Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Skokie

The lobster roll (Manhattan-style) with butter was fantastic. Ditto the shrimp tacos. Our 6pm reservation had at least six tables with pre-K kids but that wasn't an issue. Highly recommend.

Wildfire is our favorite and our server Lainey was wonderful. The petit filet trio is the best. Thank you wonderful dinner with family.

We went there for my wife’s birthday. Service, drinks and entrées were great. I had the moussaka which was one of the best I’ve ever had and my wife had the Bronzino which she said it was very flavorful. I told them ahead of time it was my wife’s birthday. They brought us what they called a “cheesecake“ with a candle in it. I believe they call it some type of Greek cheesecake. I hate to say this but it was inedible. Not good at all. We wound up ordering gelato instead which was delicious. But I was surprised when they charged us $14 for the birthday cheesecake which was never communicated to me. Don’t get me wrong, this place is really really good. But I would avoid the “birthday cheesecake” and they should’ve communicated that they were charging us $14 for it.

Seafood entrees were excellent. Enjoyed the unique cocktails too. We'll be back.

Wonderful manager who worked there room, checked in on dinners, helped to clear tables and bring various items to dinners such as condiments. Food was good-excellent menu options.
