I came here for a solo meal at the bar to celebrate my new job. I had a round of grilled oysters that were absolutely delicious and possibly the best oysters I’ve ever had. I also ordered a NY strip and truffle fries that were also great. Service was top tier from the bartender. They do automatically apply a 20% gratuity but I have no complaints as the service was great. I’d come back again for sure.

We love oysters and liked the idea that the Chicago Oyster House was reasonably close to where we’re staying. Let’s start with positives: a nice atmosphere, a good jazz soundtrack and very nice service (with one asterisk). The dishes we ordered were, on the whole, very nice and, I must point out, we ordered a limited selection…but that included the namesake oysters. An oyster house should have more than four different oysters which are permanently on the main printed menu. And there are plenty of examples of that in Chicago at places that don’t use “Oyster” in their name. I will praise the grilled oysters. Excellent. The Pearl roll was solid, if not outstanding. And they did the spicy edamame right. As noted, above, service was excellent — with one flaw. I ordered an Old Fashioned. When it came, my first sip was just…wrong. Their recipe uses, of all things, soda water. That is NOT an Old Fashioned. The waitress said she “could not” take it back…and I acknowledged and accepted that the drink menu listed it as an ingredient. I should have asked it be removed when I ordered but was curious to see if it worked. It did not. Really ruined the drink. She was justified in saying she couldn’t take it back but I’ve had bars re-do a drink for a lesser issue. She handled everything else wonderfully so I will accept responsibility and just say the restaurant she fix that drink AND be more flexible if a variation is that big a dud. Oh, and the above items came to over $200 with gratuity, so a light meal for two but not a cheap light meal. I think Chicago Oyster House is a decent place but needs a few fixes.

Really great neighborhood gem! I had heard so many good things about this restaurant. I’m so happy I finally decided to go. My sister and I were greeted when we arrived and our coats were stored for us. The hostess, waitress and staff were all so friendly and accommodating. The food was SO good, from the appetizer to the deserts it was delicious! I will be going back soon.

I am pleased to say that that quiet little quaint place that I went to was fabulous. From the beginning, we were greeted by very pleasant, hostess and seated. Once we are seated our server, Becky took great care of us. It was my first time, really eating oysters and I had an absolute ball eating them. I will be eating more I will be going back to this restaurant, it’s a bit pricey so I will definitely do it on special occasions I can’t see myself just popping in unless of course I’m popping in for some more of those martinis and oysters. Delicious overall I give the Chicago oyster house five stars . And beautiful ambience I can’t wait to make a reservation to go back.

Our dinner was delicious. The chicken teriyaki was plated with nothing else. The server asked my partner what side they wanted with the chicken and then charged us $10 for the side. Beware because the chicken teriyaki with a side is actually $38 not $28. Seems overpriced but it was really good.

Made us wait even though we had reservations while others behind us were seated immediately. The food was average at best my wife’s steak was cold and overcooked. I had to ask the porter for a desert menu. Our coats were put on one hanger jammed in between other coats.

Made reservations to bring my family here to partake in restaurant week and for a first experience they truly loved the restaurant. The food was amazing especially my oyster Rockefeller and lamb chops. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience.

My husband and I were on a date and we decided to dine here. We’ve been here before and it’s still a very nice restaurant. Our food was delicious, my lamb chops were divine. I had so many that I had several to take home. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his food as well. I ordered the lobster bisque soup for the first time and I loved it. Also, our server was attentive, kind, and accommodating. We definitely recommend the Chicago Oyster House!!

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.

Sat us in bar area even though we had reservations. Entree took 1 1/2 hours. Food was cold when it arrived. Lamb chop ordered med rare came well done.

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

Great drinks! The food was amazing. Best tuna tartare I’ve ever had! Crab legs fresh and tasted amazing. Best oysters we’ve had. Couldn’t have cooked the steak better! Definitely will recommend to others :)
