This place lives up to the hype, and was very friendly. We rolled in on a Saturday night, no reservations, expecting a huge wait. Yes, there was a wait, but we found 2 seats at the bar, and the very helpful bartender explained some of the specialty drinks. The Gimlet (forget exactly what it was called) with the homemade ginger... more

Hmm, The Blue Ginger..upon entry, the vestibule needed vacuuming, and it's spring now, there were dead leaves there. Had an appetizer of calamari, which did not seem freshly cooked. Prices are ridiculously high for the venue, it's just not that good. Paper tabletop covers over linens, what is that all about? More of a luncheon thing in my opinion. Busboys... more

Dined here in early March and we were wowed. We all thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The waitstaff were prompt and considerate in their service and timing, Chef Ming and his staff were gracious and the suroundings were delightful. Couldn't have asked for a nicer experience. We've dined at some of the best restaurants in the Chicagoland area and been less... more

While the food was good (Butterfish) the portions were miniscule and expensive which explains why the waitstaff was so pushy trying to sell the extras. First it was the wine, then drinks, &... more

We were pleasantly surprised. Of course we had high expectations, but really enjoyed Blue Ginger. The food was an inventive fusion of many cultures. We were so surprised at the huge portions. The service was nice and the room is really nice for enjoying your guests. It is quiet and relaxing. We were also surprised to look around and see... more
