This place is wonderful! We average about once a month here and never get tired of it. First off when you call for reservations they see your previous preferences on their computer and they try to accommodate them. This goes along way in ensuring that the maitre'd (Tricia) knows your likes and dislikes and she can make sure your evening goes smoothly. And when you get there she also makes sure if you have to wait that she keeps you updated on the status of the table. She doesn't leave you in limbo. She also makes an effort to go around to all the tables to see how everyone is doing & if they need anything. Our all time favorite server is Maria E. She is one of the best servers we have ever had anywhere. She's professional and knows her stuff. We have asked her questions about different oysters and she can describe each one to you and once she knows what you like, she has no problem letting the kitchen know and then customizing your order to your tastes. She also knows the wine menu and the entree menu. She always seems super busy, but yet she's efficient and can do multiple tasks and therefore never leaves any of her tables waiting for her attention. We have received equally great attention from other servers, but she's the one we always seemed to get (not that we are complaining, she's great!). The fish is always incredible! It's so hard to pick one when they are all so good. Their basic house salad is really incredible tasting and the sides are absolutely huge. Both the house salad and sides are enough for 2. It is a pricey night out, but it's such a great experience it is worth it. Shaw's is excellent for a date night because it is slighty on the dressy side and the lighting is soft yet adequate. The main dining room is always busy, yet it has good enough acoustics so you never have to raise your voice or strain to hear. We love this place!
