Very friendly and helpful staff. Seafood was outstanding. Oyster variety of British Columbia, New Brunswick and Cape Cod was delicious and informative. Best octopus dish I have enjoyed…Perfectly prepared with yogurt and fresh beets. Salmon prepared with crisp skin and vey pink center as I requested and enjoy. Complemented food with a smooth Oregon Chardonnay that had right touch of oak. Lively but quiet enough for a conversation. Very cool and functional “boomerang” table in bar area

By far the best meal we had in Chicago. 5 stars DO NOT do our experience justice. From the service, to the atmosphere and attention to detail GT is in a category of it’s own. The Mussels were absolutely incredible ! We don’t normally do desert but glad we did……ridiculously good. Thanks CT and all the staff, please open in Toronto soon !!!!

The crab cake will change your life. This is five stars. Not much of an oyster guy, but even those were amazing. Everything, food, drinks, service professionals,ambiance, all good. This establishment was firing on all cylinders that night.

I am absolutely in love with this place! I ordered the crab cake, oysters, and had lobster roll + black truffle and mussels as my entrees.
My favorite were definitely the crab cake and lobster roll. I am so in love with the pickled cauliflower it came with. The texture of the cake was phenomenal. It has that thick and rich flavor, and crispy texture on the outside. Adding the sauces it came on the side, and a bit of the pickled cauliflower as a palette cleanser definitely won it for me!
The lobster roll was just dynamite. I added the black truffle because I’m simply obsessed with truffle, and I was lost for words of how good this dish was.
Overall, I will come back to this place when I visit Chicago again!

This place is absolutely incredible. We came here to celebrate our 8th anniversary and could not have picked a better place!
The food was phenomenal and the service was the best we've ever had. Everything was cooked to perfection and the servers were incredibly attentive and helpful.
Thank you so much an amazing experience!

I had high hopes but GT Fish & oyster turned out to be average for me. For appetizers the shrimp bruschetta was very mediocre, the avocado on it tasted like generic grocery store guac. Shrimp cocktail and oysters were the best out of everything we ordered. Lobster Mac was super dry with not much cream to it. Lobster roll and fish entree were just okay— nothing to write home about.

My husband and I came for Valentine’s Day weekend dinner and it did not disappoint! Every course was incredible. We ordered oysters and crab claws for starters. Branzino and trout for main. Branzino here was the best I’ve ever had. For dessert we got the key lime pie and beignets. 10/10. Will 100% come back and am excited to try the other GTs.

Came here for Valentine’s Day and only available seating was at the bar but it was so worth it. We had an awesome time chatting with one of the female bartenders and all of our food was to die for! Can’t wait to come back.

100% recommend. We are in Chicago celebrating our honeymoon and wanted a good seafood dinner. Put in a reservation for 7:30, got there a bit early, and they seated us right away. The food, staff, and cocktails were phenomenal. The GM Max gave us such a personal experience and our server Alex was extremely attentive. Make sure you get the octopus, oysters, and key lime pie. You will not regret your choice!

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary at GT Fish & Oyster as we had always heard great things about the place, but finally decided to check it out for the special occasion. We had started off with six oysters and the clam chowder. The oysters were fresh, but unfortunately a bit small. The clam chowder was great, and they can split it into two bowls which was convenient.
For the main courses we had the fish and chips, mussels, and roasted broccoli. Overall, the food was good, nothing spectacular, also $$$, and I would skip the broccoli...but the service is where this place really shines. Our waitress was phenomenal, always making sure to check in with us to see if we needed anything or how was the food was. She was even kind enough to bring us celebratory bubbles which was awesome. Would I come back? Yes, but next time I would try and come back for their happy hour or brunch.
