About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for business meals
  • Good for groups
Step back in time to when going out for dinner meant something really special. From the decor to the jazz music, Wildfire has the style and warmth that makes it perfect for celebrating with friends or a quiet evening for two. The extensive menu features broiled steaks and chops, wood-roasted seafood and roasted meats, all prepared in an open kitchen. Signature dishes include Horseradish Crusted Filet Mignon, Macadamia Nut Crusted Halibut, Wildfire Chopped Salad and Cedar Planked Salmon. So order a signature martini or one of our many wines by the glass, then sit back and enjoy the 1940s supper club experience of Wildfire.

    The service was exceptional, and the New York strip steak was nearly perfect (too much gristle). A “small” salad is enough for three people. If you're looking for a local vibe, give them a try.

    My steaks were not prepared as I requested, and the baked potatoes were overcooked. Additionally, the cookie skillet was burnt on the bottom. The waiter frequently disappeared for about 30 minutes, resulting in an overall poor experience. It's disappointing to see a noticeable decline in quality at this restaurant. This needs to be addressed.

    I hate to write this because Wildfire used to be my go-to, but the food quality has declined. I met a friend at 7:30 on a Friday, and despite plenty of open seats, apparently there was a wait. I made a reservation via OpenTable and was seated immediately. The appetizers (French onion soup and baked goat cheese) were great, but my main course was disappointing. The potatoes were undercooked, the creamed spinach was just okay, and the steak had a burnt, metallic taste with too much fat, despite being a filet. I only managed one full bite. On a positive note, our server was excellent, and we had a wonderful conversation.

    The food as always, was excellent. Our waitress was very friendly & courteous. My friend steak was so tender and juicy he could cut it with a butter knife. I will be back, for another Great experience very soon…..⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    We were a party of 4 at the Erie Location celebrating dinner before my wedding the next day. We were greeted warmly and promptly sat in a beautiful booth. Our server Christian was friendly, extremely professional and helpful…and so very kind. He coursed out our entire meal perfectly. I flagged down a Female Manager to compliment Christian and we ended up talking about everything under the sun for about 10 minutes. I’m just sad that I didn’t catch her name (shorter, dirty-blond hair). They all made our evening absolutely perfect. Thank you Wildfire Chicago for hiring such great staff!!!
