"The Grand Tasting is the best value. For $69 per person, guests may select three sample-sized entrees, and their choice of white or red wine (my server allowed me to swap out my drink for a nonalcoholic hibiscus lemonade). While servings are smaller than those offered a la carte, each portion is still quite hefty. The New Orleans gumbo yakamein ($39) suited the cold Chicago day I visited."
"I could have eaten another order of the Hong Kong honey shrimp ($38). Three jumbo pieces are served hot in a light batter on a bed of puffy, well-cooked rice topped with broccoli, candied pecans, and a drizzle of crunchy chile oil. The Caribbean BBQ catfish ($39) is well-cooked and with just the right amount of seasoning. It's paired with buttered rice, beans, and a citrus-infused vegetable mix that complements the fish. Enjoy the sweet plantains between bites of the catfish."
