    This is one of our favorite restaurants. Have never had anything but great experiences here. Seemed like each time one of our party ordered; someone else at the table re-evaluated their selection and changed their order. The choices are really good, it would be hard to go wrong. Our Server was patient with the changes and did a great job. Everyones food was excellent and we had a great time catching up with old friends. Thanks

    We always try to sit in the a booth in the bar area. Cathy is the best server and bartender. We like the food and atmosphere. We were happy to see they had a broth based soup today. I wish Wildfire would always have at least 1 broth based soup item. Cream soups don't agree with many many people. We recommend Wildfire in Lincolnshire IL
