The seafood was very fresh, and the tasted great. It wasn't excellent, though. The service was great. The ambiance was nothing special. Everyone raved about the Mai Tai's: I was unimpressed. more

Being aware of the crowds, we got there early, around 5:30, and were seated immediately-they were getting quite crowded by the time we left around 6:45. We were slightly taken aback by the ambience, or lack of,... more

It cost $3 to have your car vallet parked (most places are free, I think this place is trying to sqeeze every penny out of you.) So we go up to the... more

I'm sorry. Everyone seems to like and even rave about this place. Go to almost any coastal city, east, west, or gulf coast, and you'll get better, fresher seafood less expensively. more

We get to Chicago maybe once every couple of years ... but when we go, a trip to Bob Chinn's is always on the 'to-do' list. This time, we were returning from vacation in MN and WI, and we planned our last night before driving back to STL with a stopover in the Chicago 'burbs, to be within easy driving... more
