Restaurants near Busse Forest Nature Preserve

We were able to take advantage of the Valentines menu. It was well worth the price. There were four of us and we were able to share everything. The Wildfire chopped salad was great as always. Steaks were cooked well, salmon was good. Bacon wrapped scallops always one of my husbands favorite. Our server Robert was wonderful, he did not rush us and was very pleasant.

We went to the Arlington Heights locations for Valentine's Day. We had a lovely wine tasting and then dinner. We were seated exactly at the time of our reservation. The food was phenomenal and our server was super sweet.

What an amazing experience. They are #1 for a reason. Started off a little rocky as there was no complimentary valet as mentioned on the website (maybe it's seasonal) and I had to wait an additional 15-20 mins for my reservation despite making it within the 15 min grace period. But I wasn't alone, the waiting area near the hostesses was packed! But it looks like we all got complimentary wine for the wait, hey, I'm not complaining. 15-20 min wait as packed as they were was honestly impressive. And once I sat down and began to receive my food, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the hype is well due! I had what was quite possibly the best steak I'd ever tasted, cooked to perfection, almost buttery soft. An 8oz perry filet wrapped in bacon and topped with lump crab meat, a generous portion of vegetables and good mashed potatoes. I also devoured the chocolate covered strawberries within minutes of receiving them. Great service, loved the lighting. Well worth the price. I will be back again and again!

We came for early Valentine’s Day. Had a wonderful booth in the bar. I had been craving a pomegranate margarita martini. It was amazing. I had two. Our server, Brad, was wonderful and very friendly. I will ask for him again. In fact, he served us on our anniversary two years ago. Next time I make a reservations I will ask for Brad and to be in the bar area.

Going to a place regularly has it's perks. The servers get to know you the carvers do too and you don't need to ask for anything. I didn't even fully sit down with my plate of salad, card not yet turned to green and I already got my favorite cut of meat (lamb picana) brought to the table. The service was on point the whole dinner and they even made some special requests for me (rare/blueish instead of medium for some of the filet mignons), which I really appreciated. As 99.9% of the time a great meal/experience and service!
