    Despite the fact that some businesses were closed due to accumulated snow, Wildfire was full service. All items on the menu were available. Three of us in our party of six had the medallions of beef which were done perfectly. The same with the two salmon dinners although the prices which included one side dish seemed a bit expensive. Server was attentive and pleasant but not oppressively so. All in all, a positive and worthwhile experience.

    The entire high tea experience was perfect and ideal. Everything was perfect! The foods outstanding. The tea selection was so many it was hard to choose from. We each were satisfied with our selections and recommendations from our server. It was a wonderful afternoon and I would highly recommend this for a special afternoon with friends and family. Plus they have a no cell phone use policy. It was nice quiet conversations, exactly how dining out should be. Thank you to everyone who made our cold afternoon a delight.
