“Incredible food and service, plus outstanding wines. The filet mignon Wellington is world class, and with the Brassfield cabernet Sauvignon, it makes a memorable meal. Don't miss the flour less chocolate cake. Biff is a fantastic server, and he knows the menu well As I've said before, service is outstanding, with the attention to details of service as strong as the well-chosen servings. The wines reflect a similarly careful selection of vintages that match the menu, and the Lohr Syrah is a treat when the table has varied dishes. Portions are generous, with my take on Wildfire as a place to share items whenever possible. Within the various appetizers, entrees, and sides, Wildfire's variety is a treat. If you have not visited the space, it is also remarkable. The acoustics are great, even when the dining room is full. Don’t miss the stunning bar once you are inside the dining room. As to offerings, there is much to recommend. The chicken dishes are particularly good. Among the salads, the Caesar salad stands out. Baked potatoes, including the loaded one, make s fine side. Service, again, makes the difference, and the welcome starts when you enter the places and continues with servers, like Biff, Phillip, and Adam, whose sense of Wildfire’s style makes the meal all the more enjoyable. (Wildfire’s space also serves as the new Big Bowl takeout! Don’t miss the latter’s fine offerings!)”

“Very fancy dining. Semi-upscale. Great food. Steak was cooked prefect. Loaded potato- which i usually don't like-was loaded w flavor and trimmings. Service was excellent. Michael was our server and he was very attentive and polite.”

“Well I was visiting from out of town and decided to try this Staple I heard about...to my surprise when I arrived they informed me that they had no heat in a part of the dining area so they were only seating in one area which was fine...I ordered the herb crusted chicken with a loaded bake potato in which it was ok...Might give another try when I visit again...”
“Perfect evening for my engagement dinner. Thanks for making it so special!!”
“My friends and I usually Love wildfire but on today we weren't too happy!! We had an early reservation and when we got our food it was cold!!! The crabcakes were cold and the potato were cold so cold the butter or cheese wouldn't melt!!! Needless to say we weren't Happy!! I must Add food was great but the temperature on our food once again was cool! I like my food hot!”
