Review posted 03/01/08

Normally, only a single visit to a restaurant is made before I write a review...  I have actually been to Wildwood Restaurant in Geneva several times over the past year or so, but I simply have not generated a full review -- something that I cannot explain... and so I will offer no excuses.  However, it is certainly time to share with you my thoughts on what I believe could be one of the finer destinations in the area for lunch, dinner or even Sunday Brunch.

Occupying a fairly large portion of the Dodson Place shopping area on Third Street -- about a block and a half north of the Geneva Metra Station -- the venue actually has two different entrances, each offering a slightly different view of the restaurant and a different feel as well.  There is one entrance from Third Street that takes one through a sort of portico and then into a huge bar and lounge area that is complete with low cocktail tables and plush leather chairs, a large floor-to-ceiling stone-faced gas fireplace and a grand piano.  The bar itself is copper-topped, perhaps 30 feet long and can easily accommodate a dozen or more guests.  The colors are warm, there is a lot of dark wood, and the muted glow from the numerous inverted and hanging yellow fluted lamps adds an ambience that is hard to beat.  Double doors lead from the lounge to the dining room...
