We've lived in Chicago for 20 years and this was our first time dining at Shaw's and boy was it worth the wait! Everything was just perfect. It's a really hard balance, from a service perspective, to be available but also not intrusive. The staff here pulls that off flawlessly! The food was also very good (be sure to get the Au Gratin potatoes as a side). Just an awesome meal, will be back again for a special occasion.
