I arrived later than my friends and ordered the waiter's suggestion, fillet trio with different toppings. They were tasty but small, significantly smaller than my companions' orders. The mac and cheese was bland, replaced by potatoes al gratin, delicious, good-sized but a smaller portion again. I wonder if the restaurant was running low on supplies. Nice presentation of food. Waiter... more

I always feel like that when I'm there. It's the decor and the music. Servers are very professional and nice. Good people watching, great martini's. Not too big on the steaks - but I like a lot of flavor. Some of the best salmon with maple glaze I've had at a restaurant and delicious desserts. more

Recently visited Wildfire and had a great dining experience. Between the two of us, we had the mushroom appetizer, swordfish, and the bbq ribs and chicken. The dishes each came with a side. I got the mac and cheese and my husband got the garlic mushrooms. Everything was delicious. For drinks, we each tried the martini sampler which was a... more

Recently dined here as a client. We were a group of over 12 in a private dining room. The service was attentive, informed, never rushed, and always with good humour. IMO, charred beef is the obvious food choice here. Steaks were done exactly as ordered. Server recommended avoiding the fries, so opted as my side for seasonal asparagus, which came... more

I went over the Christmas Holidays with family. The food isn't fantastic, but it doesn't dissapoint either. The prices are not bad for the area, but the real deal is the 'family' plate menu if you have a group of 6 or more. I believe it was about $30 for person and you had a choice of apps, entree, sides,... more
