Great service and friendly hostess! I sat at the bar and had the blue oysters, filet, asparagus and an old fashioned. The oysters were some of the best I have had! The filet was also excellent and cooked perfect. The asparagus and old fashioned were mediocre.

EXCELLENT from the time we sat down. Oysters on point. Spring rolls were delicious and sea bass cooked to perfection. The martini selection was fun and tasty. So glad we popped in!

This place has been pinned in my Want To Go for a few months and I took restaurant week as my opportunity. I got lychee martini/ Delaware oysters/ filet mignon with sauteed broccolini/ ny cheesecake from the restaurant week menu, totaling around 125 after tax/20% surcharge etc. Becky is SO well versed in the menu and was able to offer really valuable suggestions as I’m an oyster newbie. You can tell she cares about what she does. It felt very neighborly for someone to come in and literally greet her by name from the front door. The restaurant is beautiful, the food is phenomenal and the hospitality is incredible. The meal was great but tbh I think I’d come back just for Becky!

Very intimate and romantic atmosphere. My wife and I had reservations in Valentine’s Day and it was a perfect way to start our evening. They offer a coat check service for 3 and a parking pass for zone #1677 for 5 which helps you contest tickets from the Chicago parking authority. We started off with martinis and the SOUTHERN FRIED OYSTERS and the NEW ENGLAND CLAM CHOWDER. The fried oysters were light and flavorful and they pair it with a sauce that reminds me of a spicy ketchup. The clam chowder was standard and it prepared our palates for the entrees. We also tried the Chicago sushi roll which consisted of Bigeye tuna, salmon, yellowtail, cucumber, avocado, topped with spicy mayo.DELICIOUS! Next we ordered the GRILLED COMBO which allowed us to try 2 of each style from the grilled oysters menu. My favorite was the FIRECRACKER and I would also recommend the COH. After that we ordered from the raw bar. We tried APHRODITE and then CUPID’s ARROW. Phenomenal. To end the night, we ordered another round of martinis. Cheers to the Chicago oyster house for great customer service and delicious oysters!

If you're craving some top-notch seafood in the South Loop, Chicago Oyster House is the spot to hit up. Dropped about 120 for two of us, and it was worth every penny. We kicked things off with the Oysters Rockefeller—huge oysters loaded with spinach and cheese, absolutely killer. For the main event, we split the bone-in ribeye, cooked just right, and paired it with some grilled asparagus. The vibe is cozy, perfect for a date night or just hanging with friends. Service was on point—attentive without being in your face. Definitely adding this to my list of go-to spots in the city.
