    We always try to sit in the a booth in the bar area. Cathy is the best server and bartender. We like the food and atmosphere. We were happy to see they had a broth based soup today. I wish Wildfire would always have at least 1 broth based soup item. Cream soups don't agree with many many people. We recommend Wildfire in Lincolnshire IL

    I haven’t been to Benihana in many years and it exceeded my expectations. The food and drinks were excellent and the table experience was enjoyable. Plus very attentive service from the bar to the wait staff to our table cook. I recommend Benihana over Ron of Japan.
