    Food was excellent. The service was slower than it should have been. Had to ask multiple times for beverage refills. Not disturbing enough to prevent a return trip, but I've come to expect more at Shaw's.

    Dom the moment e arrived we knew we’d picked a great place for our first night in Chicago. We had a mocktail and a glass of red whilst waiting for our table. Lovely decor and ambience. Our waiter was very helpful and talked us through the menu. Food was outstanding. We had calamari, fried shrimp and crab linguine. They gave us a complimentary slice of key lime pie. Oh my god this dessert was amazing. We were so full after dinner we were going to skip dessert and this arrived!! It would have been rude not to eat it. The whole experience has made a great start for our 4 nights stay.

    Steakhouses in Chicago are a dime a dozen which makes it hard to choose one over the other. Mastro’s has never disappointed. They check all the boxes and do so to be among the top 5 in my book. Thanks to the crew there for helping my family get out the door quickly for a play last night!

    Incredible food and service, great atmosphere. We had the curry lobster and miso cod, along with a few apps that were recommended and spectacular as well (crab de jongue, crispy tuna rice, and truffled eggs). Will definitely return!

    We started a new tradition going to a fancy dinner on Christmas Eve. This was hands down the best dinner. From bringing apples and carrots as an appetizer for my kids to the fantastic service and absolutely delicious dinner. The place was so busy but you couldn’t tell with how quickly the food came out. It was the best Christmas Eve!
