Met up with some friends at the Bonfyre with my wife the other night for drinks and dinner and we were not disappointed.
To start the atmosphere was wonderful and a much needed addition to the south side of Madison / Fitchburg. The Bonfyre was clean and we immediately felt welcome.
After having a drink at the bar with our friends (a couple of them thought the bar staff was rude, but I did not see it) we were seated in the private dining area where the service was great. Our waiter was very knowledgeable of their menu and friendly. We ordered a cheese platter as well as the cajun quesadilla for appetizers and both were good.
After much debate we finally ordered our meals. I settled on a 8 oz. filet mignon with the peppercorn sauce and the steak was surprisingly delicious. Possibly one of the better steaks I have had in Madison (If you read some of my other reviews, i have a hard time finding good steak in Madison).
My wife decided to just try the margarita pizza and she enjoyed it (not really up to par with a place that specializes in pizza but...duh). I even had a taste and thought it was what it was...a pizza at a place that does not specialize in pizza.
Overall we had a great time, loves the atmosphere, and enjoyed the food very much. I found it odd that the restrooms were outside the restaurant and shared with the sub shop located next door but, oh well. We will be returning to the Bonfyre in the future.
