Delicious! Absolute perfection! Blazing fire drinks-try the spicy margaritas!. The ambiance is sexy and relaxing. The food was amazing- let's try something new next time!! I'm sure it'll be fire. The owner is a great guy and has set the tone when it comes to great customer service!

Well at first I'm not going to lie I was not impressed but came back after speaking to the owner Michael Yokans and had the manager Kathy and I must say I was beyond The service this I was beyond impeccable for me and my wife We had first bruschetta bread with their house butter which was great and I had a eggnog milky drink which was to die for and I still can't believe how amazing it is Then we had the asparagus cigars which my wife loved it was to die for and for me to say that because I don't like vegetables at all that means a lot then for our dinner I had the flaming ribeye which was not only amazing and impeccable and taste but it was just like butter it was savory so tasty that you wouldn't believe my wife had the ribeye which was so flavorful and savory with the vegetables and for her birthday we had a chocolate doge cake which was to die for I plan on having date night in my business meeting everything was so impeccable I would like to take the time to thank Michael and Kathy this was truly exceptional service and will becoming back

I'm a fan of Wilfire Public House. I don't go here very often, but it's always decent bar food. I especially enjoy their burgers and their salads. The braised short ribs and pork chop are also good choices. I recommend Wildfire Public House for comfort food dining.

The food’s taste was average. I didn’t think it was worth what it costs. This probably wouldn’t be the number one spot I would recommend. Granted, I would be open to try a different dish if I visit it again. Their service is great, so is the atmosphere! We were seated rather quickly, but did waited a little while for our food to come out, despite the restaurant not being too busy.

Amazing place to eat! Our waitress was kind and very on point. Even sweet talked us into getting the butter cake desert which was amazing. Drinks were very good not just a bunch of liquor in a glass but actually had flavor. Will definitely come back in the future.

First things first...parking sucks...This place had a nice atmosphere. I tried some mac and cheese (I think there was bacon in there), the chicken picatta, and garlicky green beans. It was very good. There cocktails were tasty as well. I will be going back to check out the outdoor seating next time. Also, google says you're looking at 20 to $30 per person, when actuality you're looking at around 50-$80 when you add an appetizer and a drink or two.

Food and drinks are great here, great for an evening of drinks or to dine with the family, I love the lighting not too dark but not too bright that you can see every pore on peoples faces. Chicken piccata is amazing, also drunken mussels are a must try, they also have good options for children. Our server Gaby was amazing, I definitely recommend this place !
