"Devon Seafood is a favorite local restaurant. Friendly professional hostesses on reception. Food is very good indeed. Service is excellent and server Tameka is superb. Atmosphere in the restaurant is cool and refined with a very nice eclectic mix of patrons. Fine separate dining areas, almost Japanese in outward appearance but without having to sit cross legged on the floor! The wine room is also excellent for good-sized parties incorporating a higher degree of privacy. Devon Seafood's Tuna Tartare makes a great appetizer and the Seafood Mixed Grill or Seared Ahi Tuna make excellent entrees. A-Z Oregon Pinot Noir by the glass is good. Devon Seafood Grill puts other well know Seafood restaurants to shame!"

"We went here for my graduation dinner, and it was also a special occasion dinner, as my parents were meeting my girlfriend's parents for the first time as well. Our food was outstanding, and the fish was fresh and beautifully cooked. The char-crusted ahi was the standout dish, and the tuna tartare and crab cake appetizers were also amazing. My dad had the ribeye, which he also said was fantastic. We had wonderful service, and it was a great site for being able to talk amongst the 6 of us at the table. The ambiance is great, and our experience overall was amazing. I definitely will be back!"

"When ordering Lobster Mac N Cheese from this restaurant just know it will be large on the Mac and invisible on the Lobster. Other restaurants do a better job of you actually seeing and tasting the lobster in the dish. The same holds true for other dishes that have seafood in them..........not much on the seafood part of it."

"We arrived a few minutes early, the hostess looked up our reservation and asked if we wanted a table in the bar, because the table was not ready. She took us to a tiny pub table in the corner of the bar. When we stated that there were four of us, she said, "Oh, I thought your reservation was for two." She then walked us to a booth right next to the servers station that was so dark, you couldn't even read the menu. We decided to wait for the table downstairs. After 10 minutes, we were walked downstairs, and given a table for six, and told we could wait there for the rest of our party! Why so much confusion about our reservation? Not sure why we even had to wait, because the restaurant was fairly empty. Our server was not very attentive."

"Quiet, not rushed, and excellent fish. Waiters were attentive, not intrusive. The decor is dark (basement tables) or dim as you wish. The best part is that the architecture has accomplished quiet sound management so it is easy to hear your guest(s) even with a relatively noisy large group next to you."

"My family and I went to Devon last week for dinner without grand child. Everything went very well we sat down stairs and had excellent service. The food was very good we all had seafood. My seafood grill was excellent and done to my expectations. The Mac and cheese with lobster was superb, our grandchild loved it. Overall great meal, great service and good price. I highly recommend Devon for families who would like a great atmoshere and great food."

"My Mother lives out of state and for Mother's Day this year, we decided to do something different. We walked in the Fight against Breast Cancer race in honor of my Aunt who died of the disease, and had brunch at Devon's afterwards (12:45). After we were seated, we quickly found out that they had run out of some of the featured dishes. How do you run out of food on Mother's Day? Brunch was reservations only, which means they should have known and planned for the right amount of people. I was very disappointed that my Mom was unable to try all of the featured dishes on the brunch menu. The substitutes that they put out for the missing dishes were poor. Although the food is good at this restaurant, I would not go back on a holiday!"

"My husband and I ate at Devon Seafood Grill while we were vacationing in Chicago. We had won a gift certificate to the restaurant and were very pleased with everything. The menu had lots of tastey options without overwhelming you, their wine list was very nice and the atmosphere was lovely. We both ordered fresh fish and it was outstanding. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone!"

Service was outstanding. Save room for the Molten Ava Cake dessert. It's worth the wait (15 minute baking time) and the calories!"

"My mother was up from FL, his lives here. I felt the brunch lacked the elegance I'd expect for a Mother's Day event. We ate upstairs to have a window instead of eating in the dark downstairs. Most items were there but carving and omelette stations were downstairs so you had to hike to them. The other items were just placed on the bar or set up in steam trays without any presentation. I could have been eating at a Holiday Inn. The food was OK--my mother said the oysters were fresh and tasty, but the rest of the selections were forgettable and hot food was lukewarm. Few plates, several crashes involving plates and glasses, weak mimosas in wine glasses, and a slightly cranky waiter. We like Devon but will stick to regular meals in the future."

"Had done a Yelp search for seafood restaurants in downtown Chicago - Devon Seafood Grill came pretty highly rated. Made a quick reservation for a Sunday evening via Open Table and we were set. Arrived to find a crowd around the hostess stand but we were seated immediately. Others must have been drop-ins without reservations. Anyway, we were quickly greeted by our server, Noel (sp?) and he did a great job of describing various menu items to us. Sunday is 1/2 price wine night so we took advantage of this as well. We had the mini lobster roll appetizer - which was great! Wife had blacked halibut which was very good. I had the seafood mixed grill which included shrimp, scallops, fish and a crab cake - all very good. Would recommend!"

"The food, service and set up was disappointing. Much less than what you would expect at the location and price points."

"Hands down, the best tuna steak I'd ever had. Perfectly seasoned along the crust, and rare inside. It was beyond amazing. Lobster bisque was great and oysters were moderatly priced. Been here for lunch before and you get the best deal imaginable. Can be pricey if you are going for dinner though, but at least then you know it's great quality! Would def come back"

"This brunch menu is not the most extensive option but in comparison to some of the other upscale options I like this one the best. The food that I ate was very good. I cannot say that anything I ate I did not enjoy. Another thing that I liked is that they do not charge an arm and a leg for children like other brunch options do. I really appreciate this. Additionally the hostess actually picked a table that was away from the main crowd. This allowed me to dine at ease because I knew our family would not be disturbing the rest of patrons. If I am in the market for brunch again, I will definitely return."

"Great food, great service, awesome atmosphere for private dining. The "Opentable App" was so fast and simple to use, provides such direct, timely information that made setting up reservations a breeze.
It's easy to see why the "Opentable App" is rated so high."

"I was disappointed at Devon. We ordered halibut -told they were out. We ordered branzino -told they were out. We discussed lobster -told they were out. People that sat next to us but came in about 30 minutes later got branzino -told "I don't know how they got that". Waitress was really unpleasant - doing us a favor to wait on us. The salad I ordered came and I aksed for pepper - before the pepper was applied the food entrees were served. When I asked why everything came at once -told "I didn't want them to be out" in a smart way. They seat you in a basement with no windows and the noise level makes it impossible to carry on a conversation without shouting. The food was good. Prices were high. Many great restaurants - will not go back."

"We had a lovely celebration meal at Devon on a busy Thursday night. We arrived early for our reservation, but the hostess seated us right away, and the waiter immediately offered a complimentary glass of champagne to help us begin our celebration. The food was amazing, the drinks were great, and the ambiance was a lot of fun. Our waiter was patient and kind, answering questions and offering advice. This is absolutely a restaurant I would recommend for happy hour, or a nice dinner. I will certainly be back!"

"The food at Devon was very good. We were happy that we were in a somewhat private room, as it was quite loud and a little difficult to hear others in our party, even in the private room, I can only imagine how loud it would have been in the main dining area. Servoice was excellent."

"Took a friend there to celebrate a new career and needless to say, we had a good time that we stayed long enough for me to get a parking ticket because we lost track of time LOL. Anyway, food was always good, server was friendly and attentive to when we need drinks or something else without us having to ask for it, atmosphere was always nice. Great location to hangout and see who comes through as well. We dined upstairs this time instead of downstairs since it was more happy hour that turned into dinner. Food was only 4 stars this round, still great main courses, but appetizers were a little cold, particularly my bisque this time. Otherwise not a deal breaker, still a great place and will be returning soon."

"Had wonderful meals at Devon. This was our first time and don't think of Chicago for seafood. Devon has changed that for us.
Problem is we usually stay two nights and can only pick two. But Devon will be at my top of list.
Really enjoyed everything."

"Service was good...maybe too good. Food came out a liitle undercooked and lacked any significance. Not as expensive as I thought it would be but quality was average so it evened out. Not a bad place but not very upscale."

"Devon Seafood is a favorite local restaurant. Not met by the usual friendly professional Hostesses on reception; maybe because we were too early for the usual team. Food is very good indeed. Service is excellent and server Tameka is absolutely superb. Atmosphere in the restaurant is cool and refined with a very nice eclectic mix of patrons. Fine separate dining areas , almost Japanese in outward appearance but without having to sit cross legged on the floor! The wine room is also excellent for good sized parties incorporating a higher degree of privacy. Devon Seafood's Tuna Tartare makes a great appetizer and the Seafood Mixed Grill or Seared Ahi Tuna make excellent entrees. A-Z Oregon Pinot Noir by the glass is good"
