The fried snapper and fried rice is a must try!!! If you like martinis then you have to get a sidecar. The aesthetics is appealing.

First time dining at Lure and it will definitely not be our last. The ambience and entire service team were warm, inviting, and engaging. Our server, Jake, was great with his recommendations and even while having another large table at the same time as us he never missed a beat. Our waters were kept full, our wine was kept chilled and poured. The food was amazing! Thank you! read more

Amazing! Service was excellent and the food was delicious. Really nice place, but did not feel out of place bringing our kids. read more

Lure Fishbar - Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The Lure House roll isn't as described on DoorDash. It has eel sauce and a glob of mayo on it. I would not have ordered that had I known. The tuna was fishy also. The deviled eggs were good, but also not as described. The menu said they came with fried oysters and they came with caviar. Lure has a lot to figure out before we will come back. read more

Excellent. The Branzino was to die for and the roasted chicken done perfectly. The only small complaint (very small) was the Caesar salad. Too heavy on the anchovies and the vinegar, and the cheese crisps were almost too hard to eat. The wait staff are the best. Attentive, friendly. Great ambience.we will be back. read more

I was visiting Chicago for a long weekend and bookmarked a few spots for happy hours, etc. Lure seemed promising and had good reviews. I had a glass of wine and a shrimp po'boy slider, which was very good. However, the calamari was why I gave the poor rating. It was greasy and unimaginative. Sure, calamari appetizers are common, but this was so bad that I only had two and left the rest of the plate unfinished. In retrospect, I should have ordered two sliders and skipped the calamari. Good service. read more

Flashy sushi bar-- found plastic in our roll. Just not really a place to go if you want authentic Japanese fare.

We really enjoyed our meal here. Wide range of seafood options. Definitely try the deviled caviar eggs. Great service and a comfortable, aesthetically pleasing atmosphere. Prices are appropriate and they know how to make a proper cocktail. read more

It's a very nice place. I'm just giving 4 stars because I didn't like one of the sushi rolls. But the rest of the food, service and the ambience was great. read more

The food and ambiance were great... They have a great happy hour menu. When in town will definitely go back.

I had a wonderful experience at Lure Fishbar. I was staying at the hotel on site, so it made for an easy decision on where to eat. I sat at the bar, as it was just myself dining. The bartender Michael was awesome! His service and menu expertise were very impressive! I'm glad I found this gem, I'll definitely be visiting again when I'm in Chicago. Thank you to the awesome staff read more

Lure Fishbar - Steamed snapper was amazing!! - Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The service is always fantastic, accommodating and the food is delicious. The menu has something for everyone

Had a business dinner here. Good front of house service. Large rooms and nice bar. Great menu. Sushi and rolls were very good and come out fast. The seafood entrees were nice and fresh. A variety of shareable sides and starters. Wine list was good with reasonable prices particularly red vintages. I liked the music they streamed. It was not too loud to have a convo read more

The sushi is super fresh here! The hostess was a little bit rude and the setup when you first walk in is a little awkward. You have to turn the corner to find the host stand. I like how the happy hours are also on the weekend. The restaurant area itself is pretty dark but I enjoy the ambience. Waiter was super attentive as well as the bussers. Would definitely come back! read more

My wife and I met a high school friend for dinner at Lure Fishbar. I started with the clam chowder, which was tasty, although the potatoes were a bit more al dente than I would have preferred. The Sushi and Sashimi entree I had was excellent and enough to be filling. Our service from Andrew was exactly what I prefer: efficient without hovering. read more

Went for restaurant week but ended up getting the sea urchin pasta off the main menu. It was really really good! Service was good management was working and checking on staff and guests. The other guest did get items off restaurant week and sushi rolls! The sushi was surprisingly really really amazing! Love to go back and try more items. Ambience was cozy and relaxing and they let you pick your tables on their online reservation bookings app. which I thought was very creative and nice to offer read more

We came here because of restaurant week but we were familiar with the brand of hotels, which we adore, Lure is housed in. We were greeted in a kind and friendly manner and seated quickly for lunch. Our waiter was equally jovial. The service was great, we felt attended to at all times, no problems with water refills or anything we needed at all. I started with the squash soup which was fantastic and really stands out as being special. That is to say that, frankly, I don't recall what else we enjoyed but suffice it to say it was all quite good. We will definitely be back! read more

I visited lure bar last year (2021) for thanksgiving and it was 5/5 stars. The ambiance was great, drinks were top notch, food was amazing, and service was pristine. This year, it's gone down hill. It was clear they made some changes to management. Drinks were meh, service was meh, food was hit and miss; oysters and sushi were amazing - high quality and the only thing worth your money here - but the steamed snapper was a joke and our $25 old fashions were below subpar. read more

What a surprise! Date night, we choose sushi and was not disappointed. Lure's was clean, stylish, quiet (we were able to enjoy conversation). The staff was attentive and helpful. The food was delicious!!! I'd definitely go again. read more

Decided to try this new place during Restaurant Week. I highly recommend it for very tasty food! Lunch portions are the same for dinner but the dinner menu has some extra items. I'm excited to go back and try more of the menu. Everything we had was wonderful and flavorful. read more

This restaurant is fabulous. Excellent chef, staff and service. Everything was delicious

John was our server and though he recommended Uni (which I think is absolutely absurd because anyone who has had sea urchin knows it is very specific), he was fun and easy going. My girlfriends enjoyed their red snapper for 2 and the berry sorbet was great...but they're charging $9 for 1 scoop which is wild. All in All it was a lovely dining experience. Thanks John! Get the humble bee cocktail;) read more

Loved the ambiance, lots of space between the tables so you don't feel crammed. The crispy rice appetizer was stupidly good. Sushi was great - will definitely be back. read more

We met Chef John outside of the restaurant earlier in the day. He gave us his card but was not pushy. We brought a group of 6 in for dinner and we were all completely blown away! This was a high end meal!!! I tried three different types is Sushi and loved all of them. I would recommend this place to everyone!! read more

We were in Chicago for a few days, and we wanted a seafood platter. This was the smallest seafood platter I have ever seen. Everything was so small, and they put 2 seafood salads on it to make it seem full. Not worth $95 for sure. We were very disappointed. Apart from that, the service, ambiance, and location were perfect! read more

Great location, friendly service and wonderful food/drinks. We wholeheartedly recommend Lure Fishbar!

Everything about Lure was great. Andrew, our server, gave us exceptional service. The food was outstanding, the tuna on crispy rice, and both our sushi rolls were delicious. The Miso Salmon was one of the best preparations of salmon I have ever had, so tasty. We loved the ambiance of Lure and will return. read more

I went to Lure Fishbar in Nyc. It was great. I never thought the Chicago location would beat it, BOY was I wrong? The place was beautiful, Saturday night was rocking. The skinny gorgeous hostess blew us away. I didn't have a chance to catch her name... She was fab! Thank you for a wonderful night! read more

Empty restaurant for a reason. Seafood in Chicago already scared me. But sushi no way. Food all tasted artificial. No real seafood here. Steak overcooked. Fair at best. read more

We were excited to try this place as it is in our neighborhood. We were looking for a great high quality seafood place and this one fit the bill! We sat at the sushi bar and really enjoyed the interaction with the chef and got to try some very fresh pieces. We were also super impressed with the wine list. It is diverse but not overwhelming and has some real gems on it. We will definitely be back. read more

Wonderful service! Richard was my server and he was amazing. The food was fantastic and my old fashion was delicious. I will definitely be back! I cannot speak highly enough of Richard. he was excellent. Christian seated me and thanked me for coming in. The restaurant is very welcoming and caterer to my accommodating to my onion and garlic sensitivity . The salmon waa cooked to perfection and the tuna sushi that Richard recommended was so yummy. You will not be disappointed with Lure Fishbar. read more

We thoroughly enjoyed Lure Fishbar Chicago located adjacent and attached, via a curtained doorway to the 21C Museum Hotel. How convenient! The ambience, the service, the food and beverages were par excellante. We loved the low lighting and the wonderfully eclectic music as we sipped amazingly balanced and creative craft cocktails. When I did not know what "lychee" was, our knowledgeable and accommodating server, Matthew brought a couple pieces out to us to try. Now, I KNOW lychee (and the Lychee Up cocktail was terrific)! I enjoyed my fresh, flavorful kale Caesar salad and a most wonderful tuna tataki. My companion's Butternut Squash soup was rich, creamy and bursting with flavor. He enjoyed his Rainbow Sushi too. A terrific "egg bouche" treat with a caviar sprinkle whetted our palate for the finale. The warm dark chocolate brownie and ice cream with strong, smooth, hot coffee and the house made coffee liquor. Goodness, we dined well! read more

The food was excellent. I had the NY Strip that was perfectly prepared with garlic mash potatoes and garlic string beans. My husband had the steamed snapper that was to die for. We walked in with no reservation. Here's the secret. Dine in the bar area which is cozier and not as loud as the formal dinning area. Enjoy! read more

Great food! Fresh and delicious! Romantic and Intimate atmosphere The Best Drinks!! Very interesting with complicated flavors. TOP NOTCH!! read more

Overall, food was subpar for the price. Our total bill was around $220 (before tax) for the two of us. Atmosphere was also subpar, thought the service was good. For the main course we ordered the tuna tataki appetizer, sushi+sashimi combo with the kenai roll and the hellfire roll. The signature rolls were good, however there was little flavor beyond the fish. The king salmon sushi/sashimi also had an under layer of skin still attached which was a little disheartening as it was firm and we expected it to be a cleaner cut. The tuna tataki was delightful, but for the price of $23 we expected more than the small portion we received. Drink-wise we split a glass of wine and three of the sea plane cocktails. The sea plane cocktails were delicious with fruity undertones, despite costing $15 each for about a shot worth of liquid. We also ventured to try out the dessert. We ordered the chocolate cake, which to my surprise was more like a deconstructed s'more than the dark chocolate I expected. It was very average taste wise, however the portion was large enough that the two of us couldn't finish it, which was a nice change from the small portions we had received earlier. The location is nice, and we were able to sit in the lounge while we waited for our reservation. However, once in the main part of the restaurant, the music was so loud that people had to shout in order to hear each other and the restaurant was quite dark (dark enough that pictures of the food were impossible without flash). However, the servers were welcoming and attentive. read more

Went to Lure for dinner last evening. The atmosphere is really hopping! Music and lots of chatter. Low lighting. Good martinis and a great wine list. We had the crab cakes and they were great. We ran out of time because we had plans for the evening so we will have to go back and try some other items on the menu. read more

I always go to Lure in Soho NYC so I was thrilled when they opened right around the corner from me here in Chicago. The oysters & stone crab claws were fresh & delicious as was the Sushi. The red snapper was so good ! I highly recommend it ! -The service was great & the sleek modern ambience with low lighting & nice music added to the evening . I will make Lure my local go to spot --welcome to the neighborhood ! read more

ATTENTION PLEASE! I found this restaurant today, when looking for a good restaurant for lunch. Instead, I found an utterly outstanding restaurant and had the best food and waitstaff service than I've had in a very long time. If you like seafood and can appreciate excellent, refined, food then eat here now. The chilled soup was like a vichyssoise but with interesting updates, using corn, asparagus and magical flavors (not at all like corn chowder). This is truly unique and perfect for hot days or as amuse bouche. The branzino was perfectly prepared with a beautiful presentation. I can't wait to return to try the red snapper with bok choy. I felt like a light desert so had the sorbet, which had a smooth, almost creamy, texture and pure flavors. Eat here now, before everyone finds out and you have wait a long time for a reservation. read more

5 stars for service. 5 stars for food. No stars for toilets. Fa-bu-lous!! Matthew was our waiter. He was friendly and the service was AMAZING! The food was absolutely delicious. My party and I ordered tuna tacos, clam chowder, lobster Mac and cheese, lobster roll with fries, rainbow roll, lure house and dynamite roll. The tuna tacos were delicious. Very crisp and fresh products used. You can take every flavor without the fishy flavor overpowering the whole dish. The clam chowder was too hot but wait 5 secs and it will not burn your tongue. Plenty for it to be an entree. The lobster Mac and cheese was excellent. Again, you can taste all of the flavors. The cheese wasn't too cheesy or thick, absolutely perfect. Plenty of fat chunks of lobster. By the time the lobster roll and fries got to the table I was taped out but still managed to eat half a sandwich. The roll was perfectly buttered and toasted. The sandwich was filled with a lot of lobster. The lobster salad didn't get overpowered by the sauce or any of the other products in it. The rainbow, lure house and dynamite rolls were great. The lure house roll being the tastiest followed by the dynamite and the rainbow was just ok. Pricey expect to spend at least $300/2 people. The only negative was the bathroom. Located on the hotel side of the building. Not clean. Only 1 toilet stall with toilet paper. No paper towels. An old disgusting hand dryer and the tampon receptacle is super close to your face when sitting on the toilet. You get a very disgusting whiff of whatever is dying in there. read more
