      The food was alright. The Shrimp and Lobster Bisque was great. From there, my main entrée came and everything looked good. The cut of ribeye steak I received was a bit fattier than I like. The red skin mashed potatoes and creamed spinach were good, once I added salt and pepper. I washed it down with a Mexican Mule (not pictured).

      Overall, it's a solid restaurant with a solid experience. I'd go back, but I may order a different protein.

      This place is reminiscent of an old style jazz club. It is cozy and warm and manufactured dated. We got reservations, but they were slightly behind. We sat at the bar as we waited and had a couple of cocktails that were good. I honestly love watching bartenders make cocktails and this was definately a cocktail kind of place. I also saw the other staff help out when the bartender got slammed which i found encouraging. What brought us in was a restaurant week, and it was honestly a good deal. I got salad, and my husband got soup. He got filet and I got prime rib. So, starters were good. Husband said his lobster bisque had pieces of lobster which made him happy. My prime rib was excellent. It was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The filet, while perfectly cooked with a good sear could have used more salt and seasoning. Our desserts were decent.

      Our service was good. Ivy, our server, was bright, engaging, and when she got slammed she still made it a point to be positive and helpful. The service in general was friendly and hospitable.

      On a sad note, we ubered from our hotel and determined the the valet would have been cheaper at 18.

      This place in the city is hard to get to as being downtown and traffic is busy. Even with that the food is good and the service is on mark if not better. Beware if you make reservations, they take your credit card#. If you fail to cancel 24 hrs before reservation, they will charge $30/person on the credit card on file.

      It was a middle of the week dinner for our family. It wasn't busy but it did take a long time for our food to come after the salad and calamari.

      Our server was great. She had a good personality and kept checking with us. But she couldn't make the food come any faster.

      We've heard about this spot for your traditional steakhouse. The Ambiance is fantastic. We tried the fried chicken, different salads ( readers be warned, the small size is more than you need to share with 4 adults) very generous portions.

      Kale and spinach salad with shrimp kabob - 10/10

      Fried chicken- 8/10

      Prime rib sandwich/ dip- 8/10

      Calamari apps 8/10

      French onion soup

      It's always about the basics of cooking and Wildfire delivers. Hot food hot and cold food cold. Ask for a medium rare steak and get a medium rare steak. Seasoned to perfection! Our server, Hank, was wonderful. Attentive, polite, warm and friendly. Bravo to Chef and their crew. Another wonderful meal.

      This is a re creation of a Wisconsin Supper Club with an upscale approach. A lot of meat on the menu but fish and others too. Of our group of 3, 2 of us started with the shrimp and crab bisque with corn. Perfect!
      For entrees they had a coho salmon with peaches. Unusual but delicious. The beef Wellington is a regular Saturday special and met expectations.
      The menu has lots of side and I had the creamed spinach. Dessert is always special here especially with their seasonal pies. This week it was a peach and blueberry pie which was outstanding, but my favorite is still the Door County cherry pie.
      We had a new server, Diego,at Wildfire who was terrific. He was personable , attentive, and enthusiastic!

      This is our go to spot in the city for great steak. This last time we visited this steak house I got broiled New York strip and my wife got the pistachio crusted flounder. My steak came out perfect and the fish my wife ordered was delicious as well.
      Drinks are strong and beer is cold. Great spot for dinner.
      Service as always was very good. Our waitress was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The restaurant has a large dinning room with a good size bar.

      My friend wanted us to experience one of their best steakhouses in Chicago. The food and wait staff were incredible. I ordered the cedar plank salmon, we also had the loin trio medley, family size Cobb salad for the table, New York strip, two bottles of wine and dessert. Each course was delivered with fun and style. I'd highly recommend attending if you're in town. Oh and bring your checkbook...

      Cedar - Planked Salmon this was delicious with the grilled veggies
