Step back in time to when going out for dinner meant something really special.

    The restaurant was EMPTY. Our party of 7 were sat at the table closest to kitchen so loud and not a nice view. Waited 10 minutes before a waiter came to table. We received our appetizer and almost finished it before our drinks finally arrived. Had to flag down someone from waitstaff to order more drinks. Order was correct and food was good. When the bill finally came , I asked for the 3%surcharge to be removed from bill and also gave the waiter a gift card along with my credit card for payment. I informed the waiter about the gift card. When I got the bill back the 3% was NOT taken off nor was the gift card. applied to the balance. Waited for waiter to come back and finally brought bill up to front desk. Manager was called and came out a few minutes later. Took approximately 15 minutes to get corrected. When I got the corrected bill it just showed the balance but did not have a line to put tip on. Manager and waiter had disappeared , waited a few more minutes .... Ended up putting cash for tip and left. Food was good but certainly wasn't worth the frustration. The service ruined the night!!!

    Wonderful restaurant. Great food and service. Warm ambience, and not too loud like some other restaurants can be. Love the onion bread with whipped butter they put on the table. Entrees are great and incredible sides. And nice to earn "Lettuce Entertain You" points.

    What happened to Wild Fire? I have never experienced such poor service especially in an empty restaurant. I had to get up twice to find our waiter. When he did show up, I asked him if he had a good nap. Besides the slow service, the meal was adequate. What was the most appalling action was when the staff started to turn chairs onto tables before while we were still seated and it was not even 10pm. This is a grossly mismanaged restaurant that I will never return.

    Waitstaff was extremely disappointing. They didn’t come around and get drink orders beyond our first drink and seemed to just be annoyed that we were there.

    We had the best dinner at Wildfire! We had a variety of items-the Monday special fried chicken, lamb porterhouse, the haddock Easter special. Everything was top notch! We shared the chopped salad as an app. OMG…so delicious! Drinks were also very good. My husband had the old fashioned and he said it was one of the best he’s had. We will be back when we’re in town again. Highly recommend!

    The ambience is very nice, the food could be better. The onion soup had too much cheese, almost no onion flavour. The Branzino fish was delicious, but very small. The meat was OK.

    Ordered the medallions steaks medium well, all three pieces were cooked at different levels. Restaurant and staff was very accommodating by offering another entrée of the same dish. Remade entrée came out, and the same issue occurs with the different temperature levels of the medallions.  besides, that the staff is excellent and the place has a beautiful ambience.
