Shaw’s Crab House is two restaurants in one - a jazzy, sophisticated seafood restaurant and a carefree, lively oyster bar. Featuring a fantastic selection of seasonal crab, top-grade fish and shellfish, several varieties of just-shucked oysters and inventive sushi and sashimi combinations, Shaw’s is a classy spot known for their quality food. All of the seasonally fresh fish is chosen with consideration for the environment and often comes from fishing families Shaw’s knows personally. That’s not to say meat lovers aren’t catered to as well. Hand‑selected USDA prime steaks are also on the menu - satisfying every taste out there. Shaw’s also takes pride in the depth and breadth of its wine list, organized for easy selection by taste characteristics.
