Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Vernon Hills

We have been coming to Mambo for years and the service and food has never let us down. The aroma will lure you in from the parking lot! Great atmosphere! A must to make it a staple in your dining out list.

Our waitress couldn’t have been better!!! All of the waitstaff was exceptional… The Pork Chop Bites appetizer was so good - I think I’ll have to order the pork chop entree next time. The medium-rare Crusted Prime Rib (Thursday Special) was wonderful. Loved the Grilled Brussel Sprouts side and the Banana Foster deserves a 15 out of 10! It is flamed at the table, it looks HUGE, and I was left wanting more when I was finished [almost licked the plate ;-)]. Excellent dark roast coffee that could be tamed with cream or sugar, but black is perfect with dessert. We arrived at 7:30 with the restaurant 1/3 occupied, and the noise was unbelievable! I could hardly hear my guest and waitress. By 8:15, it was getting easier to hear across the table, and by 9:00 the noise level was relaxing. Poor acoustical design of the building? Be prepared for $130+/per person without drinks… The food experience is worth the splurge on a special occasion!

Everything was perfect Food and service could not be better

My wife and I had a weeknight dinner at Wildfire. We each had a grilled salmon and a large baked potato. It was delicious and cooked to taste. This restaurant is a neighborhood gem.

The overall experience was great, again. All Of our food was excellent, as was the service and the house Pino Noir wine was great too. The food, service and wine was great.
