    I loved the new menue! We ordered farm greens salad and smoked fingerling potatoes- both appetizers were excellent. We also had oysters, they were fresh and delicious. We will definitely come back.

    We happened to be walking by the outdoor seating area of Prairie Fire and noticed the festive lights and the many happy diners. We made the effort to find out the name of the restaurant and decided to make reservations for the following Sunday afternoon. While we had hoped to eat outside, it was a just bit too cool, so we opted for an indoor table where we started with the Hemingway Daiquiri that was smooth, strongly flavored with rum that blended very well with grapefruit and maraschino. It was both subtle and bold, and very satisfying. But what I enjoyed most at Prairie Fire was the wood-fired half-chicken with maple glaze. While it sounds simple, it was truly so outstanding that I told my husband it was the best chicken I'd every had! It was moist, juicy with the co-mingling of smoky wood and delicate maple flavoring that crisped the skin and made each bite delectable.

    Prairie Fire was an interesting experience. While we were there, two tables next to us had returned their food to the kitchen. Our wait staff ignored us and the food was good, but nothing to rave about. Overall the vibes didn’t give what we hoped it would.
