From the decor to the jazz music, Wildfire has the style and warmth that makes it perfect for celebrating with friends or a quiet evening for two. The extensive menu features broiled steaks and chops, wood-roasted seafood and roasted meats, all prepared in an open kitchen. Signature dishes include Horseradish Crusted Filet Mignon, Macadamia Nut Crusted Halibut, Wildfire Chopped Salad and Cedar Planked Salmon.

In 1974, George and his wife Joan ventured out to what was then considered the country. They found the perfect location on the shores of Diamond Lake. A great deal has changed since then, but our commitment to service and great food hasn’t. We welcome you to visit and see what’s new. It’s the Gale Street you love and remember with a more comfortable and updated atmosphere.

Had our annual Christmas Lunch. This was our 2nd year at Wildfire and have not been disappointed either time. Food was good, good temperature and our waitress made the rounds to make sure everything was ok and if we needed anything.

This was my first time dining at Main Street Social and it was a great experience. The food was absolutely outstanding and the atmosphere gave a very fun, chilled but elegant vibe. I highly recommend the Burrata as an appetizer and the salmon as an entree. We will be back for sure.

Delicious food and outstanding service in the Lounge portion of the restaurant. Everything was excellent but particularly enjoyed the filet mignon sliders and potstickers. Cocktail menu was extensive and fun. House wine was good. Service and menu recommendations from servers Brian and Mike were flawless. Highly recommend.

Wonderful food! Waitress was also wonderful and very accommodating. My only complaint would be to offer a side salad with the entree. Even at an extra charge would be fine. The Cesear salad was wonderful but way too big for 2 people to share as a side salad.
