    I am a huge fan of lettuce, entertaining restaurants, and I was very excited that they had a location out in Schaumburg. The restaurant is beautiful service was mostly great although they forgot a few things and I felt like we were being rushed. I ordered the king crab legs at $150 Had to pay extra for a side dish and the crab was incredibly salty and there’s no way it was a pound and a quarter. My girlfriend steak was ordered medium came out medium well and as the night went on, things got better, but certainly not worth the amount of money that they’re charging Still a huge fan of lettuce would just rather be in the city and pay those city prices

    Our server has excellent. We were there for dinner on a night during shrimp fest. The food was great. Enjoyed the garlic shrimp and shrimp ceviche, herb crusted halibut and soft shell crab. Wine selection was good also.

    Shaw's is one of our Favorite Places for dinner. We had the Halibut and Shrimp Pasta. We also had the California Rolls for an appetizer. All delicious with excellent service. We are on the frequent diner program, and our server even made us aware that we had points to use. Loved it! Highly Recommend!!!

    They had a full house on Mothers Day ! Luckily we made reservations and were seated right away. Drinks and appetizers came fast . The entree did take 40 mins to come out and our waiter never brought bread to our table until we asked . But overall very good food and service. Clean , inviting atmosphere and would go back during their Snow crab season as this time they only had King Crab and Soft shell crab .
