FireLake Grill House and Cocktail Bar

Loved my visit here. From the moment you walk in, the vibe is warm, inviting, and polished without feeling stuffy.

The wood-fired cooking can be tasted in the food. Everything came out fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. The standout for me though was the cocktail menu. The drinks are creative and cleverly named after different Chicago places, which adds a fun unique touch and they’re just as good as they are inventive. Be sure to try the Brachs Candy if you are a candy lover; it’s made with vanilla crown royal!

Bonus points for their happy hour (Monday–Thursday, 4–7 PM), which makes this an easy go-to whether you’re meeting friends after work or grabbing a pre theater bite downtown. Definitely worth a visit.

The soup was cold, the fish had a strong fishy taste, and the broccoli was overcooked with terrible texture. Overall, it was one of the most disappointing meals I’ve ever had.

If you like prime rib cold and tough, well this is the place for you. Took most of it home to give to my dog. Also, the service is really bad.

I dined here with Clients and we had a lovely time. The food was great and we had AWESOME service! I would definitely go back!

We love the mega pretzel! You'll need 4 or more people or plan on taking some home. We've been a few times and we usually stick to appetizers (cheese curds and onion rings are good too). We don't love the flatbreads. Service is a bit inconsistent but adequate.

Four of us went in on a Saturday night for dinner and sat on the patio. Patio is small and sits on a busy sidewalk. Inside is spacious and seemed quiet/not full. Out of our four meals ordered, only two of us received the correct dish. The two of us who received the wrong thing said it was fine, we'll eat this. The dish I ordered was a steak with polenta and tomatoes. I really ordered it because polenta sounded good, and I told the server this. If they would bring me a side of polenta then we're all good and I'll keep the dish you already served me and I touched, so you don't have to toss it/make something new. (it was steak frites) When the bill comes out, the server informs us they took 15% off the total to make up for the mistakes. Great. Except they billed us for the meals served, not the meals ordered, one of which was more expensive than what was ordered. To top it off, they charged us for the side of polenta too! I should have just sent the entire meal back.

Nice enough place, good enough food. It’s in the bottom of the Raddison hotel. I missed that it was a hotel restaurant and it’s about what you’d expect.

This establishment offered an ungracious experience, it offered minimal seating to accommodate multiple parties, the bathroom of a place serving food and drink has limited bathroom access by keys. Waiters were tasting beverages rather then tending to customers. Overall medicore experience

Had to hunt down an employee every step of the way, even to have them pick our credit card up.

Finally had a chance to try the happy hour at FireLake and let me tell you it did not disappoint. This restaurant is located on the main floor of the Radisson Blu and it offers relaxing dinning room with full bar and outdoor patio.
We were told that this year the restaurant introduced Happy Hour on Thursdays and food selection is great. We got the giant pretzel which was ginormous, the burger was tasty and the wings had a smokey flavor with crisp and sweet bite.
Service was great and the rotating cocktails were delicious.

went to fire lake grill on a wednesday and honestly, it was kind of a mess. the water tasted like straight tap with a splash of chlorine, which really set the tone. tried to sub a side and apparently that’s not allowed—guess flexibility isn’t on the menu. the server was super pushy and didn’t bother writing anything down, even though my order was kinda complicated. surprise surprise, it came out wrong, and they didn’t seem to care much. also, the plate was so small i had to strategize just to cut my food without flinging it off the edge. the food itself wasn’t terrible, but between the weird vibe, loud music, and oddly dim lighting, it just wasn’t a great time. wouldn’t go out of my way to come back.

The food is decent and the signature drinks are pretty good. The food service is fast but the server wasn't attentive. They came around with water quite a bit. Our food came on tiny cutting boards which leaves no room for actual eating. It's very loud and I found it tough to hear our server.
