Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Evanston

Finally got a reservation and it was amazing. We arrived early and got seated right away. Ramen was delicious. Asked for a side of spice that gave a pop to all flavors. The eggs are full of flavor. By far the best egg in a ramen. Cool to see chef behind counter cooking it up.

This was a special beer dinner. Like others we've attended at Wildfire, it was fantastic. The rep from the craft brewer (in this case Bell's) always does a nice job telling the story of the brewer and the particular beers served that night. The Wildfire chefs always create excellent pairings for the beers. None of the food is on the regular Wildfire menu, but all of it is delicious. The portions are generous, and we often take some home. These events are always held in one of the private rooms, and we're assigned a round table with others. It's fun to meet new people while enjoying the special food and beer pairings. Also, for those who don't know, Wildfire holds similar events with various brands of wine and spirits. Get on their email list so you can attend!

Chef Mark and the whole team are incredible. The food and atmosphere are fantastic. Always a 10/10
