Quality Crab is an insane Lincoln Park happy hour gem. Garlic shrimp, $2.50 oysters, and half priced cocktails are the highlights.All of the pastas from the orecchiette and clams is Smokey and spicy ($26.95), the blue crab fried rice is tangy and fun ($18.95), and the flat noodles with lobster are buttery and meaty.The service was A+.

I came for my birthday! I had oysters for the first time and it was delicious! The crab legs were great! The ice cream and cake. It was all good. My waiter was a beautiful human and the experience was great!

I LOVE this restaurant so much and was so sad to hear in was closing. As soon as I heard, I booked a table for one last dinner. The food was fantastic, the service was amazing (thank you, Cody!), and the place was packed. Thanks for all the great meals. So sad to see you go!

The food was good. The king crab legs we ordered were not up to par. We've had so much better at other restaurants. Our main complaint is the waitress we had. She was not happy to serve us. She really made us feel unwelcome. We all agreed that we would not return.
Our server was terrible. She was pushy and wouldn't leave us alone. We said we had been there many times but she insisted on telling us what we knew. She kept interrupting. The food was not good. I asked about shrimp tacos if they were spicy. And sauce on the side. She said not spicy but the sauce has to be on it. They were drowning in some red very spicy sauce. Totally inedible. My friends sea bass looked uncooked and awful. Had a funny taste.. she left most of it. Also all the prices are so much higher it's really not worth it. The chef there is terrible. And that server was the worst. We won't be going back. Is this a lettuce place? Really falling down on the job

On Oyster Day, this is a good place to have a meal at happy hour: each oyster goes at $0.5, that is $6 per dozen! What a bargain!

Cute little spot with fresh raw oysters and seafood galore. I ordered the scallops and they melted in my mouth. Boyfriend ordered the seafood tacos and ate them all. Service was quick and prompt. We go here regularly when it's a special night or we haven't been out in a long time - only down side which I will not ding them on stars for because seafood is just expensive - is price. It was a $250 bill before tip, but they deserved it! We will continue to come back!

We came here for happy hour and it happened to be oyster day so selected oysters were only 50 cents each! All the drinks were half off and the cocktails were pretty good. Service was a little slow because they were busy and the server apologized for it but we didn’t mind as we had our drinks while waiting. We got two and a half dozen of oysters, yummy clam chowder, fries that were cooked and seasoned perfectly, and sizzling shrimp. We could’ve skipped the shrimp though because it was pretty average. I would say the oysters tasted super fresh and the other sides were all good. I believe the price is normally 2.50-3.75 per oyster which can add up because each oyster was on the smaller side. I would still come back here and I love the area!

Don’t miss the grilled corn side dish and the coconut cake. Make sure to consider the oyster wine of the month.
The food was fantastic, I will say I loved it! It was our 1st time going and the food was amazing, we've been dying to go so that was not a let down. But the service was horrible, our waitress in particular. We came during the oyster happy hour (which the website said was till 4:30 but act ended at 4). We only had 2 min to order the oysters, so I ordered a dozen of the specialty promo ones and 3 of the other special oysters. And she walked away before I could order any classic but it was no big. When they came out they were dropped off and I noticed we were missing some. Then she couldn't count how many were missing it took her 4x and she was unsure of which were the other 3 specialty oysters and called them classic. She didn't tell us what was what so we could reorder the ones we likes. The she took my brother's order and started walking away without taking mine. I was getting frustrated at that point because we had also ordered food to go and while we were eating the to go order got dropped at the table (we were in a 2 person booth) she was so eager to move on. Then it took forever to get our check after out plates cleared we were just hanging out because she never came back to offer the check. We had to ask for it. I will say the guy clearing tables and offering water was amazing. He was on top of it. For this to be a sister restaurant of Shaws we just expected better service and it was frustrating. Not sure if we'd come back but would recommend for the food

Due to it was $.50 oyster happy hour, the place was ridiculously packed and busy. Despite having a reservation at 3:30, they did not have a table ready for us and instead put us at a bar near the hostess, which was fine if it would have not taken 15 minutes to wait in line to be seated there, which only gave us 15 minutes for happy hour pricing. In addition, we were not the only ones with reservations that ended up not having a table. If it wasn't for the limited time for the happy hour, it would have been fine, but we all set a reservations up on purpose. The employees in the kitchen and waiters were working their hearts out so they are not to blame for the situation, but the lack of the structure for the hostess staff to ensure that those who had reservations had their seats on time was unprofessional. The table times should have been limited and everyone should have been respectful with each other's time. Unfortunately, despite the $.50 oysters deal, we will not be back as there are many good restaurants in Chicago and one bad experience is all it takes in this city.

I had reservations at 3pm, didn't get seated until 25 min later. It took long for food to come out, so I couldn't take advantage of the special. Also the waiter wasn't very attentive. I felt like I was Invisible.

I had a semi private event here and the staff did an amazing job!! It was easy to set up through their website and I was reached out to via email quickly.Christina and the staff on-site made everything run smoothly. We were able to bring an outside dessert and they packaged all of our leftovers for us.The food was also amazing. Seafood was fresh and tasty and the catering menu was a great value. Cocktails were delicious, my favorite was the cape cod.Overall, we had an amazing time and I highly recommend.

Great waiter! He suggested shared appetizers for the table that were all excellent. Was always ready with another cold beer and cocktail. Head chef came out to check on us and thanked us for coming in
