Wildfire Steakhouse & Wine Bar - Waterloo, Ontario

Went here for dinner with my girlfriend on Valentine’s Day. They offered a good prix fixed menu with a variety of different dishes, including vegetarian and gluten free choices. I ordered the beef carpaccio for my appetizer and it was ok. I’ve never had it before, but the beef was a ... little lacking in flavour even with the pepper on it. I imagine it would have been much better if paired with a wine. For our mains I had the filet mignon and she had the New York strip. Both came with seasonal vegetables and garlic mash potatoes. The potatoes were almost TOO garlicky. My filet was delicious. Her New York strip was a rather bad cut of meat having lots of tendons/veins, and more fat than I have ever seen in a New York strip. Both were cooked properly however. The desserts are still in my fridge waiting to be eaten. The reason we got our desserts to go though, is because of how long this whole night took. We made reservations for 8:30. Sat down a little after that time. Waited until 9 to get our h’orderves, another 40 minutes after that to get our appetizers, and then another 30 minutes to get our mains. We finished eating at 10:30 and had to leave because of or work schedules. I expect the place to be busy, and I expect slower than normal service, but 2 hours?!?!? You’ve got to be kidding me. And then on top of that, because it was V-day, they add the gratuity on the bill themselves. So after tax and their 18% tip they gave themselves, dinner for two with only water to drink came to $196. That is ridiculous for the slow service. Very friendly but way too slow. TLDR; decent food, friendly service, BEYOND slow. Go here not a special day or a holiday. Read more

Really great atmosphere and excellent service. Really enjoyed the food it was certainly top notch, not nearly as busy as The Keg so no wait time and the food was as good or better. Prices were basically in line with The Keg maybe slightly more but I'd pay it ... to not have to wait, Keg was an hour and we walked right in at dinner time. Would recommend, had the blue cheese filet and it was fantastic. Read more

Went here for their NYE price fixed menu. At $100 per person, it was definitely not worth it for me. My steak actually came out cold and they had to put it back on the grill to warm it up. This obviously took it from the medium that I ordered ... to a medium-well. The host was amazing though and probably the only saving grace for that night. I would not return any time soon. Read more

Well it took 1 hour and 10 mins to get the food we ordered. The steak was cooked to much so had to return it and the lamb my budy ordered was cold. Also one of the other dishes was grissly chicken and under cooked. So out ... of 5 dishes we had 2 good ones not really great at all. Over all for the price and quality we all would never come back. The building is nice but if the food is not ruins it all. Read more

The steak was OK, this is because my friend had a well grilled steak and I didn't. The steak I had is from an unexperienced chef.... the steak grilled without enough oil on it and the temperature was not high enough.. So the steak does not have crust... And it ... was cooked for too long The good thing is they have lots of choices on steak. And I don't know why, their dessert is outstanding. Service is great, but my steak took about 40mins... Overall, a good place Read more
