Excellent service! Steve our waiter was very informative and attentive. Definitely recommend!

Very good halibut fish !!!! Always a pleasure and the quality stands out compared to other places highly recommended!!!!! Keep it up

Pros- Very fresh seafood, one of the best calamari I've ever had. Oysters were very good too, and I recommend the Lobster Mac and Cheese. Grilled Copper River Salmon is very good, but too pricey IMO.- Great servers, and great dinner vibes - their interior is a vibe- Cocktails and dessert menu are excellent.Cons- Food chills too quickly, they don't seem to warm the plates- PriceyOverall, I highly recommend for a nice dinner out. Will be coming again.

I've been coming here since I was a little girl with my dad and it's still just as good years later.We attended the Ridge wine pairing dinner yesterday and I was very impressed. They provided champagne as we walked into the room and they kept bringing everyone oysters while we waited for the event to start. I liked that all of the wine was pre-poured; everyone received generous amounts of wine. (I've been to a wine pairing dinner at McCormick's and they poured as the meals came out and for those sitting in the back we barely got any wine because the waitresses were overpouring everyone up front. When we asked for more wine we were told $24 a glass.)I also liked that all of the seating was already figured out and all we had to do was find our table. (They did not do this at McCormick's and no one knew where to sit and people were all rushing for the front seats.)The waiters and waitresses were on top of everything in a seemless manner and even gave us more wine after our dinner. I appreciated that they brought the chefs out to meet everyone because I feel like restaurants don't do that enough when they should. All of the food was delicious and just the right portions to where I felt full but not overstuffed.I felt like I got what I paid for and then some.

Food was AMAZING. The service was excellent. The atmosphere was very relaxing. The only thing that struck me a tad much was $150 for 3 Alaskan King Crab legs per person. Now I understand the country is having financial problems, gas is at 5 bucks a gallon, and I've watched every season of Deadliest Catch and I take my hat off to those men who basically torture themselves for months on end to fill our plates as well as our bellies! (R.I.P. Phil Harris) Overall the place is FANTASTIC!!!

I went here for my birthday and it was such an amazing experience. My wine glass was never empty, our server let us take our time, and the food was absolutely phenomenal!!! Also- if you’re gettingdessert get the Bananas Foster!!! It was ridiculous !! Definitely worth the trip!

Went to Shaw's Crab House in Schaumburg with a work colleague for dinner on their birthday. It has two sections to the restaurant, a more formal fine dining area and then a casual sports bar come oyster bar area. We sat in the more formal area in a booth and it was a pleasant dining environment. The menu has all the usual things you'd expect to find at an American Seafood / Steak specialist restaurant. We both had the Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail to start ($18) which was great. I then followed with a delicious 14oz NY Strip ($55) and my colleague had the twin 4oz Lobster Tails ($45). As usual with these finer dining American restaurants all the sides were extra... We had a Potato Gratin ($13), Broccolini ($12), and Brussel Sprouts ($12) all of which were to a high standard. For dessert I had the Banana Foster which was nice but the least favourite part of my meal, it was just mega sweet. Considering we had just one Cocktail our bill came to US$228 with tax so by the time we added a tip we were looking at US$130 a head (GB£100 each). It was a nice meal though and it was a special occasion so all in all worth it.

The selection of good seafood restaurants in the Chicago area is limited and Shaw's is one of the best. Attentive service and really well-prepared seafood dishes come at a price however. The higher end prices makes Shaw's a special occasion restaurant for us and well worth the wait between visits.

I’ve been to Shaw’s Crab House on and off for probably 30 years. Shaw’s is a classy restaurant with great service and great food. It’s a little pricey, but always worth the trip.

Super tasty, great cocktails and seafood. Split an order of shrimp linguine and fish and chips for dinner with a bowl of lobster bisque to start. The bread they bring as a starter is amazing with the soup.
