Following the Algauer's Thanksgiving experience now the Riverfront Grill. Thanksgiving buffet offered large selections including oysters and shrimp on ice. Salad bar and desert bars were great. Carving station was delicious. Increaed price was expensive. Service was okay but probably not to my expectations with the price. Champagne included is very nice. I'd still go back.

We occasionally go to Wildfire in Glenview, Illinois. We have never had a bad experience there. The food is great, the service is great, there is no problem parking, we never wait when we get in, although we always make a reservation. Our most recent trip was for Thanksgiving and the meal was excellent. It is a must try restaurant for sure!

We started with the Brussels Sprouts and they were crispy and excellent! We all had burgers for dinner and they were cooked to perfection! The cotton Candy for dessert was a huge hit for the birthday boy!
