Shaw's Crab House

Went here for Valentine's Day - long story short, not impressed. I've picked food up here before and did not appreciate there is a whole other room called the "Oyster Bar" - booked the table and thought we were sitting in the main dining room area (which has a more refined aesthetic). When booking on OpenTable the restaurant should give you a choice of room because they are very different. The Oyster Bar is much more casual and feels like a diner. Further, it feels like it hasn't been renovated in some time, feels a bit beat up. For the price we paid, would not go back. You get better bang for your buck elsewhere in Chicago. Food overall was pretty good. Ordered the filet, which was acceptable but $65.00 and didn't feel right in the down-scale setting. The other entre we ordered was the Seafood Salad, which was nothing special and definitely not worth $37.00. Service was good. We also had a member of our party with a gluten allergy and they handled that very effectively (and confidently). Only change I would make is to print off new menus and clean up a little more. When we sat down there were crumbs all over the seats and the menus were bent up.

Fantastic evening and the most delicious crab ever! Came here for a special occasion with family and enjoyed every bite. The garlic shrimp were so tasty and the sushi was on point (plenty of gluten-free options, including soy sauce!) Special shout-out to Sandra, our amazing server! The attentive and friendly service really makes this place top notch.
