This was exactly what I expected. Pleasant ambiance. Good selection on the menu and options for the non-meat eaters. Moderately priced. Service was off in that we struggled to find our server.

We always try to sit in the a booth in the bar area. Cathy is the best server and bartender. We like the food and atmosphere. We were happy to see they had a broth based soup today. I wish Wildfire would always have at least 1 broth based soup item. Cream soups don't agree with many many people. We recommend Wildfire in Lincolnshire IL
