Great food and wonderful service. They have really stepped up their game. Is becoming one of our go to places for an upscale meal

A fantastic restaurant. The food and cocktails are just fantastic and the staff from the hostesses, the bartenders and the servers are just so friendly and helpfull. Once you go there, I guarantee you that you will be back again and again. read more

This was my first time visiting Wildfire. It is definitely a cute atmosphere on the inside and gives the vibe of a nice steakhouse that isn't stuffy! Service was good. The food, I ordered off the restaurant week menu and had the soup, salmon, and loaded bake potato. The soup was good but I don't feel it was hot enough for my liking. The salmon was very delicious and I loved the sauce on top. The baked potato was so big lol like I was actually taken back by how big it was, but it was tasty. My friend ordered the branzino and it looked phenomenal, it was off the regular menu. For dessert we order the chocolate pie and it was so delicious. One of the best pies I've ever had actually. read more

First time there while visiting in the area. First off let me say that our waiter was excellent and on top of things. The food...very disappointing considering the price point. I ordered the scallops (which I strongly suspect was actually skate, not scallops) and it came out smothered with a brown glob of gluey breading that reminded me of cheap stovetop stuffing mix. I scraped it off. We had cocktails that were all ice, very little drink mix, watered down. Ordered key lime pie for desert...they were individual rounds with a very thick and gluey graham cracker crust, so we just ate the lime curd which wasn't bad on its own. Would not advise spending the higher price for disappointing food. Tipped our waiter well. read more

LOVE this restaurant -- we had lived in Glenview for many years and were always big fans when this restaurant first opened. Now we live about one hundred miles away but sometimes we travel back toward Glenview and we stop at Wild Fire every chance we get! Last night was no exception to a great dining experience, super food and service! Keep it up! We will be back! read more

Wildfire has great food, service and ambiance. We really enjoy Wildfire, dining room is very comfortable, servers are knowledgeable about the menu, offer good suggestions, based on your tastes. Deserts are excellent. read more

This is definitely one of the best places for a meal in the local area. When you walk in, you are greeted by the host and if waiting for others, there is seating available. Once inside, the warm wood tones help you relax and sit back while your server ensures that you have everything you like to drink and provides a fantastic onion roll to hold back that starving feeling you may have. I ordered a petite filet mignon with a side of macaroni and cheese. When I order a medium rare steak, I expect it to come out medium most of the time. But this medium rare was medium rare! Topped with a Parmesan crust, it is one of the best steaks I have had in quite some time. The Mac and cheese was also cooked perfectly and provided the perfect balance to my steak. Others at my table got the lump crab cake sandwich which had rave reviews, and the club sandwich which was also reported to be good. For dessert, I have the triple chocolate cake. The cake was also... perfect. The icing was just thick enough and the cake tasted like it was made that morning. Yes, this can be a pricey meal, but it is perfect for special occasions. read more

First of all it's a nice looking restaurant. And when it's busy you can still hear people at your table. I had crab appetizer, tasted good it but made with lump crab and the 2 pieces probably weight 6 ounces in all, but all in all, tasted nice. I also had calamari which was okay, My friend had the 3 filets and they looked more like tornados even if full size filets, and she said they were sort of chewy, I had the chewy pie which is always good. My ice tea was $4.50 and look at your bill and have the restaurant service charge taken off. read more

We ordered cary out both hamburgers were over cooked and dried out when ordered medium rare. They forgot the fries on one order and no cheese on one of the burgers The $35 chop salad had old lettuce and soggy tomatoes. Been going there for years, but will think twice about going back. read more

I was here for a lunch meeting! We had Tomato & Cheese flatbread ( it was ok, not much flavor), Wildfire chopped salad (it needed more salt), Macadamia Nut Crusted Halibut (this was very tasty and lots of flavor) side dishes were Red Skin Mashed potatoes and fresh broccoli with lemon vinaigrette (the broccoli needed more salt)! The best part of the entire meal were the desserts-homemade Key Lime pie and their famous Triple Layer Chocolate Cake! The chocolate was so creamy and delicious, I will come back just for that! read more

This is one of my all time favorite restaurants. It never disappoints no matter what I get. They have a variety of options for everyone. I have tried many things here. Sometimes I stick to some favorites and other times I try new options. Today we went for dinner and started with the Shrimp Cocktail and Baked Goat Cheese Flatbread dip. Both amazing!! We split a seasonal salad- had apples, cranberries, blue cheese, etc. For our entrees we both got steak with different crusts- mashed potatoes, sweet potato, roasted veggies and creamed spinach. All Excellent!! Had enough for another full meal. Their dessert is also fantastic, esp the Door County Cherry pie! Overall experience 5/5. read more

So disappointed in the management of this restaurant. We went their mothers day. My mom. Wanted the duck and knew it had to be reserved in advanced . I called 3 times leading up to the dinner and each time was told a duck was being held with our reservation. I had even called day of at 1:30 and was told duck was reserved for our 6:15 dinner. We get to restaurant and they're out of duck with no explanation. This was a awful expereince and mothers day was ruined. They did offer a gift card but damage was read more

The venue for my niece's high school graduation party, Wildfire went above and beyond to make the once in a lifetime celebration super memorable. I tip my hat to our servers, George and Emanuel, for their excellent work during the four or so hours we were there. Both gentlemen were very friendly as well. Our very small guest list was treated to some top-notch food. I usually don't rave about salad, but the chopped salad was really delicious, especially when paired with the accompanying the hot, chewy goodness that was the calamari. More importantly, the main course -- the filet mignon and the BBQ spare ribs -- met my expectations. I must confess the filet mignon was too well done for my liking but I enjoyed it nonetheless. The ribs were rich in spice, sweetness, and juiciness. Also, they were drizzled in sauce, but to where it left a mess. In the end, we were left with plenty of food of which we were allowed to box. Allow me to conclude the review by saying that Wildfire does great at keeping the spirit of the Rat Pack era alive. I'm certain Frank, Dean, Sammy, et al. would've dug it here. read more

It's been many years since our last visit to Wildfire in Glenview. That happens when you move out of state. First thing I noticed was that for a Friday night visit there wasn't anyone waiting to be seated. This place used to be jammed. Most tables were filled however, so many people are just eating earlier and we beat the crowds. We were seated immediately and ordered a glass of wine. I ordered the half herb roasted chicken with mashed potatoes and a side of creamy spinach. Wifey ordered the Friday special filet Wellington with scallop potatoes. We'll the Wellington was eaten the potatoes were left on the plate. Also ordered the cornbread skillet. Years ago that was given in place of rolls which are put out now. The cornbread has a slight kick to it which is noticed after you finished it. The chicken and Wellington came shortly afterwards. Both were enjoyed. Spinach was good as was the mashed potatoes. Ordered the blueberry pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream which was shared and enjoyed. Nice crust. Found a 3% restaurant surcharge on my bill. Not sure what that went for or to whom. Our server was friendly and answered our questions and the restaurant still looks very clean and a joy to dine in. read more

While visiting with some friends. It was recommended to me to try Wildfire. This restaurant definitely had a cozy feel and laid back atmosphere. We started off with jumbo shrimp and crab cakes. The crab cakes were phenomenal. The crab cakes were probably the best I have had. Then the table ordered the grilled chicken club Sandwich. The Smoked Salmon and then the NY Steak Sandwich with fries. Also we got roasted vegetables which was amazing. The overall experience was okay, the service was a little slow. But the restaurant was packed. Overall I would give my experience and food a 7.7. Service could have been better. But the restaurant was nice, but overall the people made the experience better. If you are ever in the area, definitely give wildfire a try! read more

Ordered a pick up order for Sunday night dinner. Was told our order would be ready in 25-30 minutes from when we called. 70 minutes later our order was ready. I understand restaurants get busy but to not receive an update that it was delayed was frustrating. My husband ended up waiting at the carry out area with many others for an extra half hour for our food. read more

They have a separate gf menu with lots of options! My dd was thrilled when the server brought her warm gf bread. So few places do this. Gf ribs are hard to find around here and these were delish! Also enjoyed the au gratin potatoes and chicken skewer. Great waiter who was very accommodating. Only drawback is it is very loud, making it difficult to hold a conversation. read more

Down the rating goes. Clearly they don't take Restaurant Week seriously. Despite a promising menu with more options than most restaurants that participate, it is a letdown experience that serves to frustrate. We were seated in a far-off area of the restaurant. I say that because it was one in which few waiters ever passed by it. It took us a while to even get water, and then it took about 20 minutes just for drinks. Our waiter was never around much, maybe 10 minutes between each visit, so it was hard to find anyone to help us if we needed something. The entire 2.5 hour dinner (just two of us, no need to take that long honestly) was a letdown in execution. My cup of soup from the RW menu was a piddling little thing, barely hot, just disappointing. My main dish arrived with a horseradish crust, something I've had here before, but this time extremely salty. The side dish was cold. I finally found our waiter and he was gracious in having it warmed up, but given the inefficiency of this evening, it wasn't back on the table until well after we finished our main courses. We got some dessert from the RW menu, each of us only having a few bites at most from being full (full of middling food, but we were hungry haha). The cherry pie was legitimately cold. Isn't it supposed to be served hot? I feel like that's one of the things that makes it appealing! After that disappointment, I was quite concerned, because I bit down onto something hard. It was ostensibly edible, most likely an uncooked kernel of corn (or popcorn!?). After waiting awhile, again, for our server, he was nice about it. I give our waiter credit for comping our drinks due to this fiasco. We didn't ask him to and wouldn't have done so, but he took the initiative. For that, we we thanked him and were happy he did that. Even so, this experience was a total cluster. So many people overrate Wildfire, a restaurant that had zero care for its Restaurant Week diners and their slightly smaller checks. read more

The restaurant has that dining toom flavor with comfortable chairs and you can talk easily without getting loud when you're in the main dining room. Our waiter Kevin was efficient serving out good hot, filling our water glasses and having dirty dishes taken away as well as being polite and leaving us with the feeling that he was nice I had a here chop salad so I could take home left overs and while the salad is expensive at $32 I still love it. BUT, church your receipt because there is an automatic $.99 sir charge. This restaurant is always busy so there is no reason to add this cost onto the bill. read more

FAMILY and I reserve at this location monthly. It's always been a favorite for the family many rooms to the place always busy many staff members . I've noticed one thing they have done. We used to get two side items with a meal and now it's only one so the restaurant is cutting back on cost but they are not lowering the prices even when an item is removed from the meal. still the family and I will go there. The main reason why they got a good review from us is because of EDDIE the server. He stands out above the rest. Everyone is wonderful there, but he is on top of things always refilling your drinks always asking about another alcohol drink making sure there's enough bread checking on us constantly making sure there's enough room at the table moving dishes . Always smiling happy and making sure we have a good time . Eddie is your number one. Many servers have served us. They are very kind. Good hearted people. I have picked up food there. I also have come in to deliver for DOOR DASH and UBER EATS and the staff up front are always wonderful with me regardless of the pressures that are put on them from other drivers. One time, my uncle, yes he drinks unfortunately fell outside at the curb step. I've seen many people fall there. Every restaurant is like that we can not put blame on them. Don't know what they can do to change that it's already painted red so people cannot miss it. But that day when he fell, Management was out there quickly no matter if he's a tough guy and did not want help. They still got the police and ambulance there to check him out. I was happy for that so I give props to everybody. Unfortunately, I cannot give it a five star. I've seen some changes and I'm very picky you take away a food item and still charge the same amount or more and I know you're charging a separate charge for disinfecting the table, which cleaning disinfecting the table should be done regardless. but no matter what it's always been a safe, healthy choice good food restaurant we will always reserve every month and try to request Eddie as our server. Thank you for being there with your restaurant your staff and cleanliness of the restaurant to the washroom. read more

My husband and I came in on a Saturday afternoon, we sat at the bar, and Gina was our bartender. She was super friendly, made great drinks. The one draw back to the bar seating was a rogue vent blowing really cold air right on us. The food was good, my husband got the rib eye steak sliders, he loved them, but was sad there were only 2. I had a grilled seafood salad, it was fine. We will definitely be back and try some other menu items and drinks. read more

I picked Wildfire for my birthday dinner, in large part because restaurants in the Lettuce group have gone above and beyond in accommodating my food allergies. And because with my birthday being on a Tuesday, I wanted upscale and also nearby. I made a reservation on OpenTable and noted that it was my birthday. We were seated right away at one of those half-circle booths where you're never really sure where to sit when there are only two of you. We figured ourselves out eventually but we're always awkward in those. Our server was beyond incredible. He was the right balance of fun and engaging while never overstaying his welcome making small talk. We shared a salad and then I had the prime rib, which was excellent. We each had a couple of cocktails. My seasonal French 75 with strawberries in it was lovely and my dirty martini paired well with my entree. We were given flourless chocolate cake for dessert for my birthday and, honestly, I would go back just for this (though I didn't actually see it on the menu). Overall, it was a lovely meal with great service. It was a good splurge and a nice special occasion celebration. read more

Always great and delicious. Pricey but worth it. Service was very professional. It is little but packed but food is typically excellent

Food is delicious, highly recommend the scallops for appetizers. Unfortunately, these people do not know how to cook chicken. The chicken was red as hot sauce in the middle and the outside was dry as caca. The mashed potatoes were half assed and I think the cocktail was 90% bitters. Yuck. My server (did not want to mention names) was very arrogant and messed up my order (chicken) and blamed it on me. What a mess. Love the jazz and the interior however read more

The place was hopping on a Tuesday night but we were able to sit at a high top in the bar and were served promptly. Water appeared almost instantaneously. Our order was turned around in about 15 minutes. Perfectly cooked 16 ounce prime rib medium rare; thick, juicy, nicely seasoned and fresh. Accompanying mixed vegetable medley was lightly sautéed, gently roasted, and full of flavor. The Tuesday night special, roasted turkey, with herbed stuffing and masked potatoes was all white meat and generously sliced. The house Malbec we shared was smooth and slightly peppery, and worth returning for on its own merits. Superb waitstaff. Loved it!! read more

Wildfire - Family Lunch - American Near Me - Glenview, Illinois

I was in chicago traveling and me and my friends agreed on this restaurant. We almost regretted our decision because as soon as we got there & sat down, our waiter was just straight up nasty. He literally ignored us, dropped the waters off and ran and gave my friend serious attitude when we ordered since she dared to ask questions. My other friend had to be like "is everything ok" and then the waiter finally calmed down. I could tell this place is a miserable place to work. All the waiters looked stressed. On the positive side, the food was really good and my friends agreed. I got a chicken kabob and a side of mac & cheese and I was very happy with my food. I probably won't be back here anyway since I'm in the metro detroit area but I don't regret trying it out even if the service sucked. read more

Not sure whats up with the reviews, but I have always liked this place. Its a nice big restaurant with some big eats! It has been a favorite of my family for years. We went for my Sister in Law's birthday yesterday and it was great! Steaks are the main feature on the menu and they are awesome! If you wanted a steakhouse type steak, but not the whole cost and fanciness of downtown, this works well. I actually got the burger special yesterday. The only issue was that it was slightly undercooked to my liking which made it fall apart (I asked for medium, but got medium rare). My sister in law got the steak sandwich, but they didn't ask her what doneness she wanted. An easy mistake for the server that they made right immediately, but a small hiccup. The desserts are always excellent here. They also have some good cocktails! The only downside of this place is that it can get a little crowded and thus service can lack. Our guy yesterday was outstanding, but sometimes service is hit or miss (usually on how busy it is....it was empty when we were there for lunch). Its also a little bit on the expensive side, but I think that is pretty well known as it portrays itself as a little upscale, but still family friendly. I mean, the food is good and the service is above average. That sounds good to me! read more

We went here for a private event and the service was great! Food was family style and it came out in 3 courses. First course was the chopped salad and tomato and mozzarella flat bread. Both were 5 stars. 2nd course was the lemon piccata and filet mignon. Both items were cooked perfectly. I preferred the filet mignon but only bc I rarely eat red meat so I devoured it hahaha. They also provided sides which were mashed potatoes and roasted veggies. The mashed potatoes were so creamy and tasty. For dessert we had cheesecake and a 3 layer chocolate cake. Everything was absolutely delicious and service was great. We were in a private room towards the back so it was an intimate gathering away from the main restaurant area. I highly recommend it here for private events - very well done! read more

I went here the other night and we ordered a lot of food. The Caesar salad was perfect as always, the dressing is perfectly creamy. We also got steak, broccoli and creamed spinach all delicious. At the end I had some chocolate cake and the filling was chocolatey and light. I brought some home and it was good the next day as well. Definitely make a reservation this spot is popular. read more

Wildfire still has one of the best Chopped Salads of any restaurant around. The salad is gigantic and filled with chicken, tortilla strips, corn, a half of an avocado, and so much more. The dressing is a citrus lime vinaigrette. It is perfect. Not tart at all and compliments the ingredients. I order dinner salads as an entree at many restaurants but Wildfires is one of the best. They serve it with the most scrumptious warm onion rolls too. Such a nice relaxing atmosphere and mellow music in the background. Service is always excellent. read more

What can I say? I'm a Wildfire snob. Been coming here for what feels like centuries. Oakbrook, Schaumburg, downtown; Glenview is by far my favorite location. Although Schaumburg isn't too shabby if you are in that neighborhood (Ernesto is the ish: do yourself a favor and sit in his section). Stormy night is where it is at. My favorite drink of all time. It taste like I'm drinking Jolly Rancher. Too sweet for some, just right for me! I'm disappointed that their menu is extremely limited now due to Covid. However, I'm extremely grateful they have remained open and I don't take their martinis for granted. I literally do a prayer every time before I cheers now. Lol. It's that serious. So in short, I'll take what I can get off the menu! I've seen a lot of changes over the years and changes I don't necessarily agree with but understand why. They got rid of their bread loafs (which were the best!) because they wasted a lot of it. So they only give you two pieces of corn bread now but it's still great and cuts out the carbs! They also got rid of their artichoke app which was amazing. So basically, they got rid of everything good but the stormy night still remains and I can't complain. Anything you get here is delicious. The Cobb salad is a must, anything with steak and fish is great. They have great sandwiches that are relatively affordable if you don't feel like splurging. read more

Made reservations outdoors but they canceled last minute because of rain which was fine . The servers either were exhausted from the weekend or just lack Customer service. Extremely impatient taking the orders and one of the servers really needs 101 on mask etiquette . Chop salad was good as always , the calamari okay. I had a rose, others had gin and tonic and tea. For main course I got the halibut which exceptional, others had lemon chicken and salmon. We got the yummy chocolate cake and key lime pie for dessert. Overall wish the service was more personable and the bathrooms really really need good maintenance. read more
