    Arrived at 730pm, 5 tables in the restaurant, and only one more that was sat during our 2 hours there, which seemed odd for a Saturday night. Quiet atmosphere. Menu seemed stronger on the raw, whereas the entree side seemed like a later decision. We got the ichi grilled oysters, which were delightfully flavorful. We then got the rock n roll sushi roll, it was just OK; seemed the rice was under seasoned. The garden salad was a beautiful presentation with a miso-ginger dressing. Our final course was the seafood boil with clams, mussels, whole shrimp, and 1/2# snow crab legs in a spicy beer broth. The broth was too spicy for my wife and had too much allspice - would have rather seen this in classic cajun style broth or lemongrass-cilantro broth. I do have to say the service was good (our server seemed newer) and the server assistant was very good making sure waters and plates were promptly taken away. We did not indulge in dessert, but with 2 people, everything listed above + 20% service charge (for any size party denoted on menu) was $220. On our reservation it was denoted as our anniversary - did not expect anything, however, acknowledgement is why it's on OpenTable.

    The Chicago Oyster House should have good oysters, they do. Also, great value on prime steaks.

    Love the grilled oysters as usual. Enjoyed sushi rolls. Don’t appreciate the automatic 20% service charge for a party of two.
