We come here for fresh seafood. We were not disappointed. We’ll be back as soon as this COVID blows over once and for all. Good Luck GTF&O!

Aside from having amazing seafood, the staff is friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend this place!

Excellent food, great service and atmosphere was lively, but quiet enough to carry on conversation.

Felt safe with distancing of tables, all employees wearing masks, and rules placed on table. Seemed even pricier than usual though. No valet currently being offered either, though meter parking was easy to find just west on Grand.

They have stepped up their game, and price tag, but it was worth it.

Super cute restaurant. Friendly, attentive service. Nice variety of dishes. My only complaint is that all of the food showed up to the table kind of cold. It had good flavor, but seemed to be sitting for a while before it came to the table. Had the dishes been warmer, it would have been a 5 star visit all around.

Always an outstanding meal at GT!!!

We were seated next to a Kindergarten Birthday party and the parents never controlled their children. Drinks were spilled, they crawled/stood on the restaurant furniture, and yelled to the other kids. The staff also allowed the shenanigans without speaking to the adults for the benefit of the other guests.

The food items did not contain normal ingredients and I had to request substitutes.

Even the non-alcoholic drink ordered wasn't tasty or fruity as expected. I won't return.

we came to celebrate our wedding anniversary. we were seated and noticed there was a children's birthday party happening a few tables over. the children were VERY loud, even screaming occassionally. who has an 8 year old birthday party at GT fish and oyster?? our first mistake was not asking for a different table. aside from the noise the staff began going in and out the door to the outside, and would leave the door wide open, leaving us to shiver inside. i finally had to ask them to close the door after they had kept it open for about 15 minutes. the food was ok, but the ambiance definitely was killed. they knew it was our anniversary too, which is extra disappointing. we finished our meal before the birthday party ended, even though they got there before us. not the romantic anniversary dinner we were hoping for. i will say that the serving staff were very polite and maintained social distancing rules very well.

Great food and service. The branzino had a nice crisp skin and the trout was very tender. The presentation of the caviar was very nice.

Best oysters in the city. Thanks for the 🦪🦪🦪!

Had a great outdoor dining experience. They were the best I have seen about covid restrictions

Food was good.

BUT

Stuff is being aggressive about you wearing a mask even when they pick up your empty plate or filling up your glass of champagne .
Every time I start eating/drinking or talking to my husband they interrupted me, standing 6 feet away , aggressively saying “put your mask on”.


This was extremely uncomfortable. We were not able to enjoy our food .
If we won’t order a bottle of champagne, we wouldn’t stay there more then 20 minutes .
Rude servers just messed up our anniversary ... will never go Back again.

Very great people, fantastic food and drinks!

Have always loved GT Fish & Oyster - arguably the best seafood in Chicago - but their seamless shift to COVID-friendly outdoor dining was impressive, even for them! Attentive staff who went above and beyond to help us celebrate my parents' anniversary. Of course the food was fresh and delicious as always.

Great great great

Thank you for a great experience! Although dining is so very different right now, you all did a great job making sure we felt safe and still really well cared for. It looks as though the staff is cared for based on all the precautions that are being taken, as well! As always, our favorites did not disappoint and new {to us} items were delicious. The added special occasion touches (menus and everyone that came to our table wishing us well) exceeding our expectations! Thank you for making our anniversary and evening special!

Great fish spot! The oysters are fantastic and the fish was prepared well and tasted great. Solid drink menu and great appetizers

Could not recommend this place more. Delicious and the staff was beyond incredible. Special shoutout to KC, who made a birthday evening so incredible.

The food was phenomenal. The oysters were very impressive!

The noise level is not in their control since we were outside. Overall good experience

Great food! Outdoor dining was wonderful, they did a great job abiding by COVID regulations. Service was amazing!

I have dined here many times, but not in a few years. And let me tell you. Nothing has changed. It was the same high quality experience I remembered, and I enjoyed every moment. The menu is interesting, unique, and delicious. And the wine list is perfection. The Oyster po-boy has never disappointed me, and the shrimp bruschetta is another must-have. Thank you GT! I’m a fan :-)

Out of clams and some oysters from east coast. Other than that, great.

My first time at this restaurant and I will absolutely return! Excellent food, service and wine! The oyster selection was delicious - we ordered some of each. The baramundi fish was delicious with perfectly crispy skin. The best ceasar salad dressing I have had in ages. Servers were personable, knowledgable about the wine selections, and attentive. They created very nice seating areas outside-very comfortable. Started out the evening with cocktail - the Waitlist - that was so delicious it was tempting to have a second, but I switched to my favorite, a nice red wine. A little pricey, especially with the wine, but will definitely return.

Our 5th time at GT fish & oyster.

Student heading to college

One of my favorites

Not as fun or delicious during shutdown-but, to be expected.

Unforgettable. Meal was very good, service was very professional.

The amazing consistency to the excellence of their food is appreciated. Also the service and sense of welcome is impressive. They are using their outdoor space well during Covid 18 and all staff were very appropriately masked. We can’t wait to go back

Keep faith

It was my second time at GT, the food is really good, service is great. We had such a good evening. Planning to get back soon.

Excellent seafood and a pleasing, quiet ambiance made for a great dinner. The staff were good at maintaining social distances and clean practices. For the food, the fish was juicy and flaky, the crab cakes were spiced perfectly, and there are no words for the shrimp bruschetta with avocado mousse. Worth every penny.

Excellent service and food!

Wonderful service and meal! We had the tuna crudo, crabcake, gem salad, lobster Mac & cheese, and mussels. All were absolutely delicious!! We will definitely be back!

Food was very high level. Service was professional and accommodating. Wine selection as well as aperitifs were wonderful.

Wonderful food with great presentation. Service is very good and the restaurant is properly managing virus dining precautions.

Amazing! Highly recommend. We will be back!

Would definitely recommend to others. They did a great job with social distancing and being cognizant of health regulations. Made us feel very comfortable and the food was amazing. I always enjoying going here.

Ate outside, nice spacing of tables and very clear they would keep table visits to a minimum for safety reasons. The food came quickly and at good temperatures. Great menu choices. Nice wine list (but try the sangria, it was lovely.)
