Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Elgin

This was our second year in a row, but third Thanksgiving dining at this Cooperhawk. Our family really enjoyed the food, the music was great as well. Our server was Aden, and he was excellent. Definitely attentive, and kind. We really appreciate his making this Thanksgiving experience one to remember. Thank you Aden. Happy Holidays , Neil, LeJewel and The Crigler Family 🦃

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.

Being my first time ever not having a homecooked Thanksgiving dinner I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. I may suggest no orange or much less orange in the cranberry sauce. And I believe as far as the sides for the turkey dinner, I would suggest gravy be on the table along with the other sides. Turkey was outstanding, gravy was outstanding the dressing, I might have seasoned more with sage and such but was certainly good. All and all a great experience. Everyone in our party enjoyed it! The only thing lacking was leftovers.

The food was delicious as always. Our server, Alberto, was attentive and polite. We had a reservation and got seated right when we arrived. Overall a very positive experience!

Absolutely delicious!! The beet agnolotti was amazing and the rigatoni was delicious too. Highly recommend the onion dip!!
