About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
  • Good for business meals
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.

    What happened to Wild Fire? I have never experienced such poor service especially in an empty restaurant. I had to get up twice to find our waiter. When he did show up, I asked him if he had a good nap. Besides the slow service, the meal was adequate. What was the most appalling action was when the staff started to turn chairs onto tables before while we were still seated and it was not even 10pm. This is a grossly mismanaged restaurant that I will never return.

    Waitstaff was extremely disappointing. They didn’t come around and get drink orders beyond our first drink and seemed to just be annoyed that we were there.

    We had the best dinner at Wildfire! We had a variety of items-the Monday special fried chicken, lamb porterhouse, the haddock Easter special. Everything was top notch! We shared the chopped salad as an app. OMG…so delicious! Drinks were also very good. My husband had the old fashioned and he said it was one of the best he’s had. We will be back when we’re in town again. Highly recommend!

    The ambience is very nice, the food could be better. The onion soup had too much cheese, almost no onion flavour. The Branzino fish was delicious, but very small. The meat was OK.

    Ordered the medallions steaks medium well, all three pieces were cooked at different levels. Restaurant and staff was very accommodating by offering another entrée of the same dish. Remade entrée came out, and the same issue occurs with the different temperature levels of the medallions.  besides, that the staff is excellent and the place has a beautiful ambience.
