My husband had eaten here before on a business trip and he wanted us to go, so I knew it would be good and it was delicious! Loved the atmosphere and the service was excellent.

We've been going to Shaw's for more than a decade. As always, a reservation is a must in this bustling gem. Service, food and ambience is always perfect. Nothing more to say other than its a must stop when in Chicago.

Shaw's has always been a good standby place especially if you want seafood. If there is anything that describes the restaurant it is consistency. Private rooms available if needed. You better get your reservation in early!

Outstanding variety of seafood. Very highly rated. The place was packed and good reason because the food and service was great.
