“Chicago Fish & Chicken Grill has the back cake ever so fresh, soft, moist, and yummy....stop in today to grab you a slice.“

“Awesome food, it was my first time ever hearing about and trying alligator cheesecake, but it is one of my foods now. Great service. The band that began playing around 8:30pm sounded like it was going to be a great time, but it was unfortunately time for us to leave. Only knock against it is the table we were sat at was directly under a heater, so we were all sweaty and felt we were getting slow cooked.“

“Everything we ordered was delicious and perfectly spiced. Service was friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back to try some more dishes.“

“We had a table reserved and arrived a few minutes early. The place was packed but they immediately seated us and were very attentive.

I highly recommend!“

“Good music and atmosphere..
I was solo at the bar for music, food & drink. Service was not feasible though..! Asked for menu three times, raised my hand another three times to order to catch the attention of the bartender. For the second drink, another two attempt to catch the bartender...well, is a good venue however was tiring for me...“

“My boyfriend and I went on a double date to the aquarium and we’re planning on going somewhere else. We looked across the water and decided last minute to hop in. The inside is very vintage, white tablecloth, but the vibes are very cozy and casual. We were served by the ever so lovely Sierra. AND SHE DESERVES HER FLOWERS AND A RAISE. She suggested this amazing wine called the menage a trois, and so kind and personable. We were conversing after the bill and she left a drop of wisdom. “I treat others how I want to be treated.” We will definitely be back soon. 🤍 Oh and get the crawfish étouffée, and the crab spinach dip! FIRE.“

“I’d like to express my appreciation with the Storming Crab staff. My girlfriend and I visited Storming Crab on Valentines Day. My girlfriend experienced a medical emergency that call for an ambulance response. The staff displayed genuine concern for my girlfriend. They provided attention that made my girlfriend feel at ease until the arrival of medical personnel. While emergency personnel provided needed attention to my girlfriend, I attempted to pay my bill. The on-duty manager took care of my bill. I was so thankful for the attention the staff gave my girlfriend during the entire experience. Thank you Storming Crab, and continue your superb service.

Everyone we encountered was so friendly. Our sever was Steven, we cannot compliment him enough. Cannot recommend enough! Thank you for such a special Valentines 🩷“

The staff at this restaurant went over and above for us, especially Michelle and one other server, I am sorry that I couldn’t see his name tag and I didn’t want to be rude. They were both super friendly and helpful and this place should be glad that they have such wonderful staff to help people out. I will definitely be back and will be glad to return to this hotel and restaurant. Thank you all for being so helpful and kind.“
