Chicago lunch before Lion King
Any comments on Emil's Bar & Grill, Monday's or Lloyd's? All three are supposedly 1/4 mile or less to the Cadillac Palace Theater + have outdoor dining.

Never heard of Emil's, I agree that Monday's is nothing special and if they have outside dining I can't imagine where they would put it.
Petterino's does have outside dining and is within 4-5 blocks of the theater on Randolph (same street as the theater). You can see their menu at:

Also on Randolph is Giordano's for pizza/pasta, not sure about outside dining though.

Forget Mondays, it's nothing more than a greasy spoon. Lloyds is good not spectacular, but good. Petterinos is probably closest and good. I'm not familiar with Emils. Hotel Burnham's restaurant also is supposed to be really good with outside dining and a 5 minute walk tops. (It's at State one block south of Randolph.)

I work in this area.
Our favorite spots for outdoor dining are Regimental Grill, Blackie's and River's (at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange).
These are all within walking distance.
Giordano's is very good and right there, but has no outdoor dining.

I would second Atwood (which is the Hotel Burnham's restaurant) and Trattoria No. 10. Both are excellent and close. Trattoria No. 10 is right around the corner from the Cadillac and that is where we ate before seeing the Lion King. 312 is right next door to the theater.

Yes, there is a Boston Blackie's over at the corner of Canal and Monroe. It is right across the street from Regimental and across the river from Rivers like jennyr said. That would be a pretty far walk to the Cadillac.

Thanks to all of you! We ended up at Boston Blackie's and thoroughly enjoyed the bleu cheese burger, corned beef sandwich, garbage salad + wine, all at great prices + wonderful service.
