Everything was great. When we arrived we were taken directly to the table as it was already set up. Our server was very pleasant and helpful with our food order. My food was excellent, and a nice size portion.

Lobster Week! So delicious. Shaw’s prepares each dish when ordered, so this grew-up-in-CT person could order her lobster roll with just melted butter, not celery as mayo as the menu indicated. It was perfection. My grandsons had two varieties of lobster sushi and raves about them. The seafood gumbo was the best we’ve ever enjoyed. Now I have to figure how to make it for thanksgiving. The chocolate cake was sublime.

Food was great. Our server Luis c was fabulous. But when are you getting rid of that ridiculous 3% service fee. A real money grab.

Food and service where good. However I was served an entrée with mushrooms after I specified I was allergic to mushrooms. They fixed it and brought a fresh dish however if I wasn't paying close attention I would have been very sick or perhaps could have been hospitalized. Restaurant must pay better attention to details!

We enjoyed Lobsterfest and, as always, Shaw's is a great Seafood restaurant to experience. Our server, Tim, was outstanding as well.

We celebrated out 48th wedding anniversary and everything at Shaw's was top notch! The food, the service, and the atmosphere were just superb. Our waiter surprised us with a special piece of chocolate cake to celebrate our anniversary.
