The food was amazing. We had the chicken, pork salmon and whitefish. Yum. The waiter didn’t bring the ordered glass of wine and it was too damn noisy. It seemed like people we yelling to be heard

Excellent experience would go again anytime. Service was fantastic even though we were in a dome outside and it was 20 degrees! Dome was slightly cool for a cotton shirt , but they provided blankets so no worries. Friends in sweaters were fine. Loved it!

One of the best Wildfire experiences I’ve ever had, which is saying a lot as I have been eating there regularly since it opened and frequented the Chicago location before that. Food as good as ever, good crowd and the best server I have ever had. We spent two and half hours at dinner and were never rushed and never not taken care of even when we were last group on the restaurant: A+
