SHAW'S CRAB HOUSE REVIEWS

Brooke G, the team lead, made the dinner reservation seamless. I booked this place for my parents’ anniversary while they’re in Chicago for a conference. They absolutely enjoyed the experience - I am told the food was exceptional quality and taste, the service was lovely.

We had an excellent time here with some equally excellent food! Loved the yellowtail cold dish with some really nice flavor and freshness. The clam chowder was surprisingly creamy and tasty, and was a favorite. The pasta was also extremely tasty and would love to come back if we get the chance.

Great service! Our waiter was fantastic. Paced the meal and was very attentive. Lots of help with menu questions. Food was amazing.

JOE'S SEAFOOD, PRIME STEAK & STONE CRAB REVIEWS

I had dinner here with my boyfriend and it was the best service I’ve ever had in my life. Our waiter (I can’t remember his name unfortunately) was amazing. He was kind, attentive, polite, professional, and all around went above and beyond for us. Hot towels served between courses, great wine recommendations AND was on top of keeping our glasses full, always keeping the table clean, amongst other things. The food is incredibly fresh. Flavorful and tastes like it was just pulled from the ocean. I loved my experience and we will absolutely be back.

First time here and we loved it!! The food was incredible and the service was amazing!! I can’t remember our waitresses name but she was very friendly and knew her stuff. Definitely hope to be back here next time we’re in Chicago.

Such an amazing experience, it was my first time ever trying the Stone Carb and I must say it didn’t disappoint me. Savory flavors, good potions on everything. Cherry on top were the oysters and tobasco sauce for some extra kick. Loved every bit, will be going back again.

HUGO'S FROG BAR AND FISH HOUSE REVIEWS

Always a treat. This time we enjoyed our cocktails and oysters in the Winston Churchill elevator. The experience was free and came with complimentary champagne. The dirty martinis and oysters are phenomenal. The frog legs were a first but very delicious and flavorful if you can get over the little butt staring right at you. Rene was our server and he is a wonderful part of the experience. Overall highly recommend.

Food is excellent! Oysters and frog legs were incredible. The elevator table felt so private and comfortable. Plus, the service is unmatched. Our waiter was welcoming and attentive. The food, atmosphere and service were top notch. Can't wait to go back.

Very nice establishment, cozy vibes, amazing food, drinks were perfection. We were there on a Saturday evening and they even had someone there playing the piano which added to ambiance. 10/10 perfect late night place to get a bite and chill.
