We had a jonesen for Asian food and the China Grill Restaurant was very convenient for the Chicago Theatre event we were going to see, so we went the other night. Just goes to show I should have done a search and read the comments below:

China Grill was bad.
Service: Mid 30's waitress calling my wife (mid 40's) "baby" as in "Oh I'm sorry baby, I'll bring the drink you asked for", didn't listen well to our questions about the menu, brought out wrong entrees, poor & incorrect pacing of items ordered. Acoustics in the restaurant stink, not easy to hear your partner.
Lamb Ribs - could have been a stellar item but they put the plum sauce on way too early so it burnt rather than caramelized.
Lobster pancakes - very good item.
Drunken Chicken - so dry, not good.
Duck Fried Rice - decent fried rice with good amounts of duck in it.
For the above & 3 drinks, I can think of MUCH better places to spend $150. Won't be back.
