Shaw's Crab House

Come here for one of the best seafood salads in Chicago and in general. Love sitting at the oyster bar where you can always find attentive & quick service. They also seat later than the dining room on Sundays (up to 9p vs 8:30). Josh & Jorge are so friendly and cocktails were on point (With or Without) & (Monkey See). Grilled calamari was cooked to perfection but the sauce was a little too sweet for our taste. Stone crab was ok, def had a frozen texture to it. I found the crab in the salad to be much tastier. The sourdough is perfectly chewy, tangy, with the right amt of crunch on the crust.

Absolutely incredible experience! Had dinner here for a special night out. The service was phenomenal - very few restaurants provide this level of service anymore. We had our 18 month old with us which made me nervous since it is a fancy place but the entire staff welcomed her and made sure she was having a lovely time as well. The food was phenomenal from appetizers through to dessert. The lobster wellington is unique and very well done (so much lobster!) but only order if you really like the taste of spinach. My husband’s family has come here for years and we will be continuing the tradition.

Incredible dining experience. The dining room made me think of an old style restaurant from the 1950’s. The pretzel bread was so soft and delicious. We ordered the clam chowder, which rivaled the best I’ve had in Boston. Our dinner was crab cakes and charred mahi. Both were wonderful. Plan to eat here again next time I’m in Chicago.
