    The food was just okay. Not worth the price for sure. We sat in a weird area. Not in the bar but not in a dinning room either. The service was fair.

    Food is always good here. It is a bit more expensive than other restaurants, so we are not monthly visitors, but have always been pleased when we go. It is nice to have indoor and outdoor dining options. Food presentation/plating is incredible. It was quiet because we ate early, 5:45, on a Wednesday evening.

    We love Bon Fyre. We moved here from Chicago in 2011 and quickly discovered that there are very very few good restaurants here. Then we went to Bon Fyre (which reminded us very much of LEYE’s Wild Fire.) Very very very good! Beautiful space. Good waitstaff. Great food.

    Food was excellent! Waitress was very good. Not so happy with the hostess though. We arrived very early evening (for our reservation) and hostess took us to an out of the way table in the back. Asked if we could sit at one of the 10-12 empty tables up front in the area around the bar and was told they were “reserved”- we also had a reservation so didn’t quite get that. Seems like a request that should have been easy to accommodate. When we left an hour later at least two were still empty.🙄 Otherwise it was great and we would go back.

    First timers with a party of six. Great service! We had an awesome booth in a corner. Steaks, pasta, risotto, and wagyu burger entrees were delicious. I am gluten-free and they did a great job. I loved my meal, especially the app-size wedge salad. We'll definitely return when visiting Madison again.

    We waited over 20 minutes and no one came to take our order. I had to get up and find someone to call over a server. With that exception, food is excellent although expensive.

    We have always been pleased with our overall experience at Bonfyre! As expected, the food was delicious and the service was excellent! However, there were gnats flying around us during the entire meal and that was annoying and disappointing to say the least!

    Wonderful waitress, great food and a perfect place to meet friends to share the experience. Because we were with friends, we talked more than looked at the menu and Sydney was a perfect waitress. She was attentive without hovering nor did she forget about us. Definitely a place to go back to.
