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 dish was Scallops in a Polynesian sauce with mixed vegetables. The sauce reminded me of a less-tasty version of French's Mustard. Thank god the portions were small so that I could suffer it down with water and not alert my dinner host (who had been looking forward to coming here).

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

Had not been to Blue Ginger for a couple years. The renovated restaurant is a big improvement- it gives the place some atmosphere which it sorely needed. 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
