Had a great lunch at Wildfire! Jennifer was our server and she was very attentive. We ate at a booth in the bar. We had their delicious cornbread. Then we split the French dip(on the rare side) with extra crispy French Fries. Everything was yummy! It’s one of my favorite sandwiches. We had a little flourless chocolate cake as a birthday treat for dessert. We sat for awhile and talked, no one bothered us. Everything was very enjoyable.
