They were very busy due to the Elton John concert and checked with each table to see if they were in a rush (to get to the concert)

Chicago Oyster House — dependable japanese in South Loop. The room is built for conversation, not crowds. Strong bar program alongside the food. "He got the sea bass (roasted) for an entree with was so buttery and cooked perfectly" — Becca [$$]

The restaurant was very nice inside. The service was slow but it was a busy night. I thought food was worth the wait. My husband got the bone in ribeye cooked perfectly. I got the clam chowder and sea scallops. The chowder was ok standard. The sea scallops were good. We got the Alaskan oysters - the red wine vinegar was mild in flavor. I liked the cocktail sauce and horseradish. Our friends got the Big Tuna and the Salmon with mint and basil. It was pricey but very delicious and good service.

The establishment provided an exceptional experience, characterized by an outstanding ambiance, delectable cuisine, and exemplary customer service. The calamari, in particular, was among the finest I have encountered.
