Food overall was acceptable, nothing special, the scallop was a bit salty and tiny. The complimentary sourdough bread they gave is pretty bad, it was cold and a bit too sour for my taste. Lobster bisque was ok, shrimp cocktail is so so as the shrimp texture is too solid. Portion wise is good for non American, service wise was distant but efficient. Atmosphere wise is quite good as it has the traditional American diner vibe.
I loved every second at Shaw’s! I got the Centorri Moscato, 3 Course lunch with the oyster sampler, pan seared cod and the crème brûlée. Everything I had was delicious! If you come, which you should, ask for Shana B! I also ordered the Oyster Rockefeller, it is a must try. Everything I had on the menu is worth every penny! Next time I am in the Windy City I will be back!
The food was absolutely delicious, and everything tasted fresh. They were able to squeeze us in as a walk-in, which we really appreciated. The only downside was the service—our server rarely checked on us, and getting a refill took quite a while. Overall, I would still highly recommend this place for the food!
I absolutely love coming here to eat when I visit the city! I enjoy sitting at the bar to have lunch and cocktails. The food is always fresh and delicious! We had oysters and shrimp cocktail = perfection! The shrimp were large, fresh, and chilled (they were cold, not just tossed on ice before serving). The sampler of oysters is a great way to try out the different oysters of the day. The cocktails were amazing - my lemon drop martini was fabulous! The atmosphere is awesome - it still has the old-school character to it. Great restaurant - I highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Loved it - again! We were here last night for dinner as a party of 5 and dinner was fabulous. As we no longer live in the Chicago area and we’re staying downtown, we felt we should pop back over here for lunch today so glad we did. Our server, was quite pleasant and attentive. The support staff were efficient. My wife and I shared the following: - Lobster Mac and Cheese - Seafood Salad - Parkerhouse rolls and butter - Hot tea - Iced tea See you this summer Shaw’s Crab House!
