We treated our family to Wildfire in Eden Prairie for our 50th wedding anniversary, 9 people in total. Great food and good service. Problem was our adult son wanted something from the "kids" menu. The server was insistent that you had to be 12 or under to order from that menu. She said management was a stickler on this point. Our son didn't understand the problem. He didn't want anything on the regular menu. After some uncomfortable discussion, she said said she would check with the manager.  They have a pretty good menu but it doesn't serve everyone. Imagine bringing your grandparents there, and they can't order something simple, or with smaller portions. (They don't have a senior menu.) Shouldn't they allow anyone to order from the kids menu? It doesn't hurt anyone. Or does it? Apparently it's a matter of the short term bottom line. Here's how they handled it. They gave my son the dish he wanted from the kids menu, but charged for a regular adult entree. Really Wildfire! I just spent $300 on lunch. Don't be penny wise and nickel foolish. You can call this a compromise, but it only benefited them. I gave them a fair rating because they do have good food and service, but needless to say, I won't be back. Partly because they charged me $7 over the menu price, but mostly because they have a policy that is biased against seniors and the disabled. read more

3 1/2 stars, a bit better than just A-OK. For starters, I like the decor. Dimly lit, but not too dark. A low level buzz for noise, but quiet enough to carry on a conversation. On the high side for prices. I think I'd rather venture downtown Minneapolis for a steak experience. Spinach & Artichoke Fondue was very good. This is my default appetizer order if it's on the menu. Ordered one of the evening specials. Filet Mignon was requested medium rare, served rare. But it still tasted good. Grilled shrimp had a nice spice to it. Au Gratin Potatoes were buttery and creamy, the baked sweet potato was big enough to share...and I did! Trio of Desserts was tasty. Key Lime pie was the perfect blend of sweet & pucker! Chocolate & Peanut Butter Pie was yummy. Why do restaurants put things like brownies & vanilla ice cream on their menu's? I'm assuming it's for the non-adventurous. This adventurous diner had a nice meal. It's didn't knock my socks off, but then again I wasn't wearing any :) read more

We visited here while traveling for work. My friend and I each got the filet mignon - it was delicious and cooked to perfection. The drink selection was reasonable and the ambience was dark and cozy. We got the shrimp cocktail as an appetizer and another appetizer that was on special. Waiter was very responsive and suggested the special. Overall it was a nice experience - I will definitely go back again when traveling to Eden Prarie. read more

We went to wildfire this past weekend and overall I didn't think it was worth the price tag. The food was good; steak trio and calamari for my wife and I, ribs for the kids. But with a bill at $180 I though the food should be great... not just good. The calamari app was somewhat small and the steak was just ok. I could have made it at home though. Our server was very attentive and nice. The Surly on tap was good too. In my opinion it was a middle of the road experience with a top dollar price tag. read more

Went here for a work meal and it was really good. Our service was amazing. The wine good, my steak perfectly cooked. I really can't complain about one thing. Would absolutely go back if I'm in town again. read more

I am never disappointed by this place . I can say hands down this is my favorite place to eat in all of Minnesota. The filet medallion trio on the specials menu is to die for . I absolutely love it and the service is always great ! Would highly recommend coming here read more

I have eaten here many times before so I thought I knew what to expect. How disappointing! I had given them 5 stars in previous reviews, but this time, it was just too many little things that added up to a bad experience. First they put us in a crowded room at a table that was right in the path of every waiter. My wife and I were constantly being bumped into as we ate. Next was the fact that the twice baked potato that is usually delicious was overdone and dry. We both ordered the filet mignon with parmesan crust which we have had in the past. This time the parmesan crust had very little taste and was not at all the way I remembered it from just 6 months ago. I ordered mine medium well, and what I got was part medium rare and part well done. Plus it wasn't the greatest cut of meat I've ever had there. As my wife is finishing her meal, the waitress comes by and asks if she can box it up for my wife! My wife tells her she is still eating! Finally, after my wife had had enough of being bumped into, she moved to another chair at the table. The waitress saw that she had moved and instead of asking if anything is wrong, just gets our bill. I know that this might seem trivial to some, but when you're paying $100 plus for dinner, you expect a little better. Like I said I've been here many times before and have never had such a bad experience. read more

I heard about Wildfire through Opentable's Restaurant Week and I'm really glad to have taken advantage of the opportunity. The ambience was masculine, but very cozy in an old Hollywood, leather chairs, steak knives in your bread kind of way. The service was attentive and well-timed. The set menu included: Salad: House or Caesar Main Course: 1/2 Chicken with Mashed Potatoes, NY Hanger steak with peppercorn sauce and mashed potatoes, or Dill Crusted Walleye with another vegetable that I've forgotten Dessert: Chocolate Cream Pie, Key Lime Pie or Cheesecake The bread that came first was really delicious, but it's starch so I can't really say anything bad about it. In addition to the set menu we ordered calamari which was delicious and tender, more calamari than breading which is always a plus in my book. What was actually ordered. Me: House Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette- Very hearty for a starter salad 1/2 Chicken and Mashed Poatoes- A little underwhelming, I guess that's what I get for getting chicken at a steak house Key Lime Pie- Tart, refreshing, and more mini pie than small slice Boyfriend ordered: House Salad with Red Wine Garlic Vinaigrette NY Hanger Steak with peppercorn sauce- This made me regret my chicken, it was totally awesome. Chocolate Cream Pie- Giant and delicious also All in all, very good meal. read more

When in Minneapolis I frequently end up in Eden Prairie, and Wildfire has been a most unexpected but pleasant find. Before I go much farther I have to say one thing: If they happen to have Halibut available TRY IT! Oh, wow. I could rate this place a full 5 stars on the halibut alone. But then I would overlook the mushroom crusted pork chops, or the chipotle chicken sausage pizza which I've also fallen hard for. While I've ate inside and enjoyed the experience, their food also stands out when ordered as carry-out and taken back to a hotel room. I've never had a bad experience here and my most recent visit was just another example of great food, attentive service, and my favorite, service with a smile. It's not cheap, but this place is worth a cab ride from MSP just to eat here. read more

We had a fabulous meal . Great atmosphere. The food was amazing, melted goat cheese appetizer... Out of this world. We ordered chicken, seafood and steak and everyone LOVED their meal. Portions were on the large size, but for us that just meant extra food for tomorrow. One of us has food allergies and the general manger personally stepped in to make sure her food was safe (and it was delicious too). Kids meals included salmon or steak as choices (with other more traditional options also available). The desert trio was perfect- shared between 6. The servers were warm, kind and prompt. I would HIGHLY recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

We came here today for a light lunch and were so pleased with the assortment of healthy options and great service. I had the kale and spinach Tuscan salad and a cup of French onion soup and left satisfied and hungry to come back again. read more

The food was good, but the service was bafflingly bad. We had a big group so they had to split the reservation into two tables, which was fine, but we were also assigned two separate servers who would not communicate with each other. When we got our order in everything was fine we finished our meal. We asked for boxes for our leftovers and they said they would box them for us. Which was fine except that the server piled dirty plates and the food we wanted to take home on top of each other. When I suggested he wait and either bring us the boxes or take the dirty plates back to the kitchen and do the food we wanted to keep in the next round, he continued to pile the last dirty plate on top of my leftovers. Then dessert came, they brought the birthday girl cake and then 15 minutes later (after her cake was gone) brought out dessert trays out for the rest of the table to order. We order a few desserts and waited. And waited. And waited. It seemed our servers had given up on serving us. Finally, it arrived and then splitting the bill was a bungle. Normally, I wouldn't be upset about this level of service. No one was rude. Everyone appeared to be trying (until they disappeared between dessert courses), but when you pay $40/plate I expect the service to match. TGI Fridays might not need to train their servers on basic protocol, but a "swanky" (their word not mine) steakhouse should do better. read more

They should call this a man bar, place was nice and old school music set the mood.. alot of men in there read more

Wildfire - classy music, vikkings room is vip level - American Near Me - Eden Prairie, Minnesota

Had my birthday luncheon at Wildfire today. Enjoyed the house chopped salad - it was excellent, as was the service. Dessert was complimentary - an appreciated touch. The supper club atmosphere is most appealing reminiscent of well known restaurants of the past. read more

We had excellent service from Lee! He literally made us feel like VIP! The steaks are amAzing and so are there drinks! Bone in ribeye all day! read more

See all

Fun old school kinda place. think the Rat Pack with cocktails in hand! went for a quick lunch on a break from a business meeting and had a steak salad that was incredible! It would be a fun place to go for a large group of people for a nice dinner. read more

Had the bone in ribeye. Very good food and service. Recommend reservation, even during the week read more

Normally they are excellent in everyway, but this time we were pickup up takeout. The bags they use are so cheap that it ripped when I went to pick it up out of the car. Food went everywhere. Not a pleasant experience. Use better bags or double bag. read more

Atmosphere. Great. Feels like an old-school steak-house, with a warm, mellow charm. A great place for happy hour with girlfriends - ask for one of the c-shaped banquet booths if you're in a party of 4 or under. Great atmosphere for anything from a romantic date to a business meeting. Wait Staff. Professional, friendly and warm. Our server was attentive, welcomed us with a plate of warm cornbread and was knowledgable and helpful with suggestions. Food. I had the chopped salad, which I've had in the past. It was still great. Others in my party had the coconut shrimp, crab bisque and melt sandwiches and all enjoyed their lunches entirely. Price. Fantastic value for money - all of our lunches were at or around $12. Location. Perfect place to lunch or dinner, whether shopping at Eden Prairie Center, seeing a movie, meeting business associates / clients or just having drinks with the girls. I would frequent Wildfire if I didn't live in Lakeville, but whenever I'm in the area, I'll be dropping in for lunch, dinner or drinks at Wildfire. read more

very good steak, mashed potatoes, asparagus, bread and wine, NY steak sandwich was amazing too, I definitely recommend and definitely will go back.. read more

My husband and I enjoy eating here. They offer delicious food, excellent service by Richard and Elizabeth, and a clean atmosphere.

Wildfire is definitely a step above the other restaurants located around here in Eden Prairie. I have patronized this location on a few occasions, for work, and have been impressed with the selection, and quality of the food. The food has always been prepared fresh, and flavorful. I greatly appreciated the attentive service, which helped made food selection easier. The ambiance was cool, a throwback to the 40, 50s Art Deco scene. Definitely a restaurant I would visit again. read more

We have been going to Wildfire for many years and the atmosphere and food are both excellent. Unfortunately the happy hour pizza has went down hill. We have tried 2 different ones in the last week and both were almost un edible. They used to have a pastry like crust and great cheese that was out of this world and now its like cardboard with goat cheese.We hope they bring the original ones back. At least we still have the best bartender in town with Brooke. read more

What the hell happened? My date and I arrived on a Friday night and sat at the bar while we waited for our table. We had a martini flight and it was great, especially the Stormy Night. We were called earlier than quoted which was nice. Our server was super sales-y with kind of dumb one liners but we didn't think too much of it. I had promised my date that Wildfire's walleye was always good and because we have such a hard time finding good walleye he was excited to try it. We asked our server what he recommended and he was going batshit over the ribeye. We decided to go with his recommendation with a horseradish crust and the walleye. He pushed the mashed potatoes ("I'm a mama's boy and you gotta have the mashed potatoes!") but my boyfriend hates them so we chose another side. For the other dish the waiter was like, DEAD SET that we needed those mashed potatoes but I chose Au Gratins which clearly ruined his whole night. He snapped his book shut, snatched the menus and was gone. Here's where it went to hell. Our food arrived and my walleye looked great. I took a bite and it tasted like nothing. Light, flaky nothing. I dipped the fish in the lemon buerre blanc and it was better but only if drenched in it. My boyfriend started in on the steak and I noticed he was really carving. He cut me a piece and I took a bite of pure fat. I asked if that was how his dinner was going and he said yes. It also had these weird white "cakes" on top of the steak and that was the horseradish crust. It just looked like little potato patties on the steak. Weird. Our server was pissy about our rejection of his mashed potatoes and stopped by once but mostly steered clear of us. Finally, we picked at our food, neither of us wanting to admit it blew and we'd wasted a rare night out. I'm sad. I used to love Wildfire. read more

I have been to this location many times. Always excellent service. The food is always enjoyable. Great specials, steak always cooked to perfection. Drinks have always been top notch, good selection of liquor and wine. Decent value compared to similar steakhouses in the twin cities. read more

Ordered online at 6:00 for curbside pickup at 7:15. Didn't get my food until 8:00. I would not recommend ordering ahead as they obviously lost my order read more

Went here once with my daughter loved the food the price made it a 1 time treat for the month. The food tastes delicious but wish I went at a slower time since the mash potatoes were quite cold and under mashed :( but overall great place for young couples to have fancy dates . read more

Had the halibut and it was outstanding. We did go later at night and some of the specials were out but the menu offered enough to pick from. We started with the lobster artichoke bake for an appetizer. Amazing! Then tried the soup of the day. So good. Very unique. Then had dinner. Halibut for me and the trio for my date. The trio was 3oz filet with 3 different toppings. Our waiter did a great job explaining the special, how to order and what goes well with them. I will definitely go back. read more

My family and I had an awesome Thanksgiving meal here! The service was great and the food was delicious. The thanksgiving dinner special was $48 per person, a little pricy, but absolutely worth it! If you don't have a big family, or you just don't feel like slaving over a thanksgiving meal for hours, I would recommend going to Wildfire! read more

Love the prime rib!!! Excellent place for a nice dinner or just to grab a drink after work.

Same ambience as Maggiano's. Excellent, high quality food with a Bogart kind of atmosphere. Good for wine drinkers. My favorite things here are the Creamed Spinach, the Calamari, and the Skirt Steak. The special planned event dinners are a treat where a chef will try out new dishes or expose you to different pairings of food with drink. Most of them are worth the price. read more

Expensive. Your dollar does not go far for the quantity of food. Not impressed by quality. Over-salted.

My favorite go to for steaks, seafood and prime ribs! Great food, great service and great ambiance!

The food is amazing. Our server, Leslie, was very charming and knowledgeable having helpful recommendations. The atmosphere of this steak house is charming with a retro 40's look with appropriate music to underscore the look. There's an excellent selection of wines, cocktails and ales. Wine is available by the bottle or glass. My first choice for a steak or burger. Delicious salads and appetizers. Wonderful and yummy desserts that you may end up taking home. read more

Spent a boatload. Mentioned our anniversary. No go. Baked potato. No go. Okay how about asparagus. Sorry. No. Only with the halibut. Oh "we would bring you cake for your anniversary but we are out ". Then... how about just a 1/2 glass of wine instead . Nope. We don't do that. Seriously. Stay away if you want a yes. We can do that from your server read more

Disappointed in this place. I won't ever go back. Our steak dinner wasn't good and nothing about the food or drinks were special

This is one of the most amazing places for people with gluten issues/celiac. The staff are crazy knowledgeable about it and take extra precautions - as well as provide SERIOUSLY good GF bread as an appetizer! It is definitely on the pricier side but nice for a date night. Usually gets very busy and loud on the weekends. read more

We dined at Wildfire on Sat April 21. Our entrees were very good, though I had to send my au gratin potatoes back because they were lukewarm. They came back lukewarm, so I decided to take them home with my other leftovers. I also took the remainder of my dining companions mashed red potatoes. I went to heat up the leftover red potatoes last night and found a large chunk of rotten potato, nearly the size of a golf ball. I was grossed out and appalled that a top tier restaurant would serve rotten potatoes. There is NO WAY the person mashing or plating the potatoes would have not noticed a giant rotten spot. read more

Disappointed. We have been here before and given its price point, we expect (and usually receive) great food and service. On a busy Saturday night, waited longer than usual to get a drink order in, then it continued--longer waits for drinks to be brought to the table and for entrees to be served. But to cap it off, we waited 15 minutes for 2 desserts! Now it's not like they need to cook those desserts individually, they are part of a larger cake or pie that you can just cut and deliver to a table. In any case, I know it's a busy time of year and staffing must be tough (although they had a seeming army of bussing staff around the back, not the actual waiters that take your order). Perhaps they could bring 2 desserts to a table so we didn't wait 15 minutes and spoil the experience? Hopefully better next time. read more

Pushy wait staff touting before dinner munches, we did order a few. The calamari was greasy but plentiful. The artichoke/spinach was ok but not exceptional. My medium rare crusted rib eye steak (allegedly a house specialty) was well done. When I presented a grey dry cross section to our seasoned waiter and asked if it was medium well, he said the kitchen was slow and it would take a while to correct. In other words, suck it up, enjoy your poorly prepared $35 steak. A late arrival at our party got a perfectly prepared steak on 5 minutes notice. Guess i didn't rate. My table noticed the my dinner slight and blew off the waiter when he asked if we wanted dessert/coffee. Shame, there were 11 in our party. We'll go to Lord Fletcher's from now on. These guys suck. read more
