Today was my daughters birthday! Her girlfriend suggested we go out for dinner when they got off work so I met them downtown (Chicago).
I took the train (which I love).....you travel through some of the most interesting neighborhoods. When I got to Union station I jumped in a cab for a quick ride to their workplace. At first I thought about walking there but then I decided it was a wee bit too cold!!!! When we pulled to the side of the street the ladies hopped in the taxi and we were off to the restaraunt (Wildfire). The atmophere was lovely, the servers were friendly and attentive. I must also mention the decor was nice with an open kitchen concept, it was also very clean!
This was my first time there so our friend (L) made some suggestions! We tried the house salad which was dee-lish! They served two types of bread with this too! For the entree I ordered the same as (L) barbecued chicken, it was so good (moist and delicious). After our meals the server brought over a small chocolate molten-like cake with a candle on it and we sang HAPPY BIRTHDAY! We all shared a bite of it....next.....we ordered a desert to share. The desert had three types of sweeties on it with berries!!!! Yummy, it was good.
During our dinner we had some wonderful conversations. We chatted about family, cruises, Chicago's north and south side!!! I really had a great time and I hope we don't have to wait until another birthday to do it again!!!!!! CHEERS! Michele

Michele,
Happy birthday to your daughter. She is a beautiful girl! Sounds (and looks) like you had a great time! I worked downtown for awhile so I got used to walking in the cold. So many things to look at can distract you!!
Have been to the Wildfire in Oakbrook & loved it! :-)
Have a great weekend!!

Sounds like such a fun night. And that food looks and sounds delicious! My mouth is watering. It is too bad that we wait until an "occasion" to have great times like that. You're right, we need to make time to do it when there is not an "occasion". Thanks for the reminder. laurie
Look like FUN and YUM!
Yea to February birthdays!
ENJOY your weekend!

Thank you for visiting my blog and Im exciting your joining us on our menu challange.
What a nice birthday in the windy city!
Aw, look at you adorable ladies. I miss Chicago so much! While I'm sure it was gorgeous outside, I can imagine it was a bit cold still {esp. with that wind, ha!} for walking. I'm going to try to visit my best friend in Chicago sometime this Spring - it's so fun!
Happy Birthday to her! It looks like you had a great time! That dessert looks wonderful...!!

Hey! I saw your blog on Sunday Baker.....actually I was drawn to the PUG. I have a fat Puggy named Susie~
Looks like a fun birthday dinner! I have a sister that lives in Chicago, I'll have to ask to go to Wildfire's the next time I visit her.
Take care.

Sounds like a very nice birthday celebration. Thanks for the restaurant review. My dd lives in Chicago and we are always looking for someplace new to eat.
Your daughter is so pretty.

Ah..the architectural firm I used to work for did "lunch & learns" 1-2x a month and it was usually catered by Wildfire. Mmm..mm!
Thanks for sharing!
