This was our first time at this location and we went to the Nosotros tequila dinner tonight. I am still tipsy and we had such a great time. The food was paired very well with all the margaritas and I enjoyed meeting some new people. I go to wine dinners as well but the tequila one is my favorite so far.

My wife and I had dinner for wedding anniversary on Saturday, Oct 26, 2024. Our experience started out really slow. It was 25 min before we got our drinks and 35 min before we got our appetizer. Your food was exceptional! I feel the service adds to the experience and it didnt meet our expectations.

We went here on a weekend for my wife's birthday because she wanted the beef wellington. The beef wellington was extremely delicious, soft, and cooked perfectly. The sauce that was provided was really great too. They came out very quick since as you know, they take a long time to make so they're already pre-made for the weekend. It was a very busy and recommend getting a booth if possible. We sat up top in the first room in a middle row of tables so that resulted my chair being bumped i to by staff and patrons. It's really tight up there.

Cool restaurant...👍The service here was impeccable. I was there around 4:00 it was just beginning to get busy but plenty of seating. Salads are huge and the menu is robust but not necessarily unique.

Went on Sunday for a family party in their savoy room. The 10 oz. filet mignon butterfly cut with Parmesan crust was cooked just right and very tasty, the mashed potatoes were delicious. The appetizers, bison meatballs were very tasty, the flatbread was ok kinda bland. The dessert: chocolate cake with whipped cream was very good, the cheesecake was just ok. My old fashion drink was awesome! Overall very pleased with the food, service and atmosphere. The 20% automatic gratuity added to the bill is understandable but a bit high, I left over that but one shouldn’t be forced to pay 20% just because, but I guess it’s the norm these days…..

Wildfire is one of my all time favorite steakhouses. When seated in the main dining room you have a great view of the open kitchen. The fresh-baked onion rolls are amazing and I am a big fan of their martini offerings. Today I selected a French Martini and it was perfectly balanced! The crab corn chowder is delicious and full of flavor although this is one dish I do need to add just a pinch of salt to. The filet with blue cheese crust is always my go do and it is heavenly!! My husband had the filet and ordered it medium well but it came out like leather. Our server was very gracious and immediately had it remade and it came out perfectly. I love when they offer bread pudding because it is one of the few places that make it without raisins but sadly was not in the menu at our visit!

Just went here tonight for dinner. Really nice staff and great service. Food was excellent and the wait time was fairly short. I recommend making a reservation ahead of time to avoid waiting to be seated. Highly recommend and would come back here again.
