    We were able to take advantage of the Valentines menu. It was well worth the price. There were four of us and we were able to share everything. The Wildfire chopped salad was great as always. Steaks were cooked well, salmon was good. Bacon wrapped scallops always one of my husbands favorite. Our server Robert was wonderful, he did not rush us and was very pleasant.

    Going to a place regularly has it's perks. The servers get to know you the carvers do too and you don't need to ask for anything. I didn't even fully sit down with my plate of salad, card not yet turned to green and I already got my favorite cut of meat (lamb picana) brought to the table. The service was on point the whole dinner and they even made some special requests for me (rare/blueish instead of medium for some of the filet mignons), which I really appreciated. As 99.9% of the time a great meal/experience and service!

    The atmosphere is relaxed and family friendly. Our server Bianca, was personable and attentive and willing to engage with us. I was looking forward to a good corn beef sandwich and I wasn't disappointed. The food was served quickly and was hot and flavorful. And there was a lot of it. We all had leftovers to take home. It got a little noisy as the night progressed, but you'd expect that on a Saturday night at an Irish Pub. This is one of my favorite restaurants and we're sure to return.,
