We had talked about trying this establishment many times but with covid etc it took a while. My mom was particularly interested and kept suggesting going there so I finally made a point of making a call to inquire about a reservation. We showed up at the correct time but the place was essentially empty. However I’m sure staffing might have been the issue about us reserving. Although there seemed like plenty of bodies working there yesterday. We were offered a table and the waiter, a middle aged, shaggy, salt and pepper haired man, who came by after a couple of minutes. If he said his name I missed it. He was really off putting as he was not very friendly or warm. He asked if we wanted wine but we just wanted water so he took our empty wine glasses away and the bread plates that were already at the table which we found odd but whatever… He came back to take our order still not friendly at all. He came with our dinners after a time and put them down and walked away. Other staff had come and filled our water glasses over the time we were there so we had attention from staff. The waiter though did not check on us. We ordered NY Steaks and the twice baked potatoes. The steak was cooked to our specifications and the potatoes, which were very large were outstanding! The veg was perfect as well. As we ate closer into the centre of the potatoes we realized they were not hot inside, actually they were quite cold. So we flagged down a (female) server and she apologized and put them on a separate plate she had grabbed and took them away to be heated. After about ten minutes or more the potatoes were brought back by our original waiter. He went to put them down as they were still or again on the side plates. He said they were hot, as if to warn us not to burn ourselves. So instead of putting the plates down he kind of chucked the potatoes onto our original dinner plates from the plates in his hands. It was most awkward and bizarre. I saw the woman at the table next to us watching this all unfold and after the waiter walked away again we locked eyes and burst into laughter. It was comical really. When we were finished our meal the waiter came and asked if we wanted dessert but we declined. When he brought our bill he kind of threw it on the table in a receipt folder. I felt like he was mad, not specifically at us but in general. I feel confident that we had not been the source because our interaction had been so brief and limited as the other waitress had assisted in serving us. Anyway, the dinner was really delicious and other than the weird waiter, the dinner was a worthwhile experience. I would go back but if that waiter was there I would ask for someone else. I know staffing is an issue for a lot of places but I think this guy is unsuited for the task. UPDATE Went back a second time and had a different waiter. This time we had Shawn and he was AMAZING! Personable, funny, and prompt. What a difference! The food was equally delish this time but the atmosphere was a huge improvement on the enjoyment of our visit.
We were served by George and he was very attentive. Food was a but pricey but you can tell why. The food was amazing. We cleaned our plates.
Shawn was a hottie, loved him!

Came for the Summerfest 3 course Special. Our server Jaime was very friendly, attentive and helpful. Food was amazing and portions were large. Steaks were cooked to perfection. Highly recommend this Steakhouse to anyone.
The best steak I have had bar none, grilled to perfection you will definitely be satisfied. There were specials on that included appetizers, main and dessert for a very reasonable price. For a treat, special night out or just delicious food and a great experience this is your place. Try it out, you will not be disappointed. Chelsey our server was a pleasure to meet and interact with, both my partner and I were extremely happy and satisfied with our night out to Wildfire.
We had a great yummy dinner, fantastic alternative to The Keg with better prices and better tasting food. The wine and the service were also great.

Nice place, very attentive service & friendly staff (Ciara). I had a burger, medium. It came as a grey/brown color. It was tender but nothing to write home about. Their onion soup was delicious. The drinks were also good!

We finally gave it a try. I ended up getting the beef tenderloin fettuccine! Probably the best pasta I have had and the tenderloin was cooked to perfection. Also, the best long island iced teas. Phenomenal service. Food is a bit of a wait but it's as fresh as it gets and totally worth it. Didn't get a photo right away, picture was from takeout container. Portions were huge !
