I had the Gumbolaya, pork chop with the largest asparagus stalks I've ever seen, and ended with key lime pie. Every bite was delicious. The pork chop and asparagus were cooked to perfection.

Nice ambience, in fact this is a real plus, We had the grilled prawns, oysters, grilled asparagus, Wasabi garlic mashed potatoes and New England Clam Chowder. The food was excellent. Even so, I thought it was overpriced. Service was disappointing. My impression is this person (Natalie) was trying but never asked how we were doing as diners and if we needed anything. The other wait staff was just as busy in my opinion and they were good at checking in with the guests.

I was one of the first people there. I had a reservation for one at the bar. I come here quite often and joke that it’s my “Cheers”. It got busy quickly and the staff was not prepared - I am presuming due to restaurant week. The bartender was amazing but so many people who didn’t have reservations were sent to the bar and were ordering drinks and dinner. Kitchen was super slow and my salmon came out over cooked but didn’t look like it ever touched a grill. I sent it back and they brought out the SAME apiece of salmon, piping hot, as if it had been microwaved. I obviously sent it back and the gentleman (guessing owner/manager) said oh, you wanted grilled with grill marks and I said yes, like it has been the last 2times I ordered. He did discount my meal but by that time I was over it - such a shame, compromising quality due to being underprepared for the rush….worst experience yet at one of my favorite places

Restaurant week, $59 per person. Upcharge for any vegetables with ala carte entree and upcharge for water choice. $17 for an old fashion, $26 for vegetables. The soup and pork chop and 7 oz lobster tail were delicious. The drink was small and the key lime pie was gritty, like it wasn't mixed well enough. Total $240 for 2 with mandatory 20% tip they added to the bill. Not worth it and this was my second attempt at the oyster house...I'm sorry, I'm not returning.

They have a 20% surcharge, which we asked our waitress about. She told us they had that before Covid and could not be taken off. She didn’t mention that actually it does go to the servers as well as other employees. When we got the bill it showed whether or not we wanted to give an additional tip beyond the surcharge. That’s when we found out that the staff shares the surcharge. If we had known that from the beginning it would have been a much more enjoyable experience. Our server was very vague about how much the staff really gets from the surcharge. Food was great, the server was great, overall a good experience.

The ambiance was was very nice for a much needed date night. Our waitress was very nice and and attentive, however she did explain that they were short staffed which explained the delay in receiving our entrees. But overall I would visit again

The food was good but way overpriced. Calamari was like rubber bands, the snow crab shells had some empty/meatless parts. The staff was friendly but my water was always empty and there weren’t many other tables in the restaurant. They automatically add 20% to the bill, which is what I tip at a minimum anyway but there was little to no incentive for better service.

I enjoyed my date at the Chicago oyster house. The food was good especially the calamari, the drinks were worth the money spent and the waitress was very helpful/knowledgeable.

The hostess was exceptionally helpful and nice. I forgot her name but our reservation was 1.7.23 @ 530pm. The food was ok. The drinks looked pretty but not much substance. The decor was pleasant. Our server was nice bu continued to press the lobster tails. I said this was tempting however, we had lobster tails for Christmas Eve, Christmas and New Year's Eve. She argued that their lobster tails were different, etc. We ordered sushi rolls, The Pearl, The Bengal Tiger, a oysters on the half shell and spring rolls for our appetizers. All uninspired. My daughter's seafood pasta was better, flavorful. Also, our tip was added to our bill for our party of 3. When I questioned it, our waitress said it was something the restaurant does but could not explain it. She also stressed that she only gets half of that tip but any EXTRA or additions would go directly to her....hmmmm, a 35% tip? I was with my young adult children for a birthday celebration so, I went ahead and obliged. I can't see myself returning to this restaurant. Now I understand why my friends suggested other options when I mentioned where we were dining.....

We were seated promptly but waited over a half hour to order. Food took about a half hour or so to come to the table. They oysters were the star of the show. Lambchops were also good. However, food did not live up to the price tag. Would not visit again.

The website provides good information on parking, pricing, and how they roll with gratuity so there are no surprises. The waitress was fantastic very attentive friendly and she had given us options on how to work the menu to get what we wanted at a more affordable rate. Water refills were plentiful with the other staff. The food was very good! The steak better than expected, lobster and crab legs fresh and cooked perfectly.

Yesterday’s experience was a total disappointment. We are regular guests at Chicago oyster house and we absolutely love the place. But yesterday’s experience was a disaster, an hour after we’ve placed our order, we were only served with appetizers. As always, We ordered our soup, oysters, edamame and sushi. 35 minutes after we placed our order we were served with oysters only. By that time we finished our drinks, but she never offered another one. We asked our server why is it taking so long for soup and edamame, she said that she didn’t want too many plates on our table and we have to finish oysters first, because soup always comes after oysters 😁 Well, we finished oysters in 5 minutes and were sitting with our plates empty. 20 minutes later we were served with a cup our soup. Finished our cup, still no edamame, had to remind our server that we still waiting on edamame. Finally got our edamame. But still no sushi. Once finished edamame, our server approached with “would you like to see a desert menu?” We mentioned our sushi and she didn’t answer anything. Then we said that we can not wait another hour for that roll and she said “ok”, never apologized or tried to make it work. 20% gratuity is included, so I guess she didn’t care much. We overheard other tables complaints too… It is very disappointing when such an amazing place’s reputation can be ruined by someone who doesn’t care about the customer much.

I loved everything besides the fact that I put in the special details that it was me and my wife’s 10 year wedding anniversary and it wasn’t acknowledged at all by server or at front door when we came in

Crab appetizer had an ammonia smell. Notified the server. The crab legs in the boil were fine. Shrimp and Ousters were good. Drinks were small and expensive. Service was good. Aesthetically, it’s a nice place. Overall it was ok. Likely won’t return. Expect better than ok at this price point.

The meaning of the word gratuity is something that is given voluntarily or beyond obligation as an appreciation. I do not appreciate being forced to pay 20% for a party of 3. If the service is good, I will tip 25% or even 30%, but I do not like to be forced into it. You want more money, be honest and simply raise the prices. I will not be back to this restaurant.

A great experience during our visit to Chicago. The sea bass and prawn were delicious! The service was great! Whoever made the lemon drops knew how to make a good beverage! The only person who could use support is the hostess. She wasn’t very welcoming to anyone that I noticed. Robotic, enthused, and unwelcoming. Other than that, this is a great dinner environment and food!
