Wildfire

Wildfire Restaurant Review:

About the restaurant: Extravagantly sized portions fill the inner soul, and the kitchen at this upscale steakhouse-with-trimmings determines that all patrons eat well.

Food & Drinks: Everything except the refrigerator turns up in the chopped salad, the house specialty, touched delicately with a citrusy dressing; thank heavens you can carry home the leftovers for a second meal. Also noteworthy are the slabs of prime rib and the spit-roasted half chicken with its gleaming mahogany skin and side of veggies. Tuck into the double-stuffed baked potato the size of a football; enjoy the cheese-topped French onion soup; give a thumbs-up to the wild mushroom pizza; and splurge on the ice cream sundae with its chocolate chip cookie base. Before ordering, ask staff about daily specials and also check out the menu for upcoming holidays. Think about ordering one of the house cocktails and check the wine list for meal pairings. When you want to indulge and are not counting calories, Wildfire offers plenty to pique your interest. It's often crowded, so get there early or call ahead to reserve a table. The lines can be long.
