We were given a thermocol plate with a plastic fork. The server did not even remove the steaming boil from its plastic bag. The seafood was served wrapped in plastic. When we asked for crab crackers, we were told they didn't have any and were handed plastic scissors instead. The server also never offered a beverage menu, which is standard at other outlets. The two stars are entirely for the taste of the food. Actually eating it was a nightmare. I would not return, and I would not recommend this place to anyone, primarily on safety grounds.

Both were fantastic: the filet had a beautiful sear and rich flavor, while the tender, sweet lobster was perfectly cooked, especially with butter. The service was top-notch. Everyone was welcoming and attentive without being overbearing, and our knowledgeable server offered great recommendations. The staff made the meal feel special. Joe's also delivers a classic Chicago steakhouse atmosphere: dark, polished, and lively, with families, business diners, and couples. It's a confident, established spot for more than just steak; a proper night out with polished service and timeless ambiance. Great food and exceptional hospitality made this an experience I'll remember. I'd gladly return on my next visit to Chicago.

Not so surprisingly on a Saturday night, all the large tables are reserved and were eventually occupied by large parties. Good for them. A group of three arrived when the tables were not yet occupied and were peeved when they were turned away. A reply of 'they are reserved' didn't matter to them. Ha! The staff spoke all the expected languages of English, Cantonese, and Mandarin. The menu has the usual varieties expected in a Chinese restaurant. The cost is a bit lower than back home, but I don't know how it compares locally. They are very popular and full on a Saturday night. I suspect they are plenty competitive. Rice is included! The Food: Stir Fried Beef Steak with King Mushrooms, $19.95 - 5 Stars This dish is filled with sparkling wok-hei flame stir-fried pieces of beef and veggies. Beef pieces are tender. Veggies are cooked just right. Thumbs up. Jumbo Shrimp in Black Bean Sauce, $16.95 - 4 Stars This is a sizzling platter dish. It didn't arrive particularly sizzling, but it was oily (common for sizzling dishes). The red and green bell peppers were great, but the purple onion pieces were cut too small and was consequently overcooked. I still liked it, just lacked the sizzle, pun intended.

We also ordered a lunch special - pan fried beef with rice noodle and I would order that again. No issues with service. It's a smaller dining space so may feel a little cramped.

The oysters were absolutely amazing. And then the crab legs....oh my goodness..delish. Everything was just so delicious. And I have to give a shout out to their sweet, creamy butter.

When we received it we were a little disappointed by the size. But the pieces were still so juicy and delicious! Just want to give a heads up also that their menu is on rotation, what you see online may not be what you get! Love me some sushi, so I was excited to try the California roll, although it was hard to justify it being $18!!! The crab was very minimal, as you can tell by the pictures... it was missing the classic California roll taste given barely any meat. The Mac and cheese side was good. Nothing too special. plus. But standard is the best word I can think of. Shareable portion, which is a plus. Service was excellent. The server was friendly and personable. Ambiance is great, it's an elevated crab house aesthetic. There is a dress code to enter. Overall, I can't say we had the experience of the price we paid.

She called a few days ahead and reserved a private dining room in the back. I highly recommend this! We had 2 toddlers and five adults (with a cake that we brought for dessert) so this private dining space was perfect. My sister talked up the double lobster fried rice and the egg yolk pumpkin. Both are definitely worth ordering, especially with a large group. Here is what we ordered, family style: * double lobster fried rice * cumin chicken skewers * fish fillet ("crunchy" asian carp) * garlic vegetables * beef & peppers over pan-fried wide rice noodles * egg yolk fried pumpkin * black bean + vermicelli oysters; garlic & vermicelli oysters (market price, worth it!) They brought out complimentary sliced watermelon after our meal and then helped us set up our cake that we brought for dessert (and had stored in the fridge for us during the meal). They helped us light the candles and were so, so kind wishing our mom happy birthday, helping us take photos, and making our meal feel very special. My favorite dish was the oysters (market price) at $9 each and we ordered five but it was WORTH IT. We are at a seafood restaurant after all and they were so fresh and so delicious. I crave this flavor (soy, garlic, black bean) and the vermicelli soaks up all of the juice/flavor and the fresh herbs on top are *chefs kiss* I was less impressed by the double lobster, but it is fun to order with a group. The crunchy asian carp was a weird texture to me (and I know they are bred and fed soybeans for the texture on purpose) but it just wasn't for me. I prefer my fish to be soft and flaky. Overall, we had a fabulous meal: five shining stars! The food comes out fresh from the kitchen and they even have big lobster tanks in the back so you know you're getting a live lobster with your lobster order. The staff are quick and kind. Limited street parking available in Bridgeport, be warned, you might need to walk a little if you drive.

Avoid This Place: A Dive Bar Masquerading as a Restaurant…read more​If I could give this place zero stars, I would. We came to Langostra Nayarita expecting a decent meal, but what we got was four and a half hours of pure frustration. ​We arrived ahead of our group and were seated quickly, but that was the only efficient part of the entire experience. They dropped off a tiny cup of ceviche and some tostadas, and then we effectively ceased to exist to the staff. ​The service was nonexistent. Our waitress (the one with blonde hair) was the definition of unprofessional. She spent the entire afternoon doing shots with other customers and lounging at their tables rather than doing her job. In the nearly five hours we were there, we only saw her twice. ​To make matters worse: ​The Food: Completely average. Nothing justifies the lack of service. ​The Atmosphere: They're acting more like a messy dive bar than a professional restaurant. ​The Exit: We have currently been waiting for our check for over an hour. ​It is insulting to pay for a meal when you have to beg for the bare minimum of attention. Save your time and your money--skip this place. I will never be back.
