Birthday Dinner

Jan 2024 • family

My apologies to our server for this late review, but I just found her card now in my Winter coat. My son and daughter-in-law took me to Wildfire Steakhouse for my birthday back in January, and Colleen was our server. She was fantastic! She recommended some wonderful things from the menu which we chose, and my dinner was absolutely 100% delicious. Cooked to perfection, served nice and hot and we enjoyed everything. Even my birthday surprise cheesecake, complete with sparkler. It was a wonderful experience for my kids and myself and we will definitely come back. I recommend going for sure. It was our first time there and I was surprised at how elegant the restaurant was. I felt somewhat "under-dressed" for the occasion. A lovely experience, warm atmosphere, and busy! Thank you Colleen for making my special day even more special. Cheers!

Gift card

Jun 2022 • none

The service was super and the Meal that we’ had was done to our liking and overall we were very satisfied with the service and meal. We have purchased many gift cards for friends and relatives and this was the first time we had a gift card to use. We had a 150. Card and the bill was 140.0 , we gave the waiter our card and an additional 10.00 which would be a 20. Tip. He returned to our table and informed us that the tip could not come out of the card. He was embarrassed to advise us of the policy. We of course added additional cash for his too. We felt that this policy is so wrong as we were not aware of this and our friends that we gave gift cards would have faced this.

Comfortable but not cozy atmosphere. Soft lighting and quiet.

Dec 2022 • none

Overall a good experience, however, had the filet, asked for medium it came medium rare to rare. Did not send it back. Always hesitant about doing that. Seasoning on filet was very good. Twice baked potato was excellent as well as the French Onion Soup. They did not provide bread, had to ask for it. Bread was excellent once we got it, hot, fresh and tasty. Found not offering or just bringing bread a little chincy, maybe they are trying to save money. My wife asked for a drink and it never came. Had to ask for plates for bread as there were none on the table. Server was otherwise friendly and did her best. She may have been new. They asked if this was a special occasion and it was our anniversary dinner. Assumed something would happen but nothing after that. Will, however, go back.

Wildfire…. Horrible

Jan 2024 • family

This is by far the worse steak I have ever had! I went with my family to Wildfire as I had read a review that the steak was great! Well I must be picky, but when I go for dinner and spend $45-$65 on a steak I expect amazing flavour! Well not only was the steak and the steak seasoning the worst I had ever ate. The service was horrible the potatoes were cold and slapped on the plate and the veggies were hard! Never will I go here again, don’t waste your money!

Will NEVER return / waste of hard earned money

Apr 2023 • none

I am not one to write reviews but felt it was important this time . Between 4 of us our meal was 225.00 dollars. Appetizers tasted as if they just came out of freezer and thrown into microwave. had to wait 40 minutes for our meal and when it arrived it was cold My husband know his steaks and could guarantee it was not a triple a cut like he ordered and left majority of it on plate which was fat and grizzle . My sons burger comparable to a frozen burger from a grocery store . my daughter and I ordered pasta dish with prime beef. beef was chewy and bottom line quality. Complete waste of money so frustrating

Wildfire steak oshawa 2 star 🌟

Feb 2022 • family

We usually go to the Keg but decided on this steakhouse wildfire. Ambiance 4 star Host and server 5 star super friendly Food 2 star Spinach dip more cream cheese I don't think I saw even a bit of spinach. Bread deep fried very greasy Drink rum pineapple very small portion and too sweet more pineapple juice so added water 💧 suggested by the server which got watered down My Salman was small and baked potatoe was bigger than salmon too salty and very fried and not medium well. My kids steak with mash potatoes was just okay but my husband steak with fries over greasy and burnt. Will I go again absolutely no because for $300 it was just a regular restaurant It was a celebration and very disappointing

Meat NOT cooked as asked

Feb 2022 • couples

Went for dinner on a Saturday night. Made reservations easily for 5:45pm. The good: Atmosphere was nice, inviting and clean. French onion soup was delicious Bacon cesar salad was a good serving and yur house dressing was very tasty. The bad: Ordered a 10oz filet mignon medium rare...definately was delivered VERY RARE. Somewhat cold in the centre and had a blood filled plate. The filet mignon was not even tender, was rather chewy. Total for 2 people with 2 drinks was over $200, not worth it in my opinion. Wouldn't recommend and wouldn't go back. Spend your money elsewhere honestly.

A Little Bit Too Pretentious

Sep 2022 • none

If you are looking to impress your friends and family then you can find other restaurants providing quality food and portions. The main ordered came to the table with cold vegetables and protein. The veg portion was an abomination when paying $32 for the "Lamb Rack" dish. The best portion of the meal was the garlic mash. The wait staff are great. It is an "OK" place to go for a meal but other local establishments in the area are known for their outstanding portions and home cooked meals. I will not go here again!

Good food at great food prices.

Feb 2022 • family

After reading the reviews from all over the spectrum, we wanted to check it out for ourselves. Centrally located with plenty of parking, it is easy to get to. The service is a little lagging, but very courteous. At arrival, we were asked for proof of vaccination, which is a big plus. We found the food to be good but not worth the $11-13 for the soup, or the $18 for the spinach dip. The main dish was quite good, but again not worth the listed price. I had the $32 Tenderloin Fettuccine and it would have been great at $18. My wife had the 7-oz filet mignon at $37. That was a reasonable price but the side of veggies could have been more spectacular (string beans and bell pepper pieces). Overall, a decent meal, but way overpriced. Big chains like Montana and The Keg would offer similar offerings for less. But in these Covid times, restaurants have to stay alive at half-capacity, so we will continue to encourage them.

Simple Requests Not Met

Feb 2023 • none

When a customer says to double up on included vegetables and waive the included side, it does not mean to charge for an extra premium side. We got charged twice for side we did not receive. Steaks were stone COLD. I ordered the 10 oz and received the 7 oz. What a disaster of an evening and our server Todd was indignant and had attitude. How hard is it to bring ice with table water. I asked twice and it never came. Never going back.

Disappointing and over priced

Oct 2021 • friends

Had the seafood linguine. The sauce is too thick and heavy. The seafood was shrimp, scallops and salmon. The shrimp were tiny cocktail ones that were rubbery. The scallops were barely bigger than a pea and rubbery too. There tiny salmon pieces that were over cooked. For $31 is was a big disappointment and nothing came with it as a side. Asked for bread which you had to order. I didn’t get charged this meal or the bread as the dish was inedible. They need to overhaul that dish completely. As for the steak it was nicely cooked. However the seasonal vegetables were peppers and carrots. This time of year should have had a better choice. Next, their wine list is extensive but way out of reach for the normal diner. Not many bottles reasonable priced around $40. Most were $60 and up. Ridiculous! This is supposed to be a fine dining place. Not impressed with it at all. Put bread and butter out at least the customer feels like their getting something. The prices are average $30+. Staff are great but doesn’t make up for food. Wildfire can do better. The Keg is just down the street and they do serve bread and you know what your getting there.

Forget COVID....No excuses

Mar 2021 • none

First of all when you are on a Timer of 1 1/2 hrs you should not have to wait 10 mins for your drinks order especially when there was only 1 other table dining. Out of the 3 Steaks ordered 2 of them were over cooked. I ordered mine med-rare and they cooked it med-well not to mention it was extremely over spiced. My friend ordered the Escargot as a starter which were so tiny and swimming in butter. At the end of the meal 2 B-52 decaf Coffee’s were ordered which they supposedly had to brew a pot for were served just warm! Pls tell me how a fresh brewed coffee is lukewarm? It’s beyond me. Needless to say will not be returning or recommend to my friends....should have gone to Harpos down the road.

Pleasantly Surprised

Dec 2022 • none

We had a table for 8 on New Years Eve, when the place was quite busy and yes it took a little longer than usual for the meal to come out but considering the day of the year its not unreasonable to expect. but our server kept us informed and was excellent through the whole meal. Everyone at the table was very happy with their meal and told me they would recommend this place to friends. I had the pasta with steak and chipotle sauce. It was done perfectly with just the right amount of kick. The beet salad and french onion soup were a hit for appetizers and comes highly recommended. I am surprised considering the recent reviews but for us anyway, on this special evening, it was 5 star all around.

Don’t go to Wildfire.

Mar 2022 • couples

A terrible dining experience. Very pricey so you would expect atmosphere, quality food and service. None of these happened. I unfortunately read other reviews and scheduled a date night and would have been better off going to Wendy’s or Burger King. This is a Ponderosa in the 21st century with ridiculous prices for tough meat. Don’t go and get ripped off.

The worst. Period.

Aug 2022 • couples

Wife and I ordered steaks and twice baked potatoes. Potato was obviously microwaved but was basically potato skin and cheese. Steaks were 1/4 inch thick, undercooked which was surprising for the size and chewy. Denny’s serves a better steak dinner. I’d rather eat at Boston Pizza. We heard good things about this place but a few years ago. Times have definitely changed. No way this restaurant will last unless $ is being laundered through this joint. 3-4 tables out of 25 were occupied. Was dead and I understand why. Will never be going back. Oh and was $225.00 for a 2 person meal. No value here whatsoever. Background music was decent. 0/5 stars. Beware!
