Food is consistently good, however, would like to see Shaws offer a better bread option rather than the Parker rolls. We had the twin lobster tails. It wasn't accompanied by any sides included which makes it pricey. My friend & I purposely made reservations to sit outside on the patio as it was a lovely day & it was offered as an option on the website. When we arrived we were very disappointed that they wouldn't seat us outside. On leaving there were 2 people being served outside! Wish we would have gone somewhere else which honored reservation choices.

Loved this experience! My husband and I started with a dozen oysters and cocktails. The Broken Oar was a fantastic afternoon drink. For lunch, he had 2 different sushi rolls. He can't decide which one is his favorite - they were both delicious. I had the signature seafood salad. It was filling and the crab and shrimp were fresh (and clearly cleaned in house as I found a few tiny shell fragments). Service was relaxed and helpful. It was such a lovely lunch - I hope we get an opportunity to come back soon.

Another fine dining experience. Seated promptly in the requested area. Mike was our server. Outstanding. Food quality was, as always, excellent. Delivery was timely but not rushed. Attention to our table was appropriate and not intrusive. Love this place.

Love the old school Rat Pack aesthetic. This is a really nice restaurant. Attractive, great food, and the staff is so professional and fun. This is our favorite in the Lettuce Entertain You group.

Shaw's Schaumburg is one of our favorite restaurants. Unfortunately, our service was very slow on Friday night. Clearly there were not enough waiters. Food is always great. LEYE needs to reconsider the customer experience for using loyalty points. Too many restrictions. I feel as if I must argue with waiters just to use a gift card or birthday points. Am I valued or not?

Shaw's is always a favorite when we are in the area, and it never disappoints. Halibut was best I have had among several first rate restaurants within the last month, and service was prompt and courteous. They also seem to have improved the wine list by the glass. I had several excellent choices, and the Sancerre was also the best I had found in several weeks. And, they gave me a nice birthday treat!

This was by far the worst food I've ever had. If I could give zero stars I would. The pasta was so old and dry. The shrimp was cooked to long and was rubbery. I'm very disappointed to spend $240 on food I could of went to red lobster with the quality of food that I received. I normally don't write reviews but I to speak my mind

Food is always well prepared. Service is outstanding. Mike is the perfect waiter. He anticipates every need. Knowledgeable and personal. This is a great place for upscale seafood and a place to bring a spouse or date

Haven't been here as often as I used to come. It had just become inconvenient - nothing to do with the quality of the food and service. Had family in from out of state and we dined at Shaw's last night. Same excellent food, same quality service. So glad things haven't changed. I'll be putting them back on my "regular" schedule.

We were greeted by our favorite host. Juan then were escorted to our favorite bartender/server Hiram.  I've never seen a bartender/server work so hard and maintain such a warm smile and perfect service! Asta walks around to greets every table to make sure that all of our experiences met our expectations. This location really is our favorite. We go for every anniversary or anything special we are celebrating!!!
First time at Shaw's Schaumburg, happy to explore a bit. Service was outstanding; classy spot ! Split the caprese salad and shrimp scampi. Entrées halibut and jumbo lump crab cake; both great ! Happy to go back soon.

We have eaten at the restaurant many times before and the food was not up to its usual standards. In addition, the service was not very good. we felt rushed throughout the meal. He kept asking us if we were ready to order every couple of minutes, despite still having open menus. We had one diner that was only drinking water and it was never filled. He was also closed doors to the area of the restaurant we were sitting in, clearly as a signal for us to hurry up and leave. Not a great experience!

Our dinng experience at Shaw's Crab house was wonderful! We asked to be seated at their beautiful outdoor dining area. We chose Haddock Fish from their dinner menu. It was delicious!
Karl
Best service, ever! What a fine time with a small group of friends with a fabulous server on the patio on a warm-ish summer evening. The menu was wide and varied (of course, seafood-forward) and had something for everyone. The calamari and soft shell crab appetizer were really tender and amazing. All our main dishes were excellent. The wine list had an array of domestic and international selections that covered the gamut of price and varietals. A total win for our team! We had a great time chatting with each other and our fabulous server who was engaging and kind, funny and whimsical. Def will be back if he can be our server yet again!
Joanne
All the food was delicious and plentiful. Quite pricey but it was a special occasion so we thought it was worth the price. Server was attentive but busy but we weren't in a hurry so not a problem.
