    The food ad service was excellent! I had forgotten about Wildfire as a restaurant of choice when considering a night out. We both had the Parmesan encrusted cod. Suburb! Green beans a red skin mash potatoes. It’s getting close to Thanksgiving so looking forward to a meal not turkey or chicken. Our meals were so good we couldn’t believe it at first. It’s was as if it were my mom’s home cooking. Supurb and a great comfort food at the same time. We will definitely be back soon. Can’t wait!

    I reserved for 8 online and under the notes section I requested separate checks if possible. I was delighted to see that the request was remembered and honored. Of the 8 of us, we had 6 different lunch choices and all were outstanding! Our server was personable and the hostess was accomodating. We had a wonderful lunch meeting!
