    Started off the meal with appetizers of French onion soup and the complementary bread. The soup was absolutely delicious, and paired with the bread it worked together perfectly. I then ordered the Beef Wellington for my main course. I highly recommend, it was fantastic. The sauce was delicious and the meat was tender and juicy. I finished my meal with the cookie skillet, and it did not disappoint. Overall, this was a great dinner and I highly recommend dining here!

    Great spot for dinner with family or friends. This time we ended up in the back room which was perfect, small and quiet. Our server seems to be little to stressed and was rushing thru everything but we managed to have a great experience with a group of friends. Food as always was great. My New York Strip came out at the temperature requested and my wife’s parmesan crusted cod was delicious (Special) The bar did a great job sending out drinks quickly. My wife’s gin based Rouge French 75 was excellent. Overall great experience. I recommend utilizing the Lettuce Eats App when dinning here.

    The food was disgusting!!! Reservations was at 8:00pm. At least you are seated promptly. Food was cold , lettuce wasn’t fresh, creamy spinach was warm, half slab of ribs was terrible, both dishes of broccoli cold and bland, the coconut shrimp was the best thing that came out , they even give u burnt food. Well done does not mean burnt to crisp. The majority of our food had to be sent back to be recooked. I would never spend my money here again. The onion bread was cold also. Despite it all we still have the server a 12$ tip.. why? We had no straws , no paper napkins, he just kept forgetting stuff. I didn’t even take photos of the other food . We were so disappointed and dissatisfied.

    We were here for an event and despite the restaurant being very busy- the service was amazing! No complaints regarding any of the food- just wish I took pictures to include in this review. The filet was cooked to perfection ! If you’re in the area- do not pass this place up!

    Wildfire has been one of my family's go-to restaurants for celebrating special occasions like birthdays and anniversaries. The steaks are of impeccable quality (and priced much more reasonably than Ditka's or Michael Jordan's steakhouse). Creamed spinach and au gratin potatoes are definitely the best side dishes here. Blue cheese wedge salad and crab bisque are excellent choices for a starter. Creme brulee and key lime pie are outstanding. Service has never faltered and the atmosphere is very classy. Wildfire gets all 5's from me, they've been that good for decades now. I HIGHLY recommend.

    My best friend took me here as a spontaneous birthday dinner and she got us both a martini flight. The best drink in that flight was the Stormy Night 😍 so she ordered it regular size seperately as well. It had a sour & fun taste to it. The complimentary bread was warm and soft also. For dinner, I had the Roumanian Skirt Steak with a side of Potatoes Au Gratin. The skirt steak could have been plated better but it was cooked to a perfect medium and the caramelized onions were used as the base flavor with a hint of either Worcestershire sauce or a nice red wine. At least that's what it tasted like to me. The potatoes were delicious but undercooked and I honestly didn't have the will to send it back, I was hungry. They tasted like alfredo meets potato. All in all, service was amazing, and food and drinks had good flavor. Would go back again.

    Had a girls night last night and it was also the first time trying this location. We arrived a little early so we drank at the bar for a bit until our table was ready. Service was fast and drinks were delicious!! They got our table ready 15 minutes earlier than our reservation time, so that was a plus. Dinner was great! I got the NY strip steak and the loaded baked potato. The steak was a tad on the saltier side but my friends liked it as is, so maybe just my preference. The loaded potato was simple yet soo tasty. I had a few of the raspberry cosmos and honestly was feeling them! They were such a subtle and refreshing taste of raspberry, probably my favorite martini now. For dessert I got the warmed up cookie with ice cream on top but the cookie was way too rich for me. I didn’t even asked for it to me taken off the bill but the waiter took it off because he had asked me if there was a problem with it (because he noticed I didn’t eat it) and I just told him it was way too rich for me and I just didn’t like it. Very nice of him because I would have paid for it! Our main waiter was great, very attentive but not overly on top of us about anything, but the waiters going around clearing plates were a little too much. My friend was eating a burger and every 2 minutes someone would come by asking if they can take her plate. One time she even had the burger in hand ready to take a bite! lol we laughed it off bit it was a little too much. We had no idea why we were feeling rushed out because there was a lot of people inside still. We looked up the time and they did close soon so maybe that’s why. We asked one of the waiters if we needed to go and he said no stay as long as we’d like, but still others kept asking if she was done to take her plate. We’d probably come back but definitely at an earlier time

    We went to wildfire for my cousins birthday. It was amazing due to the atmosphere and my surroundings. However, the service was not all that, and the food was very well prepared. However, it was tasteless. It didn’t have any flavor the steak that I got was a good cut of meat. It was cooked to perfection however, it didn’t have any taste. I had reservations for 830 and I did not get seated until 915 . The service was very slow anytime we needed anything we could not find the server. It’s like he took our order and brought us our drinks and then disappeared… it took forever for them to bring the check as well

    It was a busy Saturday evening but with our reservation we were able to get seated quickly. Our server was amazing he was knowledgeable and funny. The food was delicious as always. I got an old fashioned which I enjoyed and my wife got a French 75 that she loved. Get the steak! The filet was cooked perfectly! Will be coming back soon!

    Hear me now. The sesame-seed buns at this place are amazing. Excellent Turkey Burger and Grilled Chicken Sandwich. Wish the French Fries were a little crisper but the coleslaw made up for it! Would recommend booth seating. Service is always friendly and pretty efficient.

    Amazing food selection. If you're looking to go all in, the 22oz Prime Rib is incredible! I recommend with a loaded baked potato! Service is great, and a nice atmosphere for friendly, family, or romantic meals.

  • 3/5 Thea J. 10 months ago on Google
    This was my first time here. Food was mediocre. We ordered two steaks medium and one of the steaks came out well done. We had to ask a different waiter to get us a new steak cooked medium. That took another 20 minutes or so. The other food got cold while waiting for that. Do not, I repeat DO NOT order an old fashion from here. It tasted like club soda with whiskey. I don’t know who the bartender is but they need to be trained on how to make actual drinks. Waitress was nice but wasn’t the most attentive. I realize this isn’t a 5 star restaurant downtown but I thought it would be a little better. The best thing was the rolls and butter.

    We had our dating anniversary dinner here. The onion bread was savory and soft, despite the fact that I am not a fan of onion bread, I enjoyed it! My husband had the shrimp lobster bisque soup which was luscious and creamy. I had the Parmesan crusted cod fish with green beans and sautéed mushrooms. My fish was light and delicious. The green beans were cooked perfectly and the mushrooms were tasty. My husband had the short ribs with mashed potatoes. He loved the mashed potatoes but said the short ribs were more like pot roast than ribs. So, he was disappointed with his dish. We were given a flourless chocolate cake for our anniversary which was delicious! My husband ordered the key lime pie. Both desserts were substantial in size and so deliciously rich! We will be back!

    Went to Wild Fire Saturday early to avoid the crowds- our waitress Shelsea was awesome! She gave us good advice on our food, and everything was just delicious! We told her we were there for our anniversary so she brought us a piece of cake with a candle and even offered to take our picture! We had some gift cards and discounts, but left her a good tip. She was cheerful, very pleasant and easy to talk to! She even lives the next town over from us! If we eat there again we’d love to sit in her section! Very nice dinner and waitress!

    The cocktails here are way overpriced. For example, their Manhattan "made with specially bottled Basil Hayden bourbon," is $17.00. Really?? First of all, Basil Hayden is not a premium bourbon, and the menu is noticeably vague about what makes the bottling of it "special" in this case. Since Basil Hayden doesn't make a bottled-in-bond expression, I wondered if perhaps the bottles were shipped with cute Lettuce Entertain-You-labels. Bulking at the $17.00 price, I asked the waitress if the bartender could make me a cheaper Manhattan with the understanding that it would be less extraordinary--one made with Markers Mark perhaps. "Yes," she indicated, though she couldn't tell me exactly what the price would be. The resulting Manhattan was indeed not special at all--very mediocre, in fact. But when the bill came it was even more than the one on the menu: $17.55 to be exact! Really???? So much for trying to buy a reasonably priced cocktail at this place. Next time I'll order a Coke.

    This is always an amazing experience, as a walk in I've always been seated within 30 minutes or less. The servers are great at their jobs and knowledgeable of the menu's dishes and ingredients. Food is always 👌🏾.

    Wildfire was a great dinner. The scallop skewers were great, and I enjoyed the mushroom crusted pork chops. Our waiter was great and it was a nice evening at Wildfire.

    I actually ordered Uber Eats because I'm working. It was my first time eating here. I ordered crab cake appetizer. It was pretty good. I would have just wanted my crab cake to be a bit more crisp. It was soft. I also ordered the three steak medallions. Worst steak in a while. The steak was cooked medium well. And I ordered rhe mushroom, parm, and horseradish topping. All were bland. I cook often. And I travel the US ordering specific items. This was a fail. Also, the lobster tail topped either parmesan was bland. Overall, the most I can tell them is that seasoning exists and grilling alone is not enough for flavor.

    Had the 22 oz Prime Rib. Excellent. Ambiance was nice although a tad loud and restrooms were clean and pleasant smelling. Service was very good as she came around a few times to make sure our wine and water glasses were full and if everything was alright.

    Came here for a late lunch with my Mom and Aunt to take them out for a nice Sunday. They had great ambiance, as well as food! Love dining here.

  • 2/5 Gina A. 1 year ago on Google
    The lobster bisque isn't a bisque. It has corn in it and small shrimp and the carrots were machine cut. It was barely warm and I ate it because it was 8 bucks. The onion rolls were cold. The martinis were awesome and the bartender had a friendly smile.

    We were in one of the smaller rooms which I loved. The ambience was delightfully filled with seasons greetings. But the true joy was double celebrated birthdays and how the staff was attentive, funny and truly caring. Bread was brought to the table for the warmth of the day while the pork chops and steak literally melted in mine and wife's mouth, juices running over. The night was magical but can you do something bout the parking lol...but nothing can be done most those people were probably in Wildfire...thank you the joyously delicious night. 5 Stars
