Cheryl and I went out to dinner at Wildfire in Oakbrook Illinois last night with another couple Kent and Kirsten; here are our impressions.
The food was outstanding, service respectable, and I am certainly looking forward to our next visit.
Cheryl and I ordered mussels for an appetizer. They were pretty large, and I think I prefer smaller ones.
I ordered the 10 oz prime rib cooked medium. I will order this again on my next visit as it was the best prime rib I’ve ever had. I got the mashed potatoes for my side dish.
Cheryl went with salmon cooked on a cedar plank with brown sugar. She loved it! I make a cedar salmon on the grill with maple syrup and although she didn’t admit it, I think she might prefer the Wildfire offering over mine. She got broccoli for her side. Everyone loved the maple pecan pie for dessert.
Kent and Kirsten ordered different flavors of Filet, which they enjoyed. For her side, Kirsten ordered a sweet potato; beware, it was gigantic. Actually so big that she might have been a bit intimidated by it.
The place was packed, but they seated us immediately with our advance reservations.
Overall, excellent experience.
