Step back in time to when going out for dinner meant something really special. From the decor to the jazz music, Wildfire has the style and warmth that makes it perfect for celebrating with friends or a quiet evening for two. The extensive menu features broiled steaks and chops, wood-roasted seafood and roasted meats, all prepared in an open kitchen. Signature dishes include Horseradish Crusted Filet Mignon, Macadamia Nut Crusted Halibut, Wildfire Chopped Salad and Cedar Planked Salmon. So order a signature martini or one of our many wines by the glass, then sit back and enjoy the 1940s supper club experience of Wildfire.

    Decent food, the bisque we had for an app was the highlight as well as the chocolate cream pie for dessert, but slow service. Our dinner took just under 2 hours and it easily could have been 1hr 15 mins.

    We had a family dinner planned and the visit, food and service far exceeded our expectations. We were greeted with a lovely woman at the front who gave the warmest smile. Our waiter, Adam, was especially patient with all of us, including our little one who got a little restless towards the end of dinner. Adam also made great food and wine recommendations. We walked away happy and full. It’s not often when there have been years between visits that the experience and food are the same but this was one of those rare occasions. We will certainly be back!

    The point sale system calculates the tip including the service charge and tax. Tips should be on the food and drink total only. I tipped 18% on that total and the online payment system noted I was only tipping 15%. It’s a scam. It’s already overly expensive to dine out and to try and have people pay higher tips. How about an actual wage.

    Our actual service from waitress was great, the manager however did not allow our party of 11 to sit together even though 2 of them were small children and said the waitress could not handle 11 people over 10 so she needed to split the table. The waitress confirmed that’s not true and that the manager was just being picky. Also there were barely any tables in the restaurant so we had to walk over to the other half of our party so we were not loudly speaking across the restaurant. I understand they don’t want parties over 10 but with the kids I was hopeful there would be an exception… obviously not. I also felt bad because the table that ended up with the kids had a total bill of $80 where the table that was with more adults totaled to $400 so the other server got the worse end of the deal for a tip. Food overall was good just didn’t enjoy our experience unable to sit together as a whole family.
