Fire is a great local spot. It is very popular. Tasty small plates to share and delicious entrees to enjoy. Service is friendly and focused. The only issue is the lack of reservations. The wait can be very long. In my view this is completely unnecessary. I would certainly visit much more often if I could make reservations and avoid the long wait.Hello GlennR, thank you for the review. We appreciate your words and you taking the time to write. In order to honor reservations, Tables must be held open so that when you walk in you have a table immediately available. There are many complications with reservations that are unknown to the general public and typically loss of business due to holding tables open. Our call ahead priority seat list basically acts like a reservation and the goal is to seat you immediately, however sometimes we cannot predict when a table will get up before you and many people sit longer than expected so you may end up waiting a little bit. On a typical busy night our wait can be up to an hour and a half to two hours for walk in business, and the call ahead list will get sat within 15 to 30 minutes. Which in reality is a typical wait time for reservations in most busy restaurants. So call ahead days or weeks in advance and get on the priority seating list. It truly works. Thank you again. Cheers...

We were surprised at entering a bar but were quickly directed upstairs to the restaurant. Evidently we didn't look like the drinking kind, and they were correct. Our waitress was very helpful. My wife got Fish Tacos (she chose grilled tilapia). I ordered a Cajun Chicken sandwich, which I was told was a little spicy. We both skipped fried potatoes for Black Beans & Rice Topped with Pico De Gallo. The wait seemed to be a bit long-ish even though there weren't many patrons. In fact, it was slow enough that staff were eating on their meal breaks. The black beans and rice were amazing. My wife really enjoyed her fish tacos. I enjoyed the combination of avocado (mashed, not sliced) mixed with the spicy chicken in every bite. I needed my Diet Coke to wash away the growing heat, from the cajun spices as well as the pico de gallo. Not "horrible" hot, but enough to retain for an hour after we departed. A second Diet Coke arrived without even a hint from me, so the waitress did her job well. And, she accepted feedback about her "little spicy" comment. Only then did she tell me they could have kicked it down a notch if I'd asked. Too late. I'd be happy to return, and since they're just down the block from my daughter's house, I'm sure we will.

The title is practically my entire review. Although the waitress assured us that the food had just come directly from the kitchen, it was barely heated.Did a customer once get burned by an entree and since then -- to avoid potential injury and lawsuits -- the food is served tepid at best?"Chambre" is for wine....not, eggs, potatoes, pancakes, etc.won't be back.

While you will need to bring your wallet as it is not the cheapest fare, Jameson's is well worth the price tag. A wide range of high level americana is available to choose from off of the formal menu. The dining room's ambiance lends itself well to a romatic evening with that special somebody but is also not dressed up to the point that a familial gathering would be out of place there. The must have is their Filet, cooked to perfection. My mouth is watering just typing this up! Get on over to Jameson's and enjoy the best steak in Bloomingdale!

My daughters who are picky eaters are all happy with breakfast meals here.Hello Dawn! Thank you for selecting us as one of your favorite spots! Happy to see that you and your daughters liked it here.

Visiting long term from STL, and we wanted a place that was good, popular, moderately priced and accepted reservations for 12. Very popular place in Schaumburg. Cool vibe and surroundings; kids enjoyed the atmosphere. That's where the positives stop for us. Waited 25 minutes past the time our reservation was made for (they why make a reservation you ask!); service was very poor and very slow; of the 8 adult meals, 4 of them were incorrect; one they simply completely forgot about (a salmon dish) and it came a whopping 25 minutes after all other food arrived (and they didn't even offer to take it off the bill or discount it); my daughter's chicken wrap was the incorrect wrap. It wasn't what she ordered at all, but we had already waited so long, no one wanted to send anything back. But they still billed us extra for avocado that was supposed to be in the wrap that my daughter ordered, which we never even received because they gave her the wrong sandwich. And when I asked the waitress about it, she said "well, I already put it through to the credit card". I said that was unacceptable as I shouldn't pay for something that wasn't received. She was miffed but another 10 minutes later, her manager got it handled. My sister's salad was incorrect. The "Fire Shrimp" appetizer was bland. My Mac and Cheese was very bland. My niece waited 15 minutes for a side of mayo. Bottom line ... from our one time experience, this place is WAY OVER RATED on TA. We would not return.

My wife dislikes the pubs I usually pick, but Anyway's menu is much broader than just burgers and finger food. They sat us near a gas-fueled fireplace which made our visit more cozy. She ordered Pesto Salmon with veggies. Predictable me, I got the Owners Burger with Onion Rings instead of French fries and a Diet Coke. She liked her meal. I was floored by my burger, which had melty cheese, mushrooms and greens on it. Really juicy, which is why I ate it upside down. No really, that's a thing. Check YouTube for the British video. The rings were golden brown and delicious. Real onion inside and not greasy. Quite a lovely and filling meal. We'll be back, to try something different off their menu. And please join their eClub thing. I showed the waitress the welcoming email and she deducted $10 from our bill. Great eats and a discount? A winner.
