Had our annual Christmas Lunch. This was our 2nd year at Wildfire and have not been disappointed either time. Food was good, good temperature and our waitress made the rounds to make sure everything was ok and if we needed anything.

Always a pleasure and a treat to dine at Bluegrass. The hosts are so gracious, the food is always delicious, and the service is excellent. Our favorite dishes are the orange chicken and the smoked chicken which is a Tuesday night special. The latter is served with the most scrumptious corn pudding. Our friend had the tilapia which she really enjoyed. You can't go wrong with any menu choice there.

The food and service were excellent. Our group enjoyed being able to relax and talk without being rushed. We really enjoyed being able to chat without raising our voices to be heard. We are planning to meet again in January!
