Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Villa Park

Wildfire was terrific! Food choices were outstanding and the quality first rate. Our server Dan was perfect!

We reserved a table for our anniversary and when we were seated, there was a card showing “Happy Anniversary”; what a beautiful welcome! Our server, Davis, came by, introduced himself, and offered us a complimentary flute of sparkling wine, which we accepted. We ended up ordering a bottle of the sparkling wine with dinner it was that good. We started with splitting a sautéed calamari app since my wife has a gluten allergy; it was a bit hot but very tasty. She had the beet salad next and I had the Caesar salad, both on pointe. Our entrees were the chef’s sliced tenderloin with cippolinni onions and mushrooms and the tomahawk veal chop with mushrooms and demi-glacé. Both were off-the-hook and actually too much for us to finish so we asked to have our leftovers wrapped. After our entrees, Davis brought a complimentary dessert plate with a flourless chocolate mini cake and a mini cheesecake with “Happy Anniversary” stenciled in chocolate. What a finishing touch! We thoroughly enjoyed our visit; the atmosphere and cuisine was outstanding! Davis made our evening very memorable and we even had a visit from the manager on duty to wish us anniversary greetings!

We had such a good time! I had my 2 year old Daughter with us and they couldn’t have been more accommodating to kids there! Our chef was great and entertaining, food was great. Out server was super friendly. Overall just a great experience

From beginning to end, it was a great dinner. We arrived early for our reservation so found seats at the bar. Cocktails were all very good. They had a great list of mock tails too. Violi has a really cool vibe, but the conversation is loud if that bothers you. Great service. Plates are designed to share and all 6 of us did. We liked everything we tried from the lamb shank to branzino and the mousaka. Will definitely return !

Last year i went on new years day and it was way less like 120 for 2 people. 150 w tip. This new years day. I was not told it would be additional holiday pricing. It cost me 211 w tip for 2 people. used to be 50 per dinner then it had gone up to 60 then 70 now 80 on holidays. Its good but becoming way overpriced. Why so many changes. Also last yr dinner was going on at 4 430. I went in today and was told it was not open til 5 but there were reservation options listed for the whole day online. Servers were not as nice as usual
