Took a group of 6 for a office holiday lunch and I would rate the food, service and over all experience as "meh". We were seated in the "viking" room. I think we would have rather had a table in the main room... This room needs work...table is too big for the room, there needs to be a table cloth, and a lazy-Suzanne on the table. No one could reach the S&P put at the center of the table without standing up and reaching. The server put all the appetizers in the middle and it was comical to see people try to get at them to share. Our server was knowledgeable but had zero personality. We ordered appetizers to share and they were OK but really not great. Two plates of the chicken skewers; each plate had three very small skewers with a terribly dull ancho mayo on the side. Two plates of the sea scallops wrapped in bacon w/ an apricot sauce on the side; each plate had two skewers of 4 small scallops on each skewer. The apricot sauce was tasteless, it's like they just opened a packet of that sauce you find at the bottom of the Chinese take-out bag..., and the bacon was flabby. The presentation was unimpressive especially considering the $15.00 price tag per plate. On the plus side for the appetizers, the shrimp cocktail was good - 6 very large shrimp presented nicely in a bed of ice with a good cocktail sauce on the side. And the calamari was very good too. Nice presentation and good quality, though they should bump the size of the cocktail sauce on the side by at least 3 times. And they should 86 the ranch dressing served on the side with the calamari, it was unnecessary - save that for someones salad. I had the lunch special of the Parm crusted lemon cod and that was OK, but unremarkable..it's not like "OMG I HAVE TO GET THAT AGAIN". 3 folks ordered the tenderloin tips, each person wanted them done a different way (one rare, one med, one well done) and when the servers brought them it was a sad joke to see everyone passing the plates around until the correct meal was in front of the correct person. Same with their sides - the server was handing them to people without a clue who should receive what, our waitress wasn't around to direct the servers on who ordered what, and obviously she didn't give them a clue as to who ordered what. So the passing of the sides continued until everyone got their selections. Very odd, and quite unimpressive to watch. One person ordered the burger special of the day (stuffed blue cheese). He said the burger was good but there was way too much "stuff" on it (shred lettuce, tomato, onion) and it was a hot mess for him to eat. The fries he received were limp. And one person ordered the lunch serving of the prime rib, w/ mashed potatoes, and said it was excellent. Desserts were good, but again, not OUTSTANDING. We ordered 5 different desserts, some 1/2 size, some full size, for sharing. No liquor (sadly this isn't the 70's any more so no more drinking at lunch since we had to go back to work), and no one ordered any beverages. Final bill was $305 before tip. Last year I took everyone to Redstone in EP for our holiday lunch, and I think all in all that Redstone was a better experience; better holiday atmosphere, better menu selection, better food, better service. I'd go to Wildfire again, but not for a special meal, and not if I'm the one selecting the restaurant. Not a terrible experience, but with so many other places that are available why go back? read more

Good food, but overpriced. I do love the bread that comes with every meal, and a great place for a martini. Has the feel of an old-school steakhouse. Recommend coming here for happy hour. If here for dinner, the chopped salad is great. read more

Black Friday late lunch. Wildfire did not disappoint. Scotty K the waiter was over the top good. Casual, on top of his game, focused on making our dining experience top drawer. Beer flights were a nice start. Mushroom Swiss stuffed burger was tasty and hit the spot. Chopped salad did not disappoint. Have been in Wildfire numerous times and am never disappointed. read more

Had dinner here on Sunday evening. Were seated at a booth in the bar (very dark could barely read the menu). As always the food was excellent. The New York Strip was perfect. But the service left a lot to be desired. My husband ordered a side of scalloped potatoes with his steak. He was served his steak but they never brought the scalloped potatoes. We had to "flag down" our server only to find out from her that they were all out of the scalloped potatoes. When asked why they didn't let us know sooner she said "they" should have let us know ! I wonder who "they" is ? I thought it was the servers responsibility to communicate those issues with the customer. We have always had excellent service in the main dining room but the last few times when we were seated in the bar area the service has been seriously lacking. read more

The ambiance is very rich and dark. Perfect for a date night but not so much with family. It's always really loud. Everything we have had here is so good and always cooked perfectly. The ribeye is melt in your mouth delicious. Don't leave without trying the chocolate cake. read more

i took my mother out 2 dinner one evening, everything was goin' great. The food was superb the waiters were tendful. When i got my meal, mom 2, we were eating and a passing waitress drops a champagne glass . When she goes 2 pick it up her ass points directly at our table and...... farts right when we were eating our meals. GOOD F***ing ridence right in the F***ing meal. i almost threw up and the waitress didn't even realize that she just 'popped a but cherry' right in our meal. Never going to this place ever again!!!!!!! read more

Had a wonderful Anniversary/Birthday dinner there last week. It's always terrific, the steaks are GREAT, and the service is always perfect!! read more

Excellent place to eat! I have been there several times and I have found the staff very helpful and the food excellent. I especially like it when they have the fire house chilly. It's really good! It sells out in a hurry because they make it out of prime rib. Yum. :-). My mom also loves the place. read more

I love the atmosphere, but the main room is way too noisy. Go to one of the side rooms where the ambiance is nicer. The food is OK, but way too expensive Pork Chops were OK, the halibut was OK. The desserts were excellent, esp that chocolate tort. I like going there, I just think the food is overrated and overpriced. I am still looking for that one great item. Will have to try a steak next time. The one thing is some of the portions are way too generous. The pork chops come with two chops (way too much food) and are kind of bland. I would prefer one chop that was excellent for half the price. read more

We go here 3/4 times a year. I think the bar area is really solid. The seating area however in the main restaurant is literally so crowded you can't walk. They seem to have put more and more tables in the main area everytime I go... Food is solid. Prices are slightly above average. For Eden Prairie the best steakhouse I know. read more

Wildfire is a busy restaurant with nice menu, decent food and fair service. This place has gotten over used and needs some major renovation. When the tables are worn to the point of 'yicky sticky' it's time to resurface the table tops, chairs and floors. Still draws a large crowd, but I don't like eating in a dirty appearing restaurant. Clean it up and I'll return read more

First time eating at Wildfire. Everything was outstanding. From the warm onion bread, the wine flight, appetizers and the entrees. The service was best in class. A great experience read more

One of our favorite places due to the consistently outstanding service and exceptional food. Pricy, but great atmosphere.

This is my favorite la de da dining experience. And given that it's attached to the mall, I can go do my Target run if I need to so I guess it isn't all that la de da after all. I've not always ordered something I've cared for but sometimes you just don't guess correctly for your taste buds. The wait staff is outstanding and my hubby raves about the Long Island iced teas and calamari. My labrador also raves about the calamari, should there be any leftovers for him. Desserts are fantastic. read more

Overall this place was fine, little too run of the mill for me. I had a Manhattan cocktail which was fine. For an appetizer we had calamari which was Ok as well. For my entree I ordered the filet sampler, which while pretty good did not blow me away. The interior was pretty nice though and there is a lot of space. Overall I'd go back, but it wouldn't be at the top of my list and it's not cheap either. read more

They wrecked it. I come here all time for dinner. Always impeccable service, the managers are courteous and friendly - they always check in and make sure you're happy, the servers are always knowledgeable and also very friendly. I highly recommend! Great food...especially the prime rib, the roasted chicken, and the salmon. Recently the bar has changed and one bartender, Brooke, is on a lot more. Multiple bad times with her on bar, so much so that I've managed to avoid her service for a long time. I don't recommend her as a bartender, in fact I recommend you eat in the dining room or leave. She's inattentive, has a poor attitude, and gets distracted chatting and ignores you. Can't seem to handle more than one customer at the bar at any given time. Good luck getting a drink if it's busy. I guess if she's working more I'll be coming less. read more

Had yet another wonderful dining experience at Wildfire tonight and wanted to commend several of the staff for their fantastic service. My favorite server is Liam, but he was off tonight, so I had the pleasure of Janea as my server. She was both thoughtful and attentive to making my dining experience memorable! Ordered the Macadamia Nut Crusted Halibut, and was once again completely satisfied with one of the best dishes made at a Lettuce Entertain You restaurant. If you have not tried this dish (when it is in season) you are missing an opportunity to enjoy an outstanding preparation of halibut with a cream sauce and asparagus that will make you come back again and again! Great wines by the glass, and if you need a recommendation on bottled wine, you can always ask for Lee, he will give you the lowdown on the whole wine menu. You will find the management always attentive from my experience, tonight it was Carl, who took the time to make sure my order of a whole Blueberry-Peach pie was waiting for me when I departed. Overall, love Wildfire for really good fish and steak, as well as specialty dishes, and they have a great happy hour too! read more

Been going here at least once a year for their excellent side dishes, great shrimp cocktail, and the best filet mignon. Appetizers, drinks, deserts, always great. Service sometimes iffy but food can rival Ruth Chris no doubt. read more

So amazing! The steak was perfect and tender, the seafood platter was divine. Bacon-wrapped Scallops were cooked perfectly without an overwhelming bacon taste I've had at other places. Huge servings! We had the trio for dessert and even though we were stuffed, we ate it all because it was so delicious! We will be bac read more

A very unfortunate turn of events. My wife and I were in Minneapolis over the weekend and were looking for a place to dine. Our first clue should have been when we phoned at 5 PM. on a Friday to make some last minute reservations for that night we were told, "Oh, don't worry, we are pretty slow right now.". Uh-Oh! Now our previous experience with Wildfire has been with the Chicago location in which you cannot buy a table on a Friday night. We get seated at 6 pm, have our drink orders in by 6:05, and our dinner orders in by 6:15. Great, fast service, quick with the drinks, exactly what I wanted. Now we do not see our server again until 7:15. Our food comes out at a reasonable pace, but it is a runner not our server bringing it. I ordered the grilled stuffed salmon which is so overdone that I need a knife to cut the thin side of the fillet. (to say that it was crunchy would be to give the chef some credit) The stuffing was amazing though. My wife ordered a medium rare filet mignon, which, again coming from the location in Chicago, she was very much looking forward to. Unfortunately in the few hundred miles between Chicago and Minneapolis the definition of medium rare has definitely devolved. Medium rare should be warm, and pink on the inside, with just a hint of blood. My wife's unfortunate filet was grey, dry and stringy, without a hint of flavor. So far Wildfires reputation as a steak and seafood restaurant has been greatly exaggerated. And no, our server never returned to check on the status of our entrees until well past our limits of patience. We skipped the desert. Food for thought: if you are looking for a steak you need to go one of two ways. If you are on the cheap, just go to Outback, the ambiance sucks but at least they know how to cook a steak and there will be no sticker shock. If you want to go high end, go to a place that knows their meats. If in Chicago I would recommend Gibsons, they bring you out all of the cuts of meat for inspection and selection, and truly educate you on meat. What I would not recommend is settling on a middling option like the one we have discovered. You will most often be disappointed and feel very upset over the $100 bill. read more

Wildfire quickly became my favorite restaurant this last year. The food is amazing to say the least. The male wait staff is wonderful and outstanding and go above and beyond to make sure you have a great dinning experience but so far I have never been impressed whatsoever by any of the female wait staff. read more

We have always had fantastic food and a fabulous experience here. My favorite is the medallion trio crusted three different ways and my husband craves their lobster bisque. We usually come here for special occasions instead of dealing with the headaches of going downtown, plus we can walk off our meal by shopping in the mall for a bit afterwards. Don't judge this place simply by its location. It's high class all the way. read more

I have never had a bad meal in this restaurant and that's saying something as I've been there over 100 times since it opened. This is a steak and chop house in a mall and you feel like you are downtown. Excellent execution of a classic menu. Superb wine list. This is a restaurant that knows what it is: a restaurant for intelligent folks who want a superb meal. Hard to find that in MN anymore. Every cool cat is trying to serve "art," and the rest employ high school students. Not here. No fru fru, no BS, just great food served by professionals. The wall is covered with plaques of regulars' names. Folks, like me, who love a great meal. read more

One of our favorite places in the Twin cities for streak and chops. Ruth's and Manny's are over priced and over hyped. Try the mushroom encrusted pork chops and the almond crusted halibut. They also make a mean French onion soup. read more

Our server impressed us at first but repeated the same lines and jokes with every table around us. Crab cakes were ok but tasted more like the vegetables than crab. The steaks were ok but the crusted toppings were overpowering. read more

The worst Turkey Reuben sandwich! Dry white bread, cheese not melted, very small amount of turkey--YUK!!

The food and service is always great. Love the atmosphere. We always go here if meeting with friends for dinner and drinks.

Great ambiance, great drinks (I suggest the berry mojito), nice steaks and prime rib, and usually good service. This is a favorite place for me and my wife when we have a date night without the kids. read more

This is my favorite restaurant. The ambiance is high energy on a Friday night. Everyone is excited and ready to enjoy a great meal. We had the Parmesan encrusted cod. And loved the crusty exterior and moist interior. Why can't all fish taste this good? We made a math error on the tab in the restaurants favor and they caught us before we got out the door. Nice to be treated like an old friend. I love this place. read more

On Valentine's Day, my hubby treated me to breakfast at Wildfire so that I could eat my favorite - lemon ricotta pancakes. I had checked Wildfire's website to make sure they were not offering a holiday brunch - they were not - which is just on Mother's Day, Father's Day & Easter. Very sad when we arrived at restaurant to be informed that they had made an exception that they would not be offering their standard Saturday/Sunday breakfast options because this year Valentine's Day fell on Sunday. When I asked the "manager on duty", all he said was "sorry". I contacted management through their website and NEVER got one word of response. VERY VERY disappointed in Wildfire's lack of customer service from their "manager on duty and whoever is monitoring their website comment section. Total lack of respect for their repeat customers. Even though my husband takes MANY clients there yearly, I won't be looking forward to frequenting this restaurant any time soon. read more

Good food, reasonably priced for higher-end steaks and 'fancy' food. Service was excellent and very helpful.

We've been here a couple of times but this past weekend was not a great experience. We had a fairly large group (6 adults, 1 child) and nobody was impressed. My ribs were average, my wife's steak was terrible, my brother-in-law did not even finish his sandwich and sons hamburger was like a piece of plastic. Lastly the server was less than thrilled to be serving us. As we left she was just standing there watching TV and didn't even bother to say goodbye or anything. read more

Hadn't been here in years, but it was only OK. The menu is fair, but not very extravagant. I wish that they would have pasta options (especially since the pasta restaurant next door closed down). The meal itself was just average, but the service was fairly slow. We went around 8 pm on a week night and there weren't many people in the restaurant, but it took forever for us to get our food. I ordered the chicken club sandwich and it was well done and a fair portion. It is a nice restaurant, but not sure when--or if--I will go back. read more

We traveled 10 hrs today to reach Minnesota and decided to end our day with a nice dinner at the Eden Prairie Wildfire. We love this restaurant and have also eaten at the Chicago location so we know the excellent standards of service and food they provide, however, NOT tonight. Everything was "off" tonight. Emilee was our server. It took a long time for her to acknowledge our table and take our order. It took longer to get additional butter to us and the bread was cold by the time it arrived. Just when we were expecting the salad to arrive, we were told they had to substitute a different lettuce type because they were out, so the salad took even longer to arrive. The last straw was being told they were out of the prime rib that was ordered 30 minutes earlier! The manager apologized, but did not do enough to make up for this. We would have chosen another restaurant had they been up front with us at the time we ordered. read more

gave them another shot. halibutt 40$. prices are insane for so so food. service is good.location good.

My husband I used to go to Wildfire regularly and always recommended it to our friends and family. After the market took a dive, we cut back on a lot of excesses like so many others. We decided we'd like to go out for a nice dinner tonight and decided Wildfire would be a great choice. Apparently the market has affected them as well. We arrived at 6:50pm for a 7:15pm reservation and didn't get seated until nearly 8pm. I ordered the Herb Chicken. My husband ordered the Tenderloin Medallion Trio. The chicken was probably the dryest I've ever had at an upscale restaurant and the steaks were not cooked medium rare but medium well. The au gratin potatoes, which I remember being served in a good sized casserole dish, were reduced to a 3x3 square, the mushroom caps were no more than average and the bread wasn't even warm. The service was good, but for the amount of the bill . . . definitely not something I'll repeat. What the heck happened Wildfire? read more

Great food, kinda more on the expensive side, but what do you expect from any place in Eden prairie. Definitly a fan of their deserts though! Strong drinks as well. Make sure you call for a reservation before you go they are usually pretty packed every time I go there. read more

Had Easter dinner there with the fam. Service was attentive, almost too much so...but that's better than being ignored. Food good. We had eaten here before, so we knew to request a table in the main dining room--have previously been shuttled off to a back room where ambiance and service were terrible. This visit, all went well and while the prices are a bit inflated, we did get a good meal with very good-to-excellent service. read more

Went there over the weekend - Great service and great food! Never go wrong with the chopped salad and steak! Thanks, Andrew Reiffenberger

excellent place to enjoy great steak and seafood! you will not be disappointed. the chopped salad is amazing. make reservations on the weekend nights though it gets busy. read more
