Charming

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.
