    The vibe of the Oyster bar is what envisioned of old Chicago but hadn't found on my first visit to this City. Oysters and shrimp cocktail were perfect, the sauces were on point for every dish, and the wedge salad had the best dressing I've ever had. One of the best wedges ever, and I try them everywhere. There are so many spots to continue to check out here in Chicago but I would definitely come here again.

    I only had a crab cake when I came but that alone was delicious. My party had several orders of oysters so I'd venture to say they were great. Our bartender was amazing and that really made the experience all the better. I will definitely be back

    I ordered takeout so can't give a full review, but the experience was good nonetheless. the oysters rockefeller was tasty, albeit a tad overpriced - you only get 4 oysters for $20. the hostess was very prompt and friendly. the ambiance is nice, however, it may be a little outdated/old-fashioned. i would return to try more items and give a more comprehensive review.

    This was an extraordinary, memorable experience. Don't get me wrong, it was not inexpensive, but it was outstanding. We came to Shaw's because several in our group were craving some king crab - I mean, they were FIENDING for some king crab. Came to find out from the staff everything that has happened with overfishing Alaskan king crab, and that Shaw's established relationships with some Norwegian king crab provides. They are unique in that there are strict regulations limiting the size and number of king crabs they can fish, and these are caught by a network of smaller fishing operations. As a result they have a more limited number available each day, but each one is truly epic. We named our crab "Jake" and the fantastic staff expertly prepped him for us tableside so we didn't have to do any heavy lifting. Several diners at nearby tables came over and asked to take pictures. Jake was amazing, and he nearly kicked our butt. All three sides, appetizers, drinks and desserts were excellent. The service was really "old school first-rate". They are next door to Andy's Jazz club so we were able to walk over after dinner and enjoy a really great show while taking advantage of the valet parking at Shaw's. This was the kind of dining experience that reminded me of classic downtown Chicago restaurants from my childhood, decades ago. Really worth the visit.
