We decided on a casual evening at a local restaurant and, having not tried Bonfire Bar & Grill before we thought it was a good time to give it a go.
We ordered loaded nachos as an appetizer - and asked for no chili. Not 5 minutes later a massive plate of nachos appeared. It was probably whole bag of tri-colored chips. The cheese sauce was interesting. It tasted like it had been cut with cream if that makes sense. There was unmelted cheddar chese sprinkled on top. Interesting. Not bad, just not like nachos we've had before.
Husband ordered the fettucini alfredo with chicken. His chicken was very, very dry and it tasted "off". He didn't eat more than a few bites and didn't want me to try it. His alfredo sauce was very heavy on butter. The sauce broke in the bowl. It was a new menu item so perhaps the chef is still working out the kinks.
I ordered the special. It was a 7oz filet with bacon wrapped scallops, asparagus and potato wedges - all covered in a blueberry reduction. This is where it gets interesting and confusing. I ordered my steak medium rare. It came perfectly cooked. My scallops were perfectly cooked - the bacon on the outside wonderfully crisp. The potatoes were perfectly cooked - crispy on the outside - soft on the inside. The asparagus - meh, it had been in a steamer for a while or something, not offensive but over done for sure. All of that perfectly cooked deliciousness was coated in a disgusting, sweet blueberry sauce. As it is, tonight's sauce would have been better suited on ice cream - certainly not steak! I think maybe the sauce just needed something to cut the sweet - pepper maybe? But with a beautiful filet and really nicely cooked scallops - why sauce it? They would have been great on their own.
Our server was very helpful and attentive. The staff in general were all kind and helpful. Prices seemed reasonable.
Hopefully they'll work the kinks out of their sauces and it will be a really great local place to have a nice meal.
