly expensive, but it’s worth it.
