My partner and I walked in after seeing that they are gluten accommodating. We were definitely under dress, and we were treated like royalty. The staff were so attentive. They even provided us a free dessert. Our evening was made all more magical. Definitely we will be back to Wildfire

Ummm… this isn’t the kind of post I’m used to sharing. Normally I’m the one picking the restaurant—or one of my foodie friends is—but this time it was for a birthday celebration. I’d never heard of this place, but since I was only planning to get a burger, I didn’t even bother checking the reviews. I mean… as a steakhouse, how hard could a burger be? The place was packed when I arrived, which I took as a good sign that we landed well. The calamari was good, so we were off to a fair start. And unfortunately, that’s where it ends. My medium-rare burger was much closer to rare than medium and had no seasoning. The service was slow and inconsistent. I will say the customer service was excellent when it came to accommodating our late guests, which I truly appreciated. But overall, everyone at the table agreed their meals were just fair—nothing to write home about. I will say this: the venue is super cute. Definitely great for a photo op… but I’d probably pass on the meal next time.

Very fancy dining. Semi-upscale. Great food. Steak was cooked prefect. Loaded potato- which i usually don't like-was loaded w flavor and trimmings. Service was excellent. Michael was our server and he was very attentive and polite.
