“I stayed at Hotel 55 and received a free breakfast at Lure because I am a Marriott platinum elite member. Compared to many hotel breakfast benefits, this was a nice one. You have three options to choose from. The food was very good quality and the service was friendly and fast.”
“Today is my daughter's birthday, and we wanted to celebrate with something special. She loves her dressed oyster with caviar and her yellowtail, and we chose to try something new. The ambiance was wonderful, and it made the day even more memorable. We will definitely be returning.”
“Sip from the “Well of Wisdom” (Sake on Happy Hour menu, $10); Lure Fishbar Chicago is a strong move for a relaxed, well-executed happy hour. The crab claw and tuna platter were clean and fresh, exactly what you want to start. The calamari stood out; light, crisp, and more refined than the usual tempura approach. The cocktail sauce and dijonnaise complemented everything without overpowering. Service made the experience. Kyle at the bar was sharp, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, with a clear command of the menu and knowledge of local venues. For a Saturday afternoon into evening, the atmosphere was comfortable and easy to settle into. A place that delivers without trying too hard or a crazy door dash tip.”
“This place needs to get more traction. It is amazing. The quality of the food here is simply mind blowing”
“We had dinner at Lure Fishbar, and it was a truly pleasant discovery. We ordered the KENAI MAKI, LURE HOUSE MAKI, BURGER “BASH STYLE”, and CRAB CAKE — everything was exceptionally fresh, high quality, and delicious. It’s clear that the kitchen operates at a high level and pays close attention to detail. The atmosphere deserves special mention: calm, stylish, with great music — perfect both for a cozy dinner and a relaxed evening with friends. It’s easy to unwind here and simply enjoy the moment. The prices fully match the quality of the food and service, and our overall impression was entirely positive. Definitely a place you’ll want to come back to again.”
“Had a great dinner at Lure Fishbar in Chicago. The atmosphere is stylish and cozy, perfect for a night out or a date. The seafood was incredibly fresh, especially the oysters and sushi, and everything was beautifully presented. Service was friendly and attentive without being pushy, and the cocktails were excellent too. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients. Definitely one of the best seafood spots downtown.”
“Blown away by this restaurant. We’re staying in Hotel 55 over NYE which is attached and my husband had oysters for his breakfast hahah he loved everything. I came alone for dinner and the Maine-style lobster roll was spectacular with unique slaw and warm kettle chips. The bun was crazy good and lovely service paired with beautiful ambiance. So happy”
“Fantastic service, great atmosphere, amazing food and drinks. Definitely recommend!”
