This has become our new Christmas Eve tradition! From the moment we walked in, the festive atmosphere was absolutely enchanting, with stunning Christmas decorations that added such a warm, cozy touch. The food was nothing short of spectacular—each dish was beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. The service was impeccable as well; our server was friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. It's rare to find a place that excels in every area, but the Colonial Room at the Drake in Oakbrook truly does. Whether you're here for a holiday gathering or just a special meal, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommend!

For a great meal & drinks you can’t go wrong with Wildfire. The additional service charge is a bummer. I sure wish they would stop charging it.

The only issue we seem to have is that we are always seated by a full table of loud women which is very annoying when there are other empty tables available. Please stop doing this. I would like to be able to hear the person I am dining with.
