| - Eeek... I hate giving bad reviews, but the food was pretty awful. This is Bonfire's first week open, so hopefully they are just working out the kinks, and it gets better soon. Hottie and I went for Happy hour and dinner on Friday. I wasn't thrilled with any of their HH drink specials, so I just ordered one of their specialty martini's with Prosseco and some other yummy goodness! I loved my martini, which is good because I realized they were 11 bucks a pop when I got the bill! Hottie ordered a Stella on tap, but was served a bud light, they served him another... same thing. I am convinced they had the kegs switched up. For appetizers we ordered fried pickles (Hottie's choice) and grilled artichoke. The pickles were dipped in a thick batter similar to that of fish and chips- Ick! The artichoke was okay, but covered in oil... I mean my hands were dripping. For dinner Hottie ordered some "Jumbo Prawn" and Andouille Sausage skewer with a side of baked beans. His "Prawns" were not jumbo and they were obviously shrimp. His food was covered in oil too... I grill a lot at home and you don't need very much oil, that's what's great about grilling! For dinner, I ordered three sides, truffle and parmesan mashed potatoes, mac n cheese and grilled asparagus. The asparagus was excellent, the mac n cheese was okay, nothing special, and the potatoes were bland and dry... big disappointment. To end on a positive note, our service was good, and the concept is fresh, so I suppose we'll be back to give them opportunity for redeem themselves...we'll just give them some time to get on their game!
