Dining room at Wildfire, Chicago, ILA campfire aroma from the wood-burning rotisserie, oven and grill pervades this classic interpretation of a ’40s supper club. You’ll find lots of stone with a sunken center section and higher booths flanking the perimeter. The space feels as though it's been here for many years (it hasn't). Food is usually the real deal, and the portions are generous. Choose from burgers to aged steaks, grilled salmon and barbecued ribs. We particularly like the wood-fired garlic chicken with a martini alongside. Sides and salads are à la carte but are worthwhile and big enough to share. But don't stop there---the desserts are creative---especially the Snickers ice cream sandwich. There’s also a gluten-free menu on hand. Other locations.
