Yes, I read that thread before going. I think we ended up with the same waiter (there was too much food), but we really enjoyed the experience. Though we tend to be people who want to try a little of everything.
And I'll agree that LTHForum is a great resource for Chicago. It tends to be much more of a community like Flyertalk rather than a bunch of random posts like Yelp or even Chowhound.
