    Appetizers- Shrimp and the crab stuffed peppers were amazingly good! Also, branzino and short ribs were delicious as well. We didnt like the special drink, but besides that the food was great. Service was on point as well. The only thing we dont like about Libertad is you come away smelling like the you were in the kitchen, because in a way you are. Restaurant needs to find a way to keep the smoke from the kitchen out of the restaurant. Dinner was also very pricey. But we will definitely go back

    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!

    EJ’s Place is our go to restaurant for a great meal and awesome service. They have something for everyone: awesome steak, fresh fish and their meat sauce in their spaghetti is top notch. The valet is complimentary so it’s easy to get in and out (although the guys are super friendly and deserve a decent gratuity too.). We highly recommend this place. You won’t be disappointed.

    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!
