ISC ChicagoJune 11, 2012Wonderful food, excellent service, spectacular view; a bit pricey but we had a 20% discount with our Shakespeare tickets, so it turned out to be very reasonable.- Grainne ReganJune 21, 2016King crab and calamari were delicious with the roasted veg and potato gratin. It's overpriced though and thought the service could be a little more special.
Ludovic D'auriaSeptember 30, 2013I tried the scallop with white juice (almond milk?) @ Chicago gourmet and it told me: go try the restaurant
- Justeen KellerOctober 10, 2011Awesome view and excellent food!! The potstickers were fabulous for an appetizer. And if you love burgers, the build your own burger is Oh so good!!
Shakira Fuchu Mike ParksJuly 18, 2013Get the seafood chopped salad. It's jam packed with crab, calamari, salmon, and shrimp! So delish!
eric bornemannAugust 11, 2019Nice tables outside for ok if unimpressive food. Crab cakes are decent and it’s a very kid friendly place. There are worse options on the pier.
Matt LabernikJuly 15, 2012Recommend the crab cake sandwich or the chicken sandwich. Both are delicious and were cooked to perfection
Rick BendixMay 25, 2019The view is beautiful and the location makes it a good place to dine before attending a show at the Chicago Shakespeare Theater. However, the seafood is mediocre and overpriced.
Tim GJuly 14, 2011Sit in the bar if the wait is long. You still have a full menu and a seat at the floor to ceiling glass windows overlooking the pier.
Rebecca WJune 25, 2011Get the tuna and save room for the pineapple upside-down cake with coconut gelato. Delicious!
William —July 18, 2012The food's somewhere in the high-average range, but the view makes this place much more worth it.

Kelen EvansJune 1, 2012The lobster corn bisque would be greater if it actually had corn and lobster in it
Stephanie DiazOctober 5, 2011Although there's a beautiful view window-side, don't sit near a window when the sun is out or you will melt
Mark HowardSeptember 2, 2012Zero beers on tap. :( They have 17 beers in bottles... Which would make one ASSUME there would be a "good" beer in the bunch.. think again.
Kate PanceroOctober 22, 2011An experience best left for the visiting crowds. Maybe this was just a one time thing, but we had customer service and the food wasn't worth it. However, the pineapple upside down ... amazing.

- Mark HowardSeptember 2, 2012Give the small plates on the specials menu a 2nd look.. lots of great options.
Scott RussellMarch 12, 2011Do a king crab leg and lobster tail combo. Oh and the blue point oysters are fresh fresh fresh!
- Stephanie DiazOctober 5, 2011Crab gumbo is good, fish & chips are tasteless, needs loads of salt, lemon, & malt vinegar for them to taste like something
- Mark HowardSeptember 2, 2012Go upstairs & sit in the bar.. full menu, higher % of window seats & better service.
Jen L.July 5, 2010for the 4th of July, come to the bar and watch the fireworks. Perfect view and it's not crowded!
CassandraJuly 15, 2012Terrible service. Went in for $1 oysters & were ignored. Asked for someone twice, waited 20 minutes & finally left. We told the server we were leaving & he couldn't have cared less. Steer clear.
- Mark HowardSeptember 2, 2012Poor beer selection. Nothing on tap and the bottled selection leans toward pale beers. No amber or brown ales.
Kate HamblinNovember 29, 2013THIS WAS THE WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY ENTIRE LIFE. Before I had left (paid in cash and hadn't left a tip yet) the server called me out in front of the entire place for not leaving a tip. Humiliating.
David RosenbergNovember 10, 2011Dropped over $30 and left hungry. Might need to grab some fries down the pier at Mickey D's
