Excellent meal but expensive
We were four adults on a Saturday night. The menu is not huge but we found a number of dishes that sounded appealing. The Caesar salad was big enough to share and we did so. One had raw oysters to start ($5 each!) , another had the octopus tentacle. We each ordered a main course and enjoyed it without sharing. We then shared an order of beignets for dessert; there were 6 of them dusted with powdered sugar and served with 2 small crocks of warm sauce, caramel and chocolate. We shared these as well and they were a hit. All the food was high quality, attractively plated and well-prepared. Dinner for the four of us with only 2 cocktails and no other alcohol came to $325 with tax but before tip. They add a 3% surcharge for employee health benefits or something. Service was cordial and competent. The noise level in the dining room is high even if it's not completely full. There are some outside sidewalk tables along Wells St as well if the weather cooperates. They do not offer valet parking but metered street parking within a couple blocks was easy to find.

Our party of four enjoyed our starting cocktails but thought that our appetizers and entrees were just OK. Desserts were gooey messes. Service is very good and the atmosphere looks pleasant but noise levels from other tables is very annoying, Prices are very high for the offering. None of us plan to return.

Great seafood and great atmosphere. Nice variety of appetizers and entrees. Highly recommend the seafood cavatelli, although everyone in our group loved their food as well.

After returning from our trip to Louisiana's River Road from Baton Rouge to New Orleans, my wife and I couldn't wait to visit some of the Cajun restaurants in Chicago. We started at GT Fish & Oyster, an oyster bar and seafood eatery opened in 2011 by chef Giuseppe Tentori and the celebrated Boka Restaurant Group. Located at 531 North Wells Street, at Grand, in the River North neighborhood, it is open from 5 to 9 Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and 5 to 10 on Friday and Saturday. We started with shrimp cocktail, shrimp bruschetta with avocado, toasted pistachio, grapefruit and cilantro, clam chowder with bacon and house-made oyster crackers and Caesar salad with white anchovy, brioche croutons, tomato and Caesar dressing. For an entree, my wife chose rainbow trout with petite potatoes, cipollini and trout roe buerre blanc. I opted for Mediterranean Branzino with artichoke, pommes puree and manila clams. I was introduced to Branzino in Florida a few years ago and I've been a fan of this tender and meaty and delicious sea bass ever since. For dessert, we shared large portions of key lime pie and salted caramel panna cotta with vanilla caramel glaze, prairie orchard apples and apple cider granita. In a relative short period of time, GT Fish & Oyster has emerged as one of the leading restaurants in Chicago.

We enjoyed our first visit to GT. We were there a bit early for our reservation but were cheerfully seated right away—service was excellent generally. One person had fish tacos which were good but very salty; it was a heavy hand with a sort of crunchy element in them, we thought. The fish and chips plate was superb , with very fresh fish and light batter. Didn’t explore the menu very far, hope to another time.
Be the first to ReplyNice summer meal
It had been a couple of years (at least!) since we’d been to GT Fish and Oyster, and this visit reminded us it should be in our rotation of Chicago restaurants more often. We had family visiting; they like seafood. That made GT Fish and Oyster a logical option. The location, in River North, is fine—convenient, even, if you’re staying in the Loop or off the Mag Mile, and excellent for public transit access. There’s plenty of street parking in the area. The restaurant has modern decor and nice design; given that our family members were a bit older and we wanted to have good conversation with them, we really appreciated that the restaurant wasn’t deafeningly loud, as many establishments can be. It was easy to hear one another, even as the restaurant was busy and had a good vibe. Don’t go here if you’re not a seafood lover, as the name suggests. The menu is 90% seafood. If you are a seafood lover, you’re going to find something to like! There’s an extensive raw menu; we had a dozen oysters, all excellent, and some crab (the crab was overpriced for the size of the portion, but tasted good). We appreciated that the oysters were shucked correctly and that there was a clear menu stating from where they came and previewing the flavors. Our tray featured six varieties, and they were all quite different, which made it fun. The list of entrees was manageable. Swordfish really impressed: it was perfectly cooked, and the accompanying onions and vegetables were sweet and a nice pair; the sauce work was also great. Halibut disappointed; the fish itself was under seasoned and bland. A seafood pasta fell in the middle; the seafood within it was nice, but seemed almost a distraction to the pasta with basil sauce. Nice wine list, including some lovely crisp whites to pair with raw seafood. Service was attentive and pleasant. It’s not a cheap meal, but we left feeling like we’d gotten a nice experience for the price paid.

Nice restaurant in Chicago. There is happy hours (Mon-Fri 3-6pm) for oysters, wine/beer and some dishes. Snow crab was also excellent! You’ll have a good service in addition;)
