    The food ad service was excellent! I had forgotten about Wildfire as a restaurant of choice when considering a night out. We both had the Parmesan encrusted cod. Suburb! Green beans a red skin mash potatoes. It’s getting close to Thanksgiving so looking forward to a meal not turkey or chicken. Our meals were so good we couldn’t believe it at first. It’s was as if it were my mom’s home cooking. Supurb and a great comfort food at the same time. We will definitely be back soon. Can’t wait!

    Absolutely magnificent lunch. Delicious house made pate appetizer. Creamy melt in your mouth quiche with a bounty of salad that could have made a meal in itself. Make sure you save room for the chocolate pate dessert. This is the type of restaurant you wish you had in your own neighborhood so you could go there often. Even though it was a 30 minute ride from me, I’ll be back.

    Our waitress was great. She took our drinks order and gave us time to look over the menu and talk. It was my family member’s birthday and we got something special from the kitchen. I had to get something changed and I found the person who helped me earlier to assist me. We loved the food and enjoyed celebrating there!
