    Spears is a good place to have dinner & a cocktail. We both ordered something different this time. I ordered the Filet sliders, very good . This item does not come with a side. I ordered the vampire fries. also very good. My hubby ordered Smash's mac which goes great with the vamp fries. Our server Armida took very good care of us. Suggest to make a reservation as this place tends to get crowded. See you again very soon!

    Wildfire is always consistently wonderful and the food is always good. Service was outstanding as well. Wines and cocktails were very good. The small salads can be split between 3 people. The only negative is that it can be loud. Highly recommend this restaurant. There are separate rooms for parties, large groups.
