the lobster roll was very good and filling..the meat was very good. i had it delivered..great..

Food was okay but a bit overpriced for the portion size. We tried the uni pasta and sesame tuna salad. Not sure if I would come again since there's so many good options nearby. Restaurant was not that busy and pretty quiet, service was good. read more

Lure Fishbar - Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

My husband and I were looking for fish and didn't want to go too far. Lure came up with good reviews and a short walk from our hotel. I ordered the house favorite: Branzino. My husband got the special. We can't recall what kind of fish it was, but it was from Lake Michigan and FRESH! Mine was served with whipped potatoes, while his came with risotto. Both were delightful. Our server, Jake, was knowledgeable and funny. We appreciated his willingness to allow us to try a few wines before making a decision. I wish we had room to try the cookie skillet he recommended. I loved the ambiance: dimly lit, no televisions, cozy booths. Romantic and calm -- exactly what I was looking for after a long, touristy day! read more

Came in for happy hour for the oysters. The oysters were so scrumptious! They did not skimp on size even though it was a HH deal. I also tried their burger slider and it was so yummy. It'd love to come back and try the burger on the regular menu because the slider felt like such a good sample! The meat was cooked perfectly and the pickles + sauce used was great. I opted to grab the bubbles on HH and enjoyed it. The bartenders and host were both really nice. It was easy to snag a bar seat. The whole place was so cutely decorated for Christmas and the Christmas music in the background was a nice touch to feel the holiday spirit. read more

The food was very good. I had the Branzino which was cooked perfectly! It is so buttery and delicious, melt in your mouth!! The whipped potatoes underneath were a nice complement to such a mouth watering plate! Love the addition of capers as well. Boyfriend had the Steamed Red Snapper and was very happy with his choice. We considered doing the Crispy Asian Snapper for Two, but decided on trying two separate plates instead of sharing. We did see the Snapper for Two at a nearby table and it did look pretty amazing! I also noticed they had enough to take home leftovers as well! We chose the caviar deviled eggs for an app, and I'm just a sucker for caviar deviled eggs. Our sake was called Dreamy Clouds. It was a nice compliment to our fish. Very light taste but had a nice heavy body as well. We came here on a Saturday night around 7 I believe and actually found a place to sit and eat without a wait. Every other place we wanted to try had a long wait or needed prior reservations. The ambiance is dark and moody but with a delicate feminine touch. Our server was knowledgeable and very nice. read more

Lure Fishbar - Happy hour oysters and sparkling white wine. - Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

4.75 stars... For starters I parked in a lot nearby for cheaper than street cost. Less than 1 min walk. We came for happy hour than dinner... Happy hour blue point oysters were delicious. Very fresh, clean, and good price. The happy hour prosecco and house red was not ideal for my taste buds. The deviled eggs with caviar was also delicious you get 3 pieces (1.5 eggs). Then we switched to the dining room for dinner. The service is exceptional We had a new guy in training he was so fun and professional. The menu was cute ... More Appetizers... Mussels and clams chowder. I'm picky about my clam chowder and it was tasty and not too thin. Had potato and more clam than most places. The mussels were cooked perfectly with a good wine butter sauce. I had branzino it was the perfect crisp on the cooking. The potatoes and spinach was nicely seasoned. My friend had the crispy Asian snapper for two. A beautiful fish plated wonderfully. With veggies and crispy fried rice that was also very good and this portion was large enough for three people even though they say two. Drinks... The double espresso martini was delicious The shochu purple and plum was nice and strong. Definitely had some left overs. The wait staff was even funny and professional. read more

This transcends the expectations of your typical hotel restaurant! Lure Fishbar, was a surprising treat. My Bronzino St. Tropez was delicious. The Crispy Sushi Rice was a clever twist on nigiri, with a selection of fish or caviar sitting on crispy rice. The caviar version was delish. Good cocktails and a nice wine selection too. Excellent seafood cuisine and amazing desserts, with some novel menu items and fantastic service make it a dining experience worthy of the expense. read more

If I could, I'd give this place a 10! The service was outstanding, the food absolutely amazing, and the seating area was beautiful. We truly enjoyed every moment we spent here. It may be a fish bar, but their ravioli was superb--highly recommend! read more

What can't I say about this place! All the food and drinks were spectacular! The staff was very kind and knowledgeable with drinks and the menu. We started with the crispy rice and spicy tuna, a common dish but Lures' made it so fresh- it just tasted so good. We also ordered the salmon tiradito, lobster roll, lobster Mac n cheese, and fried rice. Everything was delicious, but the fried rice was the sleeper of the night... it was so flavorful and maybe a commonly a slept on dish by other customers. Lastly, the aesthetic of the place was very pleasing and beautifully decorated. Can't recommend enough and can't wait to go back! read more

Had a great Chicago Restaurant Week lunch here! Unfortunately you only get to choose 2 of the 3 courses on the restaurant week menu (with several options for all courses), but fortunately I was able to split food with someone and try an appetizer, entree and dessert! Started off with a yummy lobster bisque (that isn't offered on their regular menu). The sesame-crusted tuna salad had a nice dressing and was very fresh. The dessert was the highlight--matcha panna cotta was so delicious (also not on their regular menu)! Everything about the place feels high-end and photogenic. Nice and friendly service! read more

First time here. Treated daughter for her debut week in a national tour production at the Cadillac Palace Theatre. The food was amazing. We got the Feast of the Seven Fishes and the portions were supposed to for a single person. They were huge. The octopus was very tender. The calamari was lightly breaded and amazing. The pasta was nice and al dente. They ran out of clams and substituted with shrimp. It was probably one of the best dinners I have had in a restaurant. The ambience was very nice. The only issue we had was when we were being seated at a table, we asked to sit in the empty booth right next to the table and she said we would be served faster at the table, which I thought was a weird statement. Service is slower in a booth? Huh? Other than that, I would highly recommend this place if you are in the downtown Chicago area. Well done Lure, thank you for the experience. read more

Stopped by for the first time for a night cap and overall was impressed by the beautiful cocktail display. We came from a luxury gala and was looking for an upscale, sexy cocktail bar and this was it! Hopped in 30 min, or so, before closing and didn't feel rushed whatsoever, and still served top notch service. Which is a 10/10 for me! Didn't have any food, but will be back! read more

I got sushi, French fries, and chicken. The chicken didn't make it to me but I'm sure it would've been great. I had two kinds of Sushi. One of them I ordered one of them I'm not sure what it was. Both very good. Also I thought this was room service for the hotel but they aren't. They do not deliver direct to room. Normally I wouldn't get room service anyway but I lost my voice and had no choice. read more

Tried the restaurant week lunch and loved it! Great ambience inside. I had the lobster bisque pan-roasted chicken. Both were well-flavored and had great portions, especially the chicken! My friend got the salmon tartare and winter mushroom bucatini, also so delicious! The bucatini was a little hard and oily. Overall, all the food was very well flavored and great service. Will be coming back to try more! read more

Was here for a quick bite and made it in time for happy hour-- the bluepoint oysters were fresh and succulent-- as fresh as they come, and the salmon avocado roll was also spot on. I had to try the turf option of slider and enjoyed that too. Friendly fast service at the high top next to the bar. It's next to the museum hotel, whose lobby is that. I'll be back for dinner! read more

Two thing cinched it for me: this amazing wine and the horrible service. I heard one of the bartenders bragging about how their boss called them for a supposed wine festival because they thought it would be busiest than it turned out to be. That may be so, but I had to ask for every glass of wine and even to order while others were served around me. The hostess staff were impeccable though. I will say, the mussels were fabulous and this pink tinted pinot grigio is absolutely going on my wine list. It is a very relaxing environment. You can stop in for a quick glass or two of wine or for a fancy dinner. read more

I have been to a Lure fish bar before and was very pleased with everything that was served. Previously it was for a sponsored Yelp event in which we got to try a lot of different menu items. Lure Fishbar has this incredible seafood pasta made with bucatini pasta. I also enjoy their various sushi selections. On this occasion came for happy hour and to sample some wines. Top Albarino wines were sampled and a lot education put into the presentation. We didn't stay for dinner this time as my spouse isn't seafood crazy unless deepfried. Plus of this restaurant is quality of food and attached to 21|c museum. read more

Great service and delicious food. It's always a gamble when you eat in a restaurant in a hotel. Lure is located in 21c and it didn't disappoint. A bit pricey but going during happy hour allows you to try many things for half the cost. Try the caviar deviled eggs. Soooo good! read more

A beautiful restaurant with good service to be sure, it was strange to see it so quiet on a Friday night. We tried a few sushi options which were okay, but considerably overpriced. The only roll worth ordering is the one with the kimchi sauce on top. Unique and delicious. read more

A beautiful and spacious restaurant that I have been meaning to try for awhile. Unfortunately, the food was no good. For starters, when we sat down it smelled fishy...while I eat seafood, I don't want it to be smelling like fish. I don't want it to be smelling like anything. I tried the kenai roll (salmon), which was good but the fish didn't taste the freshest. I also had the seasonal ravioli which had mushrooms and ricotta; it was super bland - even a little salt would have gone a long way. I tried the red snapper with red curry - this was good, but again the fish didn't taste that fresh. I had some sort of pineapple non-alcoholic drink, which was okay, but watered down. The service was good, except at the end of dinner I noticed bits of a shattered glass next to me on the booth. I was worried i was sitting on a piece of glass and surprised they hadn't cleaned it properly. All in all, glad I got to try it but that was a one and done outing. read more

Came here on a Friday night visiting the city. Upscale but comfortable restaurant. The menu has lots of different seafood and meat variations, including sushi. Staff were really friendly and easy to chat with. Definitely on the pricer side but also worth it. The drink menu was very intriguing especially the Lychee martini. I ordered the Branzino St. Topez entree which was phenomenal. One of the best restaurant I experienced while visiting Chicago. read more

This is a very comfortable and classy restaurant. They have a large selection of sushi and other variations and fish. We started with the solo tower which was a selection of oysters, shrimp, and tuna tartare. Great way to start! We also had the crispy rice cakes with spicy tuna on top. We finished with a spicy tuna roll which filled us up. But we left room for refreshing mixed berry sorbet. Kate was helpful in steering us through the menu. read more

I came in for good Friday at 11 and waited till 11:30 for lunch. I really wanted to try their clam chowder but it had bacon in it. I couldn't eat meat on Friday so I ended up with lobster roll. Lobster roll was good and plenty of lobster meat. Came with chips. The slaw that came with it was surprisingly good. I don't generally get impress with slaw but this was flavorful and complimented the lobster well read more

Love Lure. I have visited over 5 times now and love the basic beach cocktails and the selection of wines. I highly recommend the house roll and the fire roll! Both are absolutely incredible. This most recent visit, I got the steak frites and was not disappointed. My husband is obsessed with the burger. The burger bun is incredibly soft!! I usually come here to celebrate occasions (aka Valentines or date night). It's on the pricey side but I do think it's worth it. It's great for date nites or places to celebrate as you can hear each other as it is rather quiet inside. If you like watching sushi be made I would recommend sitting at the sushi bar, it is fascinating to watch. read more

Exceptional food and service from start to finish. Andrew is a gem! Will definitely request his service again in the future. We thoroughly enjoyed the uni crispy rice, west coast oysters, and salmon tiradito. Every bite was delicious. My red snapper with red curry sauce was incredible. My husband had the uni bucatini which he said was decadent and wish he could have licked the plate. Cocktails came out quickly and were on point. For dessert, we had the mandarin sorbet and the cheesecake. Highly recommend both but the sorbet was surprisingly creamy which we loved. 10/10 experience. read more

Dropped in here for dinner and really loved it! The happy hour menu is fantastic too, if you just want to drop in for drinks and bites. The shrimp was amazing. For dinner I really loved the BRANZINO. It comes with Whipped Potatoes, Spinach, Crispy Capers, Citrus Brown Butter. Amazing The crispy Asian snapper is a hell of a presentation and feeds two! Really fresh. The tuna crispy rice was perfection. I could have had 20 of them. Staff was super nice and attentive. Awesome meal! read more

After attending a Yelp event here during the week, I felt it was only right to return to get a true experience of Lure Fishbar. Me and a good friend decided to come this past Saturday night for some good grub in the River North nightlife scene. The scene was very nice with the dim lights in which the place makes for a great date. We started with the Lobster Mac which was very rich and shareable. Eating it solo is a meal in itself. This lobster mac had tons of lobster in it as most places just throw tine pieces in theirs. Lure does Lobster Mac & Cheese the right way. Washed it down with a nice greek red. We then decided to move onto the pretty spicy Hellfire Roll. The roll includes spicy tuna, avocado, tempura flakes, bruleed' tuna and kimchi sauce....very delicious! We then moved onto entrees as I went with the Branzino St. Tropez which came with yummy whipped potatoes, spinach, capers and citrus brown butter. A really good dish...washed it all down with a couple glasses of Sangiovese rose'. We thought we were done until our awesome waiter Andrew asked if we wanted dessert. Good menu full of goodies and we went with a nice warm deep dish cookie topped with ice cream. Damn that was good! Was ready to lay my head on the table and sleep at that point lol! Lure is as awesome as I knew it would be. It's great for bringing friends to celebrate something, dates or a solo mission at the bar. Such a nice staff here! read more

Worth every dime! Our waiter Richard was phenomenal! His table attendants were funny and very helpful! The atmosphere was peaceful and welcoming. I was so happy with the choice to come here. The previous night we went to Siena Tavern and I was so disappointed. I was searching for good food that wasn't your average chain like STK or Ocean Prime. My husband loves fried whole snapper. My husband can't have dairy. They change the egg wash that they typically fry the fish in and they made sure there was no cross contamination (most restaurants never ever ask us about this). The blue points were very good and not briny at all. Overall, we had a wonderful experience. Food was exceptional as well as the service. read more
