Every Wednesday at 10:30PM they have 1/2 price Oysters. It's a good deal for Chicago, you'll pay about what you'd expect at a coastal city, between $1 to $1.75 an oyster (as of this writing.)

The oysters varieties were diverse, east coast, west coast, and overseas. There are oyster sommeliers on hand, ready to tell you about the notes of cucumber in your Penn Cove. They are master shuckers, leaving no shell fragments in any of my 20-some oysters.

My partner and I ordered several dishes, and while good (glazed cod was the highlight) they all covered up the taste of the fish. I suspect all the seafood is as good as the oysters, real sashimi grade stuff, so it makes me upset that they'd dress it up so much.

At any rate, I'm glad a place exists in Chicago where I can get diverse, well shucked oysters. I could do without all the pomp, but beggars can't be choosers. Consider me a Wednesday regular.
