The food is always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The warm, welcoming atmosphere and excellent service make it an absolute favorite.

My experience was great for the most part. The restaurant was spacious and comfortable; the atmosphere was lively and fun; the bathrooms were clean; and the food and cocktails were fantastic. I chose Wildfire because our friend has Celiac, so I wanted her to have gluten-free options. She was pleasantly surprised that their gluten-free menu was so long. She said she was used to only having a few choices. The server also offered her gluten-free bread. So if you or someone you know has Celiac disease, this restaurant is a great choice. Just about everything took longer to make it to our table than most restaurants I’ve been to within the last few years. It wasn’t a horrible wait, but it was noticeable. Because of this, our server wasn’t around much. There were several times when I wanted to ask our server about another appetizer or another drink, but she never came by. That’s the only reason I took off one star—that, and the sneaky 3% they add to the check to offset costs. Yes, you can ask them to remove it, but it’s not like this restaurant is super cheap anyway. Why not add the 3% to the food in general if you’re struggling as a business? Regardless, I would definitely return.

I wish I could remember the name of our waiter, he was freaking awesome! The food was great! And the portions were huge! My daughter has a gluten restriction, and we had to double check to make sure that she got the gluten free pancakes because we seriously couldn't tell the difference! Very tasty! We'll definitely be back!

Green Joe has great espresso, and thats all I've ever gotten here. They always have an array of local artists' wares on display, which is very cool of them. I noticed, as have many others, that they slowly ran out of things and closed down over the last few weeks/months, which was, as a customer, weird to witness. As for the negatives - this wasn't a coffee place you could go if you liked pastries with your coffee. All they stocked was a small selection of gluten free/vegan options, and the ones I tried were honestly the *worst*, inedible gluten free products I've encountered. The atmosphere was cold, I dont remember them ever playing music, and the only appreciable light was cool daylight from the huge windows. All hard surfaces - not a great spot to hang out if comfy cozy Cafe is your preferred vibe. The employees gave a similarly disconnected vibe - almost none of them were outwardly friendly, it was almost like ordering coffee from robots most of the time. Regardless, GJC is/was the only independent coffee shop in a huge radius. Their pricing was great as was the espresso. I certainly hope they can reopen, at least for the sake of all the locals who lived closer than I did. If not, I guess Brewpoint and Conscious Cup are my only remaining options!

This review is strictly based on their Happy Hour special Sip and Flatbread. Priced at only 14.99 you get your choice of a Sip..wine or selected craft cocktails and your choice of one of their flatbreads. Gluten free crust only 2.00 more Made a reservation for the bar for 500pm and we were seating immediately. Happy Hour is Mon-Fri 3-6pm. We were greated by our server Susan who was amazing. We each started with a glass of red wine and each ordered a flatbread. We were not rushed at all which was very nice. My wife had the gluten free Pesto Chicken and Mozzarella flatbread that was loaded with flavor. Cipollini onions,roasted red peppers and arugula. I had one of their Winter flatbreads.. Chipotle BBQ Shrimp with grilled pineapple,feta cheese and grilled poblano peppers. Very tasty even tho I didn't taste a lot of pineapple. For dessert they have mini shot glasses of various desserts. I had the Pecan Pie with a Vanilla Bean Mousse. Absolutely delicious Their menu changes with the seasons so we can't wait to go back for their Spring menu.

City Works is the perfect spot for our get together lunch with long-time friends. Easy reservation for our group of 7. Great atmosphere to visit. The food and service was PHENOMENAL! We all ordered something different and every single one of us loved our meal! Tyler, our server, took the very best care of us including special orders for dietary restrictions. (I need to eat gluten and dairy free. Tyler even made sure that my food was prepped separately.) We have made City Works our spot to meet up!

Allie Hendrickson

Our server Hayley was amazing in letting us know that the menu is very gluten free friendly. We did order the big shareable appetizer and we were able to order the calamari grilled and on a separate plate from the rest of the fried potions. We definitely will be coming again.

Emma Janzen

This restaurant was great! They had a fair number of gluten free options for someone with Celiac. The service was also amazing. We were greeted, seated immediately at 11am on a Sunday, our server was phenomenal, and we were checked on repeatedly. If we lived in the area, we would be regulars!

Jeanne Weber

Lovely place for our out of town visit with family. The food delicious, the service excellent, everyone pleased! What more could you ask for? Ah, yes, and gluten free! Marvelous.

Best gluten free pancakes!!

Carol Tukker

The meal was delicious. I have celiac disease and was able to find delicious items to eat. The waitress (Nicki) was very kind, helpful and attentive to serving us and checking items with the chef.

Anthony Lanzi

The wait staff was very friendly. However, there was a significant wait to get the meats delivered to the table. Some of the meat was just “ok”, while others were amazing! Salad bar was pretty good. Limited gluten free options because it was included in things you wouldn’t think (Ranch?).

Angela Cupeles

After trying unsuccessfully to find an entrance we realized that it was a hotel entrance. The waitress was excellent, she understood that my friend hadn't eaten in 24 hours and brought her coffee immediately along with our food in less than 10 minutes. The gluten free waffle was fantastic, the egg white scramble was hot and tasty. My friend inhaled her large breakfast platter and finally her face was pink. An excellent breakfast. I would go there again. If you don't like children playing near you don't dine here, it doesn't bother me. Everybody needs to eat.

Kelly Holt

This restaurant always delivers great customer service and great food. They provide gluten free pancakes which I appreciate.

Laura Eder

Great food from a terrific menu with delicious allergy free options for vegans, gluten free, etc. Nice decor, spacious dining room and good service. It’s already popular so expect to wait for a table on a weekend.

Clean environment, expansive outdoor bar area, and gorgeous interior. It's the perfect backdrop for a date, celebration or any special occasion. It feels really elegant and classy. The staff is so professional and attentive to your needs. The pork chop is the famous dish here, although I wasn't able to taste it. With dairy and gluten restrictions, I did enjoy the salmon. It was cooked perfectly though not well done.

Brittany Moldenhauer

It’s so hard to find places to eat out when you are gluten, dairy, egg, soy and peanut free. But this place is DELICIOUS and fits all my dietary restrictions. It’s a very clean environment. The bowls we created ourselves were full of fresh produce and fish. ai couldn’t have any of the sauces because they include soy but i loaded up on avocado and it was so filling and delish. I do with they had a bit of plain wasabi instead of just the wasabi cream, but oh well!

Noah Rider

Excellent service from Alexis! We ate at the bar and couldn’t have had a better time. My fiancé is gluten free due to celiacs disease and was able to eat the Pollo Chipotle and chips & salsa. I ordered the quesabirria tacos and they were delicious. Best Mexican food in the Chicago suburbs by far! We also love Alejandro!

Gina Biancalana

They have a few gluten free options!!

TT Z

Don't understand how there can be a one star review. The fishes were all fresh, and when it wasn't busy they would cover the fish with a lid to maximize the freshness of the fish we were served, which I've never seen at any other poke store. The prices are affordable, each REGULAR size signature bowl is only $12.95. You can also build your own bowl with unlimited toppings. Most importantly there are more aucentic sauces options than other places, and all are gluten free which is awesome, especially recommend ono shoyu sacue. Very nice presentation as well. Would definetly come back.

Fred Lybrand

Stayed at hotel. Ate here three times - great dinner, breakfast, bar food. Lots of gluten free options. Appetizers - corn cakes, cauliflower, wings, were great. Salads were impressive. Had the NY strip steak for entree, cooked perfectly. Breakfast was large. Prices are high, not unreasonable. Good quality. Beautiful open space and nice staff.

Jules S. Ro (Jules)

Beautiful atmosphere and wonderful, attentive staff at Brazil Express Grill. There are plenty of options for those with a gluten allergy, but some signage and menu items can be misleading. I hope they correct it! It's also great if you're vegetarian looking to indulge in the salad bar.

Maaz Ali (Mohammed)

Decent food, reasonable prices, good portions. Gluten free pizza was okay, they have separate fryer for French fries. Cheese fries were okay as well, cheese could use improvement, tasted like it came from a can(Processed taste). Philly steak sandwich was good.

JD McNelis

The food is always really good. I'm gluten free and they have lots of options.

Steve Mack

Good food and service, not the best of either but very consistent and reliable. The prices are reasonable for the quality and portions. The fifth star is because they have a good selection of gluten free items on the menu that have never caused me a problem. Been going there for over 20 years now. Nice outside area when the weather's good. Don't look down on it because it's at the golf course. That allows it to ride the coattails of their catering which has to help with prices and quality.
