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.

    We used to come every wedding anniversary. Haven’t in a few years and I remember why now. Made reso at 8:15, when we sat down before the waiter even said anything about drinks or specials she said the “ welcome in, the kitchen closed in 15 mins”. Felt VERY rushed, like we were inconveniencing them by being there. Tell me how I was suppose to enjoy a $200 dinner in 30 mins. Overall just not checked on, not worth the time. Then the QR code check so we just checked ourselves out. Won’t be coming back (ever). It’s the end of an era.

    Food was good. Service just ok. Water glasses never refilled, table was not cleaned after dishes were taken away, empty drink glasses never taken away. Mistakes on the bill. We were charged $4.00 more than price on menu. We told server and he deducted $2.00. After talking to manager, he said the extra $2.00 was for the baked potato. Our server never told us the potato was extra. We didn't mind paying for it, but we should have been told.

    Food is pricey and forgettable, but adequate. Our server vanished after our entrees came. We were seated at a table directly next to the kitchen, which essentially functioned as a hallway, and the staff were constantly running back and forth behind us with trays etc, which isn’t really enjoyable and there probably just shouldn’t be a table there. Drinks were good though!

    Someone in our party got the filet with Parmesan crust. First came out over cooked with no flavor. They got him another one that came out blue. He asked for a medium rare. Steak had no flavor besides the parm crust. Half the table ordered baked potato’s but they had run out.

    Terrible service. We barely saw our server. We ordered the cookie skillet dessert and it was burnt. We have loved Wildfire for over 20 years, but will be hesitant to return.

    Great experience overall’ food was great, staff was wonderful, I’d say forgo the Parmesan crust on your steak but other than that a good classic steakhouse vibe, just not particually unique
