It feels like a bit of a time warp, stepping into Wildfire. The dark woods, the cozy booths, the crooners over the sound system..,it feels like a 1930s supper club .., which isn't a bad thing. Expect traditional fare and you will be right at home. The skillet cornbread came out hot from the oven, the pan was smoking hot, and the butter just oozed over it. It was crisp outside, soft inside with kernels, and this might have been enough. My companion ordered crab and shrimp bisque which was thick, rich and decadent. They also had an enormous shoe-sized baked potato. I had the macadamia nut encrusted halibut which was buttery, crispy and with a rich sauce and flaky white halibut. The au gratin potatoes were soft, tender and indulgent. The creamed spinach was ok -- I think it had too much nutmeg for my taste. My other companion had the medallion trio which had different savory crusts like horseradish and blue cheese. They said the filet was very tender but in my opinion was slightly overdone. Service was ok. They checked on us often during the first half of our meal, but once they dropped off the entrees they didn't check back. I would have liked to call their attention to my companion's burger, which looked rare/medium rare instead of medium/well, but they were ok with it so I didn't press it. Normally at an establishment such as this I would like to peruse the dessert selections but by the time they came back I was ready to go. Our meal was quite good but there were areas for improvement. The daily specials sounded interesting so it might be nice to come back during the week to try one of those -- like Monday's Southern Fried Chicken.

We had a private party there this past Saturday, actually it's the second private party we've held there in the past year. Perfect place for an event as they have multiple private rooms for different sized groups. You feel as if you are not in a large establishment at all as the rooms are very contained and the wait staff is so attentive that you never have to venture out to look for anyone. We had meatballs and shrimp cocktail to start, choice of filet, cedar planked salmon, or lemon pepper chicken as a main and then two salads , mashed potatoes, and roasted vegetables as sides. Chocolate cake and a crumble with ice cream for dessert. The staff is amazing, kept the drinks coming as they were ordered, brought the food at a good pace, and gave us time and space to mingle and do speeches. Awesome spot!

mule mocktail, just a sweet drink, 3/5 beef wellington -- perfectly cooked filet mignon, 5/5 soy-glazed salmon over cedar-plank -- simply saccharine, doesnt come with sides, 4/5 coconut cream pie drizzled with caramel sauce, 4/5 chocolate cake, 4/5 extra cake slice came out because overzealous server convinced themselves that it was an anniversary? it was date 2. lol.

While we didn't come here for dessert, I will say that the table behind us only asked us about the dessert we ordered: the triple layer chocolate cake with whipped cream drowning in chocolate sauce. There was ice cream added, but it wasn't needed. It was rich and delicious. The rest of the meal was good too. I'll preface by saying that people need to start paying attention to what type of restaurant they're at and order accordingly. So many people don't and are disappointed with their food selections. At Wildfire, here's a piece of advice: don't order the special. They have a daily special listed in the menu. It never changes for that day of the week. They also give you a list of "specials". The trio of filet medallions is always on the menu along with a couple fish options. Skip these and order off the menu. We started with the goat cheese and marinara appetizer. You can never go wrong with this. It was really good l, but restaurants never give enough bread or crostinis with it. We then got our meals. There were four of us. My wife got the lump crab cake sandwich she thought was just okay (it's always hit or miss with this item). Sometimes good and others not so good. The other couple shared coconut shrimp and a beef medallions dish. There was not a lot of food for two people. I got their prime rib dip sandwich with no changes. It came with au jus and a horseradish cream sauce. I opted for their red skin mashed potatoes (they do them right). The sandwich was perfect! Everyone else's meal was okay. And one of our party got a rum punch mocktail that tasted like a cough drop. No punch, but almost lost her lunch (if ya know what I mean). Still a good, consistent place to get a meal.

My husband and I celebrated Valentine's Day at Wildfire and had an enjoyable time. The decor inside has an art deco, 1920's, Great Gatsby vibe. It was extremely busy, but the restaurant was clean, and all of the staff were polite and helpful. We had a reservation and were seated within minutes of our reserved time. My husband ordered the Greek salad, Porterhouse steak, and red skin mashed potatoes. I had the crab cake appetizer, lemon pepper chicken, and au gratin potatoes. The mashed potatoes were bland, but everything else was good. We weren't blown away by any of it, but it was good. It is very pricy for the quality, so I don't think that I would go back again, but it was good to try once.

First time at Wildfire, and I had a great time. I made reservations as this place can get packed, and especially during restaurant week, it was extra packed. The one thing is when it is super busy like it was, there was no parking. I circled for about 15 minutes before I could find somewhere to park. Luckily, my friend was inside and already got seated with our reservation time. Once I finally parked, I headed inside and was shown to our table. They delivered some bread and water and gave us the menus. Our server was friendly enough and attentive. Even though he forgot to ask us which sides we wanted with our entree, when we flagged him down, he took care of the situation swiftly. For a starter I got the Caesar salad, entree 14oz NY Strip with the parmesan crust, au gratin potatoes, and for dessert cherry pie. Our order came out at the perfect timing and everything was correct. I loved the taste of the parmesan crust on the steak, it added such a delicious flavor. When a restaurant serves au gratin potatoes I'm sold because you really see them anymore. The flavor of the potatoes paired perfectly with my steak. The cherry pie was more on the tart side which I didn't mind because I'm not a fan of it overly sweet. It was a good outing all in all.
