Step back in time to when going out for dinner meant something really special. From the decor to the jazz music, Wildfire has the style and warmth that makes it perfect for celebrating with friends or a quiet evening for two. The extensive menu features broiled steaks and chops, wood-roasted seafood and roasted meats, all prepared in an open kitchen. Signature dishes include Horseradish Crusted Filet Mignon, Macadamia Nut Crusted Halibut, Wildfire Chopped Salad and Cedar Planked Salmon. So order a signature martini or one of our many wines by the glass, then sit back and enjoy the 1940s supper club experience of Wildfire.

    The food was excellent, as always. However, the service was quite slow, and we had to search for the server to get more drinks. Our empty plates were left on the table for long periods. I personally prefer the service at the Oakbrook location.

    Our server seemed to have way too many tables. He was not as attentive as he could have been. Also, the kitchen staff obviously did not read the order ticket correctly. I’m glad there were no food allergies at our table. The downtown Chicago location is not ready for prime time.

    The drinks were great and the food was good. My entree, filet mignon Wellington, was served medium well-well done instead of medium rare as requested. They promptly corrected replaced it with one cooked to my liking, so the service was great. Our server was very tentative and polite. I will return and recommend this restaurant for good chops and whiskey or whiskey-based cocktails.

    Olivia was our main server and we had other wait staff bringing food, drinks and clearing dishes as well. It as a lovely experience all around! Excellent service! Food was flavorful, perfect temperature, great ambiance. Highly recommend. We’re visiting from Texas and the only negative part is having to find parking.

    Not as good as it once was. I remember this place being amazing. Service wasn’t great, food came before drinks, out of certain foods. Too bad.
