| - We've visited Bonfyre twice - the first time I really enjoyed the atmosphere and I probably jinx myself for our second visit.
The first visit I ordered the pasta special - I double checked before ordering that the dish did not contain meat. Our waitress said "No it does not but you can add for $X amount" - being a vegetarian I wasn't interested in adding meat but very excited that a special was an option to order. Unfortunately when the dish came, there was sausage mixed in. We were not charged additional for it, but it definitely deflated my bubble. I hate to be "that customer" so instead I just picked out the sausage and ate around it. All in all we thought we would return to try something else on the menu.
So we did, on NYE. I was very excited to try something else which I was positive would not contain meat. All the food was great, no issues there. Here's where I jinxed myself from the first visit. On the first visit I said "It's nice to find a place to eat that doesn't have kids screaming or fussing, finally!" Towards the end of our meal on the second visit, a family with a toddler and children under the age of 10 were sat near our table. Seriously?! I know this is not the Bonfyre's fault, they were customers, too, but sitting next to a teething child and children who do not yet appreciate a night out to a nice restaurant (and who would rather play video games), just isn't my cup of tea. If I wanted to be surrounded by young kids and families I'd go to Applebee's. This deflated by evening for the second visit.
I'm sure there will be parents out there who read this review and find that my comments are insensitive, but I don't care, next time leave your young children at home and you won't have to read such a review.
So now I'm debating whether or not Bonfyre is worth a third visit - I mean if I have to listen to children fuss, I'd rather spend a lot less but the food was good.
