Great food, good wine selection that isn’t ridiculous prices, great ambiance the restaurant is decorated beautifully. I got the steak filets and lobster for around 60 dollars, comes with two filets and 2 little morsels of lobsters on top of them with hollandaise sauce. Underneath all that is a bed of asparagus. Not bad could have been more lobster for the price though. My gf got the seafood linguini which was great (I tried some). The only weird thing is for being named shaws crab house, not a lot of options for crab. The only option is a 100+ dollar king crab.

Seafood tower was disappointing as whether the economy or shrinkflation played into the lack of lobster tail size and missing crab legs but it wasn’t the same as previous years. The addition of a basic sushi roll to fill this once nicely stacked tower was disappointing. Drinks were good but service lacked detail.

Shaw's on a Friday, Valentine's night was a decadent and delicious experience. The bar tenders here make the best French Martini. I love the crab cakes, grilled calamari, and the very generous seafood salad. For dessert, the pecan pie was thicker than most I have tasted and shareable for two. My only wish was that it was served with more fresh whipped cream. Overall, it was a lovely dinner out with my Valentine. Thank you Shaw's!

Our Waiter was not pleased that we choose the 3 course lunch option. From that moment on he set the tone for our experience and it was not pleasant.

We are regulars but came this time for Chicago Restaurant Week. It is a great value. My favorite was the yellow fin tuna. My wife's favorite was the chocolate cake (huge!).
