Stopped in around 9pm and was sat right away. Was a bit cautious due to some reviews however they were amazing. From start to finish. Orders the scallops and lamb chops and they were delightful. I wish I had more space to order another round of both. lol The gentleman who assisted me, informed me of a few items that were no longer on the menu from customer feedback and one item they were out of. The scallops were cooked perfectly and sooo juicy. The lamp chops had a great cook on the outside and lovely medium inside. The edamame along with paired nicely. I ordered the truffle mashed potatoes which also were seasoned well. I liked the Al La cart option since I wasn't going to do the all you can eat. Overall good experience and I'd return if in the area. read more

Fantastic service! The service was top tier, the only problem I had with this place was the food sadly. Maybe it was a bad day or the kitchen was understaffed, but the meat was overcooked to more than well done for a medium rare steak and the oysters were not fresh at all. I think it was just a bad day because I have heard great things from them. read more

Last minute NYE booking led me to this Gem, amazing food, service and vibe. Highly recommend the Churasco option, selection for 12 top meats/seafood and salads that rotate until you've had your full and freshly cooked. Great to go with a big group of friends or on a date. I wish I had better pictures but the drinks were flowing and the vibe was just too good with Instagram stories the only memories of a great New Years Eve dinner. read more

Wonderful all you can eat place if you are a meat lover! The price is really worth it when you consider all you get - Waterfront dining, great ambiance, attentive friendly service and the food was delicious! read more

Seriously, nothing's worse than this. Meat was overcooked and dry... like it was cooked long before we arrived. $50ish is too expensive for the disgusting thing we had (don't even call it food, it doesn't deserve that word), not to mention the dishonesty if they serve better food for those who went for a la carte. This was actually the first time I went for all-you-can-eat all because the host suggested that "it would be a good experience if you've never tried it before." I just thought the price was high so they wouldn't serve shitty food but it was a grave mistake. read more

if you're reading this. Please save your money! we paid $89 per head for a set menu. the waitress had no idea about the menu or drinks. she didn't know what a Pilsner was WTH?? waiters hardly ever came around with meat and when they did it was dry and terrible cuts of meat. The calamari were like tough hair ties. the small bowl of tired salad and soggy potatoes were suppose to replenished but never were so our table of 4 had 2 chips each and some soggy lettuce. The floors we're greasy from inattentive waiters who let the liquids drop from the meat they're serving. what a cheap experience for an over priced restaurant. Oh and the desert the crème brûlée was like scrambled egg!!!! read more

Loved coming back when service is continuing to improve. I rate this place every time and it seems that things are changing every time I come in. My friend and I actually had a great time, food was served on time, the atmosphere was great and the service was great. The manager on duty followed through checking in on us making sure all tables were comfortable etc. I'm not giving you a 5 rating as I had found a fish bone in the round fish ball which I left on the plate. Thanks for a great night, keep up the great work read more

I visited Wildfire for the first time tonight with a group of friends. We didn't know what we were in for! But we definitely walked away satisified. We opted for one of the set dining options - $40 each for continuous service of meat, seafood and side dishes (vegies, salad, bread). Staff rotate round with cuts of lamb, chicken, beeef, sausages, seafood and more! We thought it was the most gourmet buffet we had ever been to.. At one point we got so mindblown that we just had to have a breather, so we switched our little red/green centre piece over to the red - which signals to wait staff that we don't want them to stop at our table. I particularly enjoyed the lamb, salmon and the side dish of zucchinis. I thought all the food was to a high standard. Every so often we saw a dessert trolley go by, but we couldn't sample any of those delights because that is another, more expensive menu option. I'm not sure if I would have been able to fit much of that in, but they too looked divine. Really great restaurant, located on the Princes Wharf. Seating inside and out (overlooking water). read more

Ate here last night my wife n I been to different Brazilian churrascaria. We wanted to eat NZL lamb & beef and other NZL LOCAL. We're foodie couple n we know a good food. Wildfire is the best of all up to now from California to NZL. Service was very good n price was not a problem read more

If you love BBQs this is the place to be. Only reason why it's 4 stars is because of the price. Too expensive. Good for special occasions. Highly recommended though, unless if your a vegan than it's not for you. However they have great sides as well which you'd probably enjoy. read more

Had a delicious dinner and dessert. Didn't have a booking but were seated straight away! An amazing way to try new things ie octopus. The lamb was juicy and delicious. And the dessert...... was beautiful to look at and to eat. Yum yum yum! Definitely recommend read more

After spending almost a week in South Korea eating the goddamn meatiest food ever contrived, I landed in New Zealand fucking DYING for a salad. Or an apple. Or just something that, at some point in its existence, didn't make farmyard sounds. That evening's dinner was a group deal in this place called Wildfire, which was apparently Italian. "Sweet," I thought, "Italians eat salads." We made our way to the restaurant (bonus Yelp review of Auckland: it's beautiful. Live your life there) aaaaaand NOPE. Fuckin' Brazilian steakhouse. Too jetlagged to protest, I waddled my ever-expanding frame to the table and sat down, ready for some Portuguese-speaking chap to kick me over the brink into the sugary diabetic abyss below. And you know what? Sod it. Take my feet. The food was incredible. Round after round of perfectly seasoned and cooked food swung by until I was beyond stuffed. The chicken thigh was a favourite, along with the sausage, which I never thought I'd really want in my face at a Brazilian steakhouse. The usual assortments of steak servings were excellent, as was the pork belly. They brought round weird pasta dishes, which I didn't really understand, but hey ho, whatever floats your boat. I suppose I should have factored in price before deciding that Wildfire was a five star Yelp review for me, but, it being a work dinner, it was kinda free. Still, unless they demand triple digits or body parts for their food, I'm standing by the score. The place is great. If you ever find yourself in Auckland and you're looking for somewhere fancy to eat, try it! THE END. read more

Went here several years ago while travelling through New Zealand with my daughter. Most of the New Zealander food was rather bland, so for our last night in New Zealand we decided to try something different. This was our introduction to the Brazilian churrasco experience. The food was magnificent, it was plentiful and the wait staff never tried to rush us. It is an experience I would love to repeat. read more

Ordered two meals: wildfire burger and fire roasted vegetables. We were the only people in the cafe section, but it took 50 minutes for our food to arrive. Our glasses were dirty, and had bit stuck them on the inside. During our wait, other people were served, and our order was served to the wrong table. The burger was average and the vegetables were subpar, I felt ill after eating them. An incredibly disappointing $44 meal. Two stars because the view was nice and the location was good. read more

I've been to Wildfire for lunch only, on a hot summer's day. The service was fine and the location was lovely, I just struggled to find something on the menu I felt like for lunch. Most of the options were full meals with meat, not something I felt like on such a summery day. I went for the Ceasar salad which was pretty cheap at $14.50 but not enough for a whole meal. It's probably great for people who like eating lots of meat at every meal, but if you want a big lunchtime salad by the water look elsewhere. read more

Great service, good food. A co-worker and I went by after getting off the ferry so it was early. Would have given a 4th Star if we hadn't discovered that almost an hour after we sat down some of different (more elaborate/expensive) cuts of meats were just starting to come out. of course we were more than full by that point and had to pass them up. read more

The service was very good. The food was ok. The food was a little salty and they serve all the meats medium well- well done. The Brazilian places I've been to have their meats cooked to order. read more

So, I've heard this place is a restaurant? That's news to me, I've honestly only been out here to dance in the wee small hours of the morning. I'm not sure what it's like as a restaurant but I really like it as a club. They play modern latin dance music which is great fun to dance to and the whole place has a very cool vibe. I love the mini fireplaces they have scattered around. One of the things I really like about it is how safe I feel when I go there. It attracts a slightly older crowd which means the atmosphere is slightly (and I mean slightly) more refined than the average Viaduct club and you don't get so many hideously drunk guys hitting on you or trying to molest you (YAY). It's a really great place to go with a bunch of girlfriends who just want to dance. read more

Good restaurant, went for a late lunch and we had burgers. Drinks were good, and the service was attentive. High quality burger and food all the way round. Kinda pricey, but worth it. Would go back. read more

Great service ... staff was very friendly, excellent food that is well presented and tasted great. Highly recommended for dinner and lunch this place is perfect for groups or a casual date night.... perfect ambience... would definitely recommend to friends and family read more

We visited Wildfire for the first time while visiting Auckland recently and we were definitely impressed. I'm sure you'll get the gist of how the menu works from the other reviews, however I'd add that the wait staff were prompt, efficient, and friendly as well. Whenever you think of "all-you-can-eat" type formats, one tends to automatically assume that quality of food is compromised as the establishment opts for quantity over quality. However in this case I was surprised by the impressive culinary skills of the kitchen staff to consistently delivery high quality and flavour-filled cuts of meat throughout the evening. We will definitely return here next time we are in town. read more

Oh how I loved this place. As much meat as you could eat. Its not just cheap cuts, its real quality. The waiters come round with different cuts of meat all the time, Steak, lamb, chicken, sausage, squid. You will need to calm it down with a few veggies otherwise you will get the meat sweats. You have what looks like a pepper mill on the table. One end is red and the other is green. All the time you have it green you will be presented with food. As soon as you need a break or want to stop you turn it over to red. Pure genius. The price was amazing too. At least half what I would expect to pay in the UK You have to book though as it gets very busy very quickly. read more

I'm from the USA. I travel quite a bit. I must say I have never experienced such poor service. My party waited 12 minutes to place order. It took another 12-15 minutes for food to arrive. We had no napkins or silverware. The food was tasty, but the atrocious service made for a horrible dining experience! The food arrived and after 43 minutes, the waitress never returned. The most amazing aspect of this experience is that we were the only guests there for the first hour!!! Went in to complain and manager was extremely rude and in apologetic!!! read more

Don't know about the food but the bar and DJ are crap. Spent a few days at the Hilton nearby and tried this place twice for evening drinks. Location can't be beat but management lacks skills and the DJ cant mix to save his life. He does have the volume figured out, at least how to blast his bad taste. Maybe the food is good but get out before the DJ shows up. The locals have it figured out. They are at the other places nearby. Sad. read more

I arrived about eight thirty on a busy week day night for a friends thirtieth birthday dinner, a first timer at the Wildfire restaurant I sure was in for an amazing treat. I ordered a glass of Pinot Gris from the bar and walked around to our booked table for twenty, the entree started with some breads, dips, olives, and cheese, whilst we waited on the waiters to rotate around the room with different choices of meats- when I say choice there was a lot to choose from. Grilled chicken, lamb, beef fillet, fish, salmon, chicken heart, pork, prawn, vegetables, endless options, and constant. Once you decide that you have eaten enough you can close the table down for a rest by placing a red roller on the table, once you feel keen again flip the roller to show green which will start the flow of food once more. The restaurant was closing down for serving around 11pm. The entire evening the very busy restaurant had a birthday celebration song at every single table, I didn't know whether it just so happened this night everyone was celebrating there special day or if it was just part of the Wild Fire Churrasco experience? All In all I had great efficient service from well trained staff and a fabulous festive dinner. Well worth the set price I paid. read more

My husband and I went for an impromptu early Friday evening dinner, and had a great time. For clarification, the only reason it's not rated as 5 stars is because we found the restaurant really brightly lit and felt a little cramped (had to move the table so my husband could actually get into his seat due to a column behind his chair). Having said that, the meats were wonderful - I like pork, chicken, seafood, and husband loves red meats, so we were both well-served! We chose a red wine - chianti - which actually matched well with everything, and I had a cocktail from the trolley server which was lovely and strong - wheeeee! My highlights were the chicken, so juicy and tender, the pork, and the roast lamb. Hubby loved the pork as well, and the freshly made pork sausages. Delish. It IS expensive (full bill was just a touch under $150), but a fantastic experience, and I'm still in a (pleasant) meat coma a day later! read more
