This was our first time here, best part was our server Sabrina, she was really nice and patience with us on ordering. The food was okay.

Michael gave exceptional service! He was personable, quick, and made sure everything was perfect. Definitely one of the best experiences I've had at Wildfire. read more

OK YUM! Got the gluten free spicy Hawaiian pizza to go. Crust is yum! Wasn't expecting no tomato sauce but the sweet chili sauce was a nice touch. Bonus points for free ranch on the side. read more

My review is not in the food...everytime I go I order the Mushroom Chicken Risotto (it's not on the menu due to an error) it's so delicious. Everyone at the table enjoyed the food and drinks. My issue is with our bill-we were a party of 5 and they automatically included a 20 % gratuity. I am aware at other establishments it's 6 or more and then the gratuity is included. I looked on their website it does not state party of 5 or 6. Our service was good and I would have tipped accordingly. I just felt to include the gratuity automatically and not communicate that is a bit dishonest. PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR BILL! read more

Excellent experience from start to finish. The food was outstanding, and the service was just as impressive. The restaurant has a friendly, welcoming atmosphere, and the staff was professional, attentive, and courteous. Everything was clean, organized, and well maintained, which really added to the overall experience. It is on the higher end when it comes to pricing, but I feel the quality of the food, service, and atmosphere matches the price. Definitely a place I would recommend and come back to. read more

Overall, this is a great restaurant! I made reservations for Saturday at 10:00 a.m. and was driving in from the East Bay, so I arrived around 10:10 a.m., which was not a problem at all. I had a party of eight, although four of our guests didn't arrive until around 10:45 a.m. Our server was incredibly kind and accommodating. She even spoke Spanish with my father, which made him feel very comfortable. She stayed on top of our food and drink orders throughout the meal. The food was amazing. The only issue we encountered was that one of the meat dishes was not cooked well-done as requested. Since it was for a child who would only eat it if it was fully cooked, we asked for it to be corrected. The staff handled it immediately without any hesitation. I highly recommend this restaurant for its ambiance, excellent service, and spacious dining area. They even have a photo booth-style camera near the entrance where you can take pictures and have them texted to yourself or others. It was a fun extra touch that made the experience even more memorable! read more

Great menu selections and reasonable prices. Extensive bar selections, as well. Great sports watching while eating in the bar. Very good service, all the people here are nice and accommodating. I had the New York steak with mashed potatoes, medium rare. Steak was above average in quality and prepared how I asked. The dinner salad was a great side prior to my dinner. I would eat here again...although I'm from Southern California...this is one of the better places to eat up here in the Modesto area. Sports bar with very good food to enjoy. I recommend this place. Bar-tender Erica was very nice and great server. read more

Had a great experience at Wildfire Public House today! Our server, David, was friendly, efficient, and gave excellent recommendations throughout the meal. He recommended the lamb lollipops and they were absolutely amazing -- definitely a must-try. We also ordered the burger, bruschetta, and chicken wings, and everything was delicious. Honestly, we were so hungry we forgot to take pictures before digging in, but managed to snap one before leaving. The service was pleasant, the food came out great, and the overall experience was excellent. If you're ever in Modesto, definitely check this place out -- it won't disappoint! read more

Went in for Brunch on Sunday and was happy that we got all the menus so everything was on the table (pun intended). The AC was pumping so it was a little bit cold and a little bit loud but a great vibe. The food was great and the service was friendly and prompt. Happy to see they had Altamont beer on tap. We had a great time and will be back! read more

I took my wife there for our anniversary dinner. I did not tell wait staff that it was our anniversary, but it did not matter. They were pleasant and helpful. The food wasn't as pricey as some other places we've eaten at. I would say middle of the road prices. We were pleasantly surprised with the food. I ordered a medium cooked ribeye and it was perfect. Not one bite of gristle. My wife had the braised short rib with cheddar mash and she loved it. We both added a side of shrimp which were delicious and reasonably sized. The place is nice and clean. Not too much noise. We will definitely eat there again. read more

This Saturday upon entering the restaurant it seemed like a fancy dining restaurant blended with a sports bar. Good vibes and good playlist. We were greeted and seated almost immediately. Not too much wait time. It was during their Brunch hours. It took us a while to order since it was my first time and It's a lot of good menu choices. I ordered my food and it took quite a while to bring the food out. The food however was delicious. The lamb was thick and tender and cooked how I asked. The Mac and cheese was delicious. read more

Unfortunately, they're just alright. I had the Asparagus Cigars, truffled Mac n' cheese, signature wagyu burger, and the chocolate chip cookie stack. The asparagus cigars - well presented, okay flavor. It's not bad, not great, just okay. It's definitely something different & can be worth the shot. Truffled Mac - well presented again, but seems to lack a bit of flavor, but the bits of bacon was a decent touch to it. Signature wagyu burger - major disappointment. Wagyu... but drier than any other 80/20 patty. It was seasoned, but drier than the Sahara. The rest of the burger was decent & I did like the brioche bun, a lot. Chocolate chip cookie stack - we all know this is good. Its sugar. It's cookies and ice cream w/ some strawberries. Of course this one is good. Overall, this place needs some work. Service was great, food was mediocre. read more

This place is amazing! The decor the service the food! I took my hubby here because I went on a work meeting and thought he would love it! He did! Our server was friendly knowledgeable funny our food was so good we had the big pretzel the edamame with the garlic ranch sauce for our appetizers and the lamb and halibut for our entrees! We got 4 different drinks! We don't get out much but when we do we make it worth it! We will definitely be coming back!!! read more

The food presentations were amazing but the steak was underwhelming. I order the Flaming Ribeye and it lived up to the name but the steak was way under seasoned. Great cut, super tender but bland. I tried to add salt but it doesn't taste right with iodized table salt. I then order the pan seared scallops which were amazing! Cooked just right with a tasty slightly spicy sauce to complement I would go back if in the area again. It was a really nice restaurant, I just think they need to do better with the steak and potatoes entree. Too much money not to enjoy read more

The food was okay. The Mac and cheese was bland. Not very flavorful. The bruschetta flavor was okay but had a good crunch. It needed more tomato. The staff were good. They checked on us often but almost excessive. It made us feel like they were rushing us. I don't think they were because there were plenty of empty tables next to us. It was not very busy on a weekday night. There was a bar area. Plenty of seating. read more

First of all, I loved the ambience of this restaurant. The low lights are everything and I wish more restaurants would do the same. Especially the flickering little sconces by the bar. The hosts were sweet and our server was very kind. But for the food, honestly for the price point of the burger and chicken sandwich I'd say the food was mediocre. The chicken sandwich wasn't really spicy and the aioli sauce was the best part. The burger also was kinda bland. I just think it's not worth it for the price. $20 each and the burger doesn't come with cheese, that was another $2. If they were on the happy hour menu it may have been more worth it but idk I just had much better elsewhere for half the price. If I pay that much I expect to be wowed but it missed the mark for me. If I do come back I'd probably opt for something different next time. read more

Tried Wildfire in Modesto for date night with my hubby and it was... a mix. We went in expecting more of a dinner-date vibe, but the game was on LOUD, giving strong sports bar energy. If you're there for the game, perfect. If you're there to talk, maybe not so much. Getting seated took a bit, and when we asked for a booth we were taken to a table instead. We asked again and were told there were no booths available, even though we could clearly see a few open ones, which was a little frustrating. Now, let's talk about the highlights because they matter: The drinks were really good, would come back just for those. Food was great, solid and satisfying. For me, it was just too loud for date night, but I wouldn't write it off. I'd come back for drinks, a casual night out, or when I'm in the mood for a livelier vibe. Great food, strong drinks, mixed signals on the vibe -- date night? maybe. drinks with a buzz? 100 percent. read more

My mother and I visited this establishment while traveling through on our way to Groveland. Mom has the chicken dish and really enjoyed it. She said that the mashed potatoes and the mushroom cream sauce was the best she ever had. I had the Salmon with quinoa and a balsamic reduction. The dish was absolutely delicious. Our food came out hot and the presentation was amazing. Our server was fantastic and attended to your needs and had a great personality. There is a bar and lot of TVs throughout the restaurant with various sports being shown. There were celebrations and intimate parties in the same space with everyone having the atmosphere that they needed. I would definitely return and recommend this establishment. read more

Our waiter tonight was Robin. He did a fantastic job serving us tonight. It was me, my wife, and my brother in Christ named Michael. It was Michael's first time there so Robin suggested some great appetizers and entrees for him. Appetizers were: Giant Pretzel and Robin's suggestion of Seared Scallops. Wow! Those Seared Scallops were fabulous! The Giant Pretzel is always a winner too! Michael and I had the filet mignon dinner while the wife had the ribeye dinner. The steaks were cooked to perfection. The demi-glaze on the filets really took them over the top! Best filet I've had in years! My sides were aparagus and the filet was served on a bed of mushroom rissotto. I believe that they blanch the asparagus because the spears were firm and not soggy like when you boil them. I always prefer blanched. The mushroom rissotto is a great pairing and tasted wonderful! Robin was quick when I asked him for some mayo to top my asparagus with. The food was perfection tonight for all 3 of us. Thanks again to Robin for all his suggestions and answering all our questions. He made this not just a dinner but an amazing culinary experience! We will be back soon! We are hoping that they add prime rib to the menu by the next time we go there. read more

Robin was a great server, always checking in to see if we needed anything. The steak was amazing and the drinks were spot on.

Pretty decent steak with a $47 price. A big wow factor is they torch it in front of you. My husband didn't like the taste of the char but I thought it was cooked to perfection and tasty. I took a star off for ambiance - kind of noisy, table was a bit sticky and service was hectic. read more

The food was incredibly delicious, the atmosphere was beautiful and quiet hardly any people inside and none outside in the patio which i LOVED since i was looking to have a nice, intimate time with my partner. We were served by robin he was very professional and made sure we were good at all times. I would definitely come again read more

This place is AMAZING! Fast service, kid friendly. Every time I crave rack of lamb this is the first place I think of! Their cook on the lamb and ribeye we always order (med rare) is spot on. My only side comment is that when I do get the asparagus as my side veggie it tends to be a bit soggy and bitter so now I just sub it out for broccoli instead. Other than that, food is A1. read more

This review is regarding our visit on Fathers Day Sunday which also happened to be my 45th birthday. I arrived around 2pm with a party of 6. We were told it would be around a 1 hr and 45 minute wait which normally would have turned us away but I specifically ended up choosing this restaurant to celebrate my birthday out of 4 other restaurants I was considering going to. And plus I knew a lot of restaurants would be busy too because of it being Fathers Day. Anyway , one thing that I would recommend for the staff that work the front entrance is to offer people to sit at the bar area or the outside patio area while they are waiting instead of saying it's going to be a long wait and continue having conversations about things not having to do with work with their coworkers. It just felt very standoffish and not welcoming . I felt more like I was being told of such a long to turn me away instead of appreciating the fact I chose to eat here . Despite that, I told my husband let's just sit at the bar area while we wait which like I said wasn't offered to us as a alternative. Karina was very nice and attentive to us she has helped us in the past with our drinks and at one of our visits not only was our bartender but also took our food order. She's always had a good attitude and always smiling and strikes up conversations with us. Kudos to her . Also at this visit while she was cashing out for the day she informed us that someone else would be taking over for her and we were in good hands just thought that was very thoughtful of her . We ended up waiting about a hour at the bar area before another very friendly staff member Selena came over and seated us . Between Karina and Selena they totally turned around what started out to be not a so good visit . Selena was so nice and always had a smile on her face she even brought me out a special dessert for my birthday . So thank you guys again . And thank you Michael for taking my call earlier and listening to my concerns and recommendations for the front desk staff . Looking forward to a better overall experience during our next visit read more

Had an hour to burn between meetings, decided on this place randomly -- Met dawn and i knew i was in good hands. Ordered the vegetable lentil soup for appetizer and then the salmon as entree. Just a good spot. Salmon was great, pricing fair, and dawns service at the bar was top notch I'd come back here in a heart beat -- especially for that ribeye i was eyeing! read more

Wildfire is hands down the best restaurant in Modesto! From the moment you walk in, everything stands out. The ambiance is beautiful, the restaurant is spotless, and even the windows are sparkling clean; which says a lot about how much pride they take in maintaining the entire place. The food selection has something for everyone, and the quality is consistently excellent. Everything came out fresh, flavorful, and in a timely manner. Our server, Robin, was outstanding. He was efficient, attentive, and made sure our order was perfect despite the modifications I requested. He checked in at the right times and provided top-tier customer service. You can tell the staff is experienced and genuinely cares about creating a great dining experience. If you're not sure what to order, I highly recommend the Chicken Piccata, the Halibut, or the Asian Salad with all the toppings. Honestly, all are incredibly fresh and absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend Wildfire for any occasion, but especially for birthdays, anniversaries, or other special celebrations. If you haven't been here yet, it's a must! Great food, great service, a beautiful atmosphere, and an exceptionally clean restaurant. We'll definitely be back! read more

Service at wildfire is always excellent and the food is delicious! Love the new menu too!

Everything went great - but the server needs to know that you deliver food on your right shoulder, not across the table or not crossover another customer. And you should not ask your customers to pass down the waters our Just bring them a little bit at a time. Serve your people come back and bring the rest when you have a big party. You should pre bus your table once the appetizers are done with instead of letting the customer ask the server can she pre-bust because food came out which she served two plates at a time to a party of 16 which made two of my plates go back cause they were cold by the time they hit the table. Michael, just to let you know I love you very much you came out and handle and corrected the problem one by one on your own and I appreciate you this will not stop me from coming.back - I'm going to return. The wait time on food was a little long but it we did have a big party (16) - now it's time for dessert. We ordered two brown butter cakes the 2 new substitute for the wildfire s'mores they didn't have that so they have something in his place. read more
