OK, even after making a phone reservation three weeks in advance, we were asked to wait at the bar for a table and then shown the farthest table in the back room in a corner. We (three of us) were not happy after a long drive from Portland. The service started poorly, and we were given the "someone will be... more

Yum. Very good food here. more

This restaurant has had so much hype, I guess it couldn't fail to disappoint. Yes the food is interesting and tasty, in fact above average, but not worth a) the price tag and b) the trip to the middle of nowhere, er , sorry Wellesley. Be prepared to drink water non-stop for the next 2 days. This is not elegant... more

Even the commonplace somehow tastes amazing. We had a caprese salad - very basic - truly outstanding. The bar's tapas-style menu is inventive and the bar seating offers some pretty interesting people-watching. Can't wait to go back . more

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

Great in concept, poorly executed more
