- WWendyAtlanta •8 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoFrom the time we walked into the restaurant it was WONDERFUL! The staff was very nice and kind. The servers answered all of our questions. They made sure we had everything we needed and wanted. They knew we had a flight to catch and made sure we were able to leave in a timely fashion. Thanks to them we will be back.More infoJoe's Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab$$$$• Seafood• River North (Chicago)•4.9
- EErinChicago / Illinois •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoThis was our first visit to Shaw's and won't be the last. We sat in the oyster bar and had a great time. The service was wonderful, the drinks were delicious, and the food was spectacular. Everything we had was delicious. West Coast oysters, calamari (best I've ever had), lobster roll, shrimp linguine, and key lime pie. Not a bad bite the entire meal.More infoShaw's Crab House & Oyster Bar - Chicago$$$$• Seafood• River North (Chicago)•4.8
- EEmilyChicago / Illinois •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoThe staff was absolutely amazing. From the moment we walked in the door to the moment we left we were so impressed. Hector was our server and he was fantastic. We had a drink at the bars beforehand and our bartender Sean was so nice and made us feel welcome immediately. Great cocktails, too! We were celebrating a birthday and they addressed it immediately. I had requested by the window and they were able to do that for us. Food was very good but overall loved our experience because of the amazing staff.More infoChicago Cut Steakhouse$$$$• Steakhouse• River North (Chicago)•4.7
- JJeffGoldChicago / Illinois •46 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWe celebrated my dad’s 79th birthday and my mom’s 77th birthday, just three days apart, at Smith & Wollensky. We wanted to take them somewhere new, and the riverfront location—with valet parking and easy access—made it a perfect choice. My parents have lived on the South Side their whole lives, and my dad spent 28 years as a Chicago police officer there. He usually stayed away from downtown, so we were especially happy to find a place he really enjoyed. The wait staff was absolutely fantastic: welcoming, attentive, and on top of everything throughout the evening. And the food was stunning—every dish came out perfectly and tasted incredible. My mom was so excited that she dressed up and spent the night before reading reviews of the menu items. We all had a wonderful birthday dinner. Smith & Wollensky made the evening feel special from start to finish, and we can’t wait to come back. This place never disappoints!More infoSmith & Wollensky Steakhouse - Chicago$$$$• Steakhouse• River North (Chicago)•4.6
- AAutumnGoldChicago / Illinois •19 reviews5.0Dined on Oct 19, 2026Had a wonderful experience at Gibsons Italia! The food was delicious, and our waitress, Genevieve, was amazing. Her warmth and attentive service made the meal feel extra special by suggesting the two specials which were amazing. Great food is always a plus, but service like hers makes you want to come back. Thank you, Genevieve, for such a memorable visit!More infoGibsons Italia$$$$• Italian• River North (Chicago)•4.8
