This has been a reliable go to seafood spot in the northwest burbs for years. The fish is fresh and well prepared. Always great oysters and clam chowder. Service is great; most recently Luis was our waiter and he was excellent. Cocktails are well made and creative. The wine list is strong, but a tad over priced in my opinion. Lastly the dining room at Shaws has fortunately not changed for years - it's a pretty room. Try and get a booth if you can.

The food here was honestly phenomenal and so was the service. We did an impromptu meal on a Friday night and it made our whole week. The Norwegian crab was to die for and our steaks were cooked perfectly too. The only thing we were disappointed in was the $32 scallop appetizer that just has 7 or 8 tiny scallops with some sauce but other than that everything tasted amazing.

Excellent dining experience. The swordfish was the best we've had. The salmon was good, but basic in the preparation (this is still good). The lobster bisque was outstanding.
