   I have been eating here for 30 years it seems and the place was always a little pricey. Now it’s ridiculous! Valet was $21, my salad at lunch was $37 - they actually cut the shrimp in half to make it look like you are getting 2 not 1!!! our total bill was over $130! Close for lunch and just be open for dinner. Very disappointed.

   Lunch with a great friend and this is one of our favorite places to dine. As usual they didn't disappoint. Not to mention I left my credit card there and called when I realized it and it was still there.

    Husband’s birthday. The chocolate ganache was wonderful. The king and yellow crab was good. He said his steak was seasoned so well, he needed no sauce. Was crowded and noisy, but good for business. We were so close we were talking about our courses with one neighboring couple. Then other people next to us were loud and obnoxious. Will recommend if you don’t mind $500 with tip. We will return. Service was great. 👍🏽

    We had a wonderful meal with superb service at Shaw’s Crab House and Oyster Bar. The ambiance in the restaurant was true “old world” Chicago; something that is greatly missed when living and dining in a different state. Our server, Marco, was attentive and his food recommendations were spot-on. All 4 of us felt our food was exceptional. I would highly recommend Shaw’s to anyone.

    Beautiful space, feels elegant and energetic inside! The crab cake was excellent and if my house salad had a bit less dressing and Lobster Bisque had a bit less salt this would have been a home run! Great menu, I will be back to try more!

    I went to Shaw’s with my boyfriend to celebrate my birthday. We had Fawn as our server, and she was phenomenal. When requesting information about the wine, she found the sommelier, Dillon, who was extremely knowledgeable in his recommendation. Overall, both Fawn and Dillon’s welcoming attitudes made the experience one of the best I have ever had. I highly recommend both of them and the restaurant. The food was spectacular along with the wine, you couldn’t ask for a better dinner.

    This restaurant never seems to disappoint. The freshness of the fish and the attention to preparation is among the best in seafood offerings in Chicago. The selection of oysters and their descriptions on the menu make it easy to choose to one's liking. The tuna entree was outstanding and cooked to perfection. The ambiance in a banquette in the bar area only adds to pleasant conversations. And, our waiter, Eduardo, was attentive without hovering. I look forward to returning soon.

    Started with the volcano roll and spicy shrimp, salmon and lemon roll. Both were delicious and I would recommend them both. Then we couldn't decide between clam chowder or lobster bisque and our waiter told us we could combine them both and he recommended trying it. We both did and it was amazing 😍. Definitely must try. Girlfriend had the blue crab stuffed flounder with lobster brandy sauce. It was delicious, fish was soft and the cream sauce was delicious. I had the signature which was two petite filets and Norwegian red king crab legs. It was as good as it sounds and then some. We had the brussel sprouts for our side and they were good but I would probably try something else next time. We ended with the pecan pie and it was also super delicious. If you like pecan pie this one is a 10.
