So sad to see Bob Chinns fade. Food was expensive and terrible. Now I understand why it was near empty on a Friday night. We went often in years past but after this visit we won’t be back. Beware.

Bob Chinn's is a Chicago suburbs staple, and when you've been coming for thirty years, you're kind of chasing a memory. I get that, however, the menu is much smaller than it used to be and it was difficult to find anything with king crab that wasn't $100. I really wanted the king crab carbonara for my birthday, but even though we were there fairly early they were already out. I got the lobster roll instead, which was very plain and didn't come with any seasoning on it, even butter. My husband got the stuffed basa and that was very good. Our server was nice enough, but it was hard to find him and get his attention to refill our drinks. I might have sent the lobster roll back and gotten the stuffed basa for myself, but by the time the waiter came back, my husband and son were done eating and I didn't want to make them wait. Of the entire meal, my favorite part was the broccoli.

A bit pricey, but it was for our 48th anniversary. Not sure why Open Table asked if it was for a special occasion when it wasn't acknowledged at the restaurant.

Came here to order the copper river salmon and it was amazing. Go there before it is gone. Celebrated my dad's 90th birthday, so they brought a dessert and sang.. Thank you.
