July 25, 2009 My wife and I dined at Shaw’s Crab House on Sat night,
and it was fantastic. We have eaten out at a lot of restaurants, and we
can honestly say that Shaw’s (either Chicago or Schaumburg) still
has it going on, and is top of our list for consistent, quality seafood
and shellfish. The food is always prepared right, with great service,
and the dining room is comfortable, where you can relax and enjoy your
meal. Here was our dinner/all worthy selections: Start with their
hand-shucked dozen assortment of oysters (Chicago Magazine just
voted “the best†oysters), then their famous jumbo lump crabmeat
crabcake (North Shore magazine voted “best crabcakeâ€), then
their wonderful Lobster Bisque soup, then split an order of their steamed
Alaskan King Crab legs with side of melted butter, then try the in-season
special, three delicious soft shell crabs sautéed in lemon, garlic
butter, all with great veggie sides, and end it all with Key Lime Pie ...

I'm always a little leary of seafood when we're nowhere near
the ocean, but this place is pretty good. The restaurant is very nicely
decorated. I had the MD lump crab cake, which was very good. Next time,
I would like to try the family style crab dinner.

Seafood from the oceans is just not a natural ting fro Chicagoans.
They do have the lake, but other than a few landlocked species,
there isn't much coming from Lake Michigan. But Shaws has
been in Chicago for a while and they do serve up some nice seafood.
Personally, I like Bob Chin's better, but you can't
go wrong with Shaw's. The Oyster bar is very good.

Tough action to do good seafood in Chicago, but they did pretty well.
We had an enjoyable evening, and would go back.

Another good chain that does it right. Really strong with shellfish
and tuna, less so with other fish, in my opinion. Very, very consistant,
however, which isn't easy to do with seafood establishments.
Great, perfect service and very nice, mellow atmosphere, although
I hear that "mellow" isn't always the case.
