   Everything was great. We stopped in at the bar for a drink while we waited. We were served right away. Then, once we were sat at our table we had great service there as well. Diana was our waitress and she was wonderful. She was kind, attentive, and spent some time getting to know us. Everything was great. 100% top notch with no complaints.

   Decided not to cook for hubby and I this year and thought it would be nice to have Thanksgiving at Wildfire...we were stunned at the quality of the food for the cost; could have gotten a better meal in a hospital cafeteria. The portions were ridiculous...for starters, the appetizers was deviled eggs and relish dish, which included one deviled egg for 2 people (not sure what they had the deviled eggs on but it looked like wilted old lettuce), 2 celery stalks, 1 radish (cut in two) and a few carrots. The bread must have been several days old...was dried out and cold. The salads seemed like they just chopped up some lettuce and threw in some extras. The turkey was cold and dry and the beef was also cold and had a very odd taste to it. The chocolate cake was fine but the pecan pie looked like it was for a toddler...was about an inch wide and smashed. Our server though was excellent...while she seemed to have too many tables at once, she was great! I can honestly say we will never be back.

   This year our little family opted to forego the usual Thanksgiving traditions and decided to go out for a nice dinner. Wildfire was open and had reasonable accommodations and the prefixe menu looked great. We arrived early and were notified we’d be sat at our reservation time, which wasn’t too long after. Though the restaurant was filled, it wasn’t too loud and overall, it seemed everyone was happy. After being seated, we were treated to some breads and appetizers. Gabriel was our server and was fantastic. He was patient, friendly, receptive to needs, and timely. Give that young man a raise! Our meal was quite tasty! Reasonable accommodations were made. My only critique, do a separate pricing for kids under 5. We have a one year old, and they don’t eat that much on a good day, usually just sharing off our plates, but others than that, they ate pretty much everything put in front of them. We ended up taking our dessert home (equally as tasty. That Maple Pecan Pie was the bomb!). A great experience all around with none of the usual Thanksgiving hassle.

   This was our first time dining out for Thanksgiving. We enjoyed the fact that the food was served family style and that we had choices for each course. The only negative I can think of was the platter of turkey and stuffing the other couple with us received was short of turkey. It only had two thin slices of turkey breast and some smaller pieces of dark meat.

   This was the Thanksgiving dinner. We ordered a Caesars salad and chopped salad. Both were very good. Then we ordered the beef tenderloin which was very nice. Then it went downhill. The plate of turkey was lukewarm, at best. Almost could call it cool. The same with the mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes as well as gravy being lukewarm. These should all be served hot! The server never came by to check with us. For dessert, we were served the chocolate cake and pumpkin pie. No serving utensils! No knife to cut the pie - try using a fork to do this!! The last 2 years we went to the Glenview restaurant. 100% better. Not interested in going back to this one.

   I would highly recommend Wildfire. The food is exceptional, the staff is wonderful. I took my y elderly mother there for Thanksgiving dinner and the staff went out of their way to make her comfortable. It was an outstanding dinner.
