• Brazilian Steakhouse • Madison
Booked 13 times today
For those of you who are not current or former gauchos who roam the prairies of Brazil, you might need an explanation of our style of service. At the end on a long day of work tending to cattle and stock, Brazilian cowboys (Gauchos) and their families would prepare great feasts. They would skewer various meats, roast them over a fire pit and bring them to the table for carving. There would be a bounty of seasonal vegetables, stews and salads using fresh ingredients from the fruits of their labor.

    Bonfyre is a very good lunch spot. The steak wedge salad is a favorite. It's also a nice spot to meet and enjoy a comfortable visit with a friend. Madison, our server, was great. She was prompt, efficient, personable, but never intrusive. Great service, great, food, great location!

    Had a great dinner at the Del Bar in Lake Delton, WI. We have been their numerous times and not once have we had a a bad meal or poor service. The service (Shane was the server) was excellent as always. And the food again was outstanding. My wife had huge sea scallops with squash with brussel sprouts as the side. Very very good except a little light on the squash as far as quantity. I had the lobster roll, hash browns and french onion soup. Also, very very good. However, I prefer a warm lobster roll instead of the cold roll. Just my preference. We also bought a $200 gift card and received an extra $40 for use in the future. Great marketing by the Del Bar. Definitely we will be back again and again and again.

    Overall a good experience. This wasn't our first time there but it was new for our guests. The only warning I have is to check your bill very closely before signing. They automatically included a tip with the sales tax but then asked me at the bottom again to add a tip. Very deceptive and I will certainly scrutinize the bill much more closely if we decide to go back again.
