Have had this place twice and each time was really good!…read more They have a few combos that are well worth the price for the amount of seafood boil you receive. My husband and I typically just share the shrimp and crab leg combo and will add in hard boiled eggs and/or sausage. Always tasty! Service is great and attentive. Lots of space within the restaurant. We've come early(ish) on Fridays (about 5/5:30 pm) and by the time we're walking out there are a lot more tables being served. Would definitely give this place a try if you're in the area!

I'm so glad we decided to try out the Tasty crab, the food was not good, it was amazing!!!! An explosion of flavor and so much better than Angry Crab! My daughter who is 8, very picky eater btw was raving about how delicious this place was! Alex our server was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and gave us the best suggestions that did not disappoint! My toddler was even going in on the shrimp, noodles and fries! Every single item was tasty! My kids, can't wait to go back and quite frankly neither can we! The restaurant was clean and very cute suitable for casual, a date night, or in our case a family date. -Shout to alex! The best service we've had in a sit down restaurant, not sure which I was most impressed with, the service you provided or the food! Thank You!

Loved it - again! We…read morewere here last night for dinner as a party of 5 and dinner was fabulous. As we no longer live in the Chicago area and we're staying downtown, we felt we should pop back over here for lunch today so glad we did. Our server, was quite pleasant and attentive.

My wife and I shared the following: - Lobster Mac and Cheese - Seafood Salad - Parkerhouse rolls and butter - Hot tea - Iced tea See you this summer Shaw's Crab House!

This crab house offers lunch, which is convenient, but the overall experience was just so-so across…read morethe board. The decor felt pretty average--nothing memorable or inviting. Service was mediocre, not bad but definitely not attentive either. Food followed the same pattern. The lobster rolls came on cold, toasted bread, which didn't quite work. French fries were fine, nothing special. The clam chowder leaned too milky and lacked depth. The salad was probably the most balanced item, but still nothing standout. Overall, it's an okay option if you're nearby and need a quick meal, but not somewhere I'd go out of my way to visit again.

There's graffiti on the walls and staff members are dressed extremely casually but the food does not lie. Our server was very attentive the whole night and they had a fire playlist that consisted of a lot of drake and partynextdoor. We started off by ordering the fried calamari and the Asiago garlic wings and omg it was so unbelievably good. The fry was light and crispy and the wings were absolutely delicious. Both were around $11 each. In our seafood boil we both got a half pound of snow crabs and shrimp and some fillers like corn and potatoes. I got around 1 lb altogether and my bf got around 1 1/2 lb and we were both stuffed by the end of the night. Sadly they were out of crawfish but I am excited for crawfish season. Total bill ended up around $160 with tip which is pricey and next time we would order just the wings and cut down on the sausage potatoes and other add ons. Highly recommend this place and will be coming back once I get my money up.

They renovated the interior, gone are the signatures all over the walls, now it's greenery and posters. Menu's pretty much the same, but the taste has its own spin. We always get the combo flavor (signature sauce, medium spice) with corn and sausage, and pair the bag with the garlicky spaghetti, it was so good. They give you plastic bib + gloves if you don't want to get messy. The cornbread was amazing too so don't miss it. And it's BYOB, so we brought a cold bottle of white. Highly recommend.

We…read moreall started with Cantarito drinks, which were refreshing and the perfect way to kick off the celebration. My parents and sister had the Molcajetes, which are still tasty, but compared to before, it felt like they've been trying to cut corners a bit--more beans than meat this time around. My boyfriend and I shared the Charola Mixta, and it was absolutely amazing. The portion was huge and generous, with so much flavor in every bite--it honestly stole the show. The atmosphere was lively and festive, making it a great spot for celebrating special occasions. Overall, La Costa still delivers on hearty Mexican food, delicious drinks, and a fun vibe. While some dishes might have shifted a bit over time, the Charola Mixta and drinks are definitely worth trying!

We chose Stefani Prime as a halfway point to meet friends from the city, excited by the glowing…read morereviews and reputation. Unfortunately, our experience didn't live up to the hype. Atmosphere: The first thing we noticed upon walking in was the much older crowd dining there. While that's not inherently negative, it set a tone that felt less lively than we expected for a night out with friends. Service: Our waiter was talkative but not particularly helpful. Lots of words, but no real guidance on menu selections, which left us feeling a bit lost. Food: Average at best. With all the great reviews, we were anticipating standout dishes, but nothing impressed us enough to want to return. Overall Impression: Disappointing. The hype didn't match the reality, and while the setting was fine, the combination of uninspired food and lackluster service means we won't be coming back. Final Verdict: Stefani Prime may work for some, but for us, it was underwhelming.

We had calamari to start then I ordered the 22oz. ribeye which was cooked to perfection. My sister ordered the lobster risotto which was decadent! We also had a NY Strip and Lake Superior White fish.

The quality is definitely better than places I usually frequent (ayce spots) and they have cuts of fish that is generally not available or is only available for an egregiously high price. The quality is surprisingly good, didn't know the Midwest was able to find fish this good. This place isn't really like a conventional restaurant, it's moreso like a grocery store that also happens to have sushi platters for sale. Likely the best bang for your buck outside of going to all you can eat.
