Been here several times and just went recently again for lunch yesterday. It is a good place but rather middle of the road. Atmosphere is nice, food is good enough, and the staff is friendly enough. However, there is nothing that really brings the place over the top, except perhaps the cornbread. It is a good place to go and normally quite reliable in the food. Yet, there's just something about it that doesn't make it stand out. Price might be a little on the high side compared to what you get. However, if they kicked up the service and quality just a bit then it would really be a great place. Overall, it is a good a place to have a meal. I have had several different types of dishes. It is not a bad place to go, but it won't necessarily knock your socks off either, imho. read more

Just returned from dinner. This was our second visit. First visit was not good, wrote a comment on Open Table, since I booked it through this mechanism. The General Manager, Dan contacted me to discuss my visit. He was sincerely apologetic for my disappointment with my meal. Offered a gift card and asked us to return. The meal tonight was absolutely delicious. The server Chrisine was superb. The meal portions are pretty large. I got the coconut shrimp, my husband, the special cod of the evening. Both dishes were great. Of course, the corn bread was great. Thanks to Dan, the GM for personally calling me to make it right. We will be returning. read more

My wife and I have been going to Wildfire at Tysons Galleria for several years, but this last time we had dinner was just superb! Service was exceptional and the meals we had were just very very memorable --steak for her and luscious scallops done to perfection for me!! Quiet music in the background made it also very special. We rarely rate restaurants, but this one really deserves top billing! read more

We came here for Father's Day. We are seven of us. Our waitress hardly stopped by. She was busy serving the table next to us. Is it b/c our our table is mainly Asians? My sister noticed that all Afro-American tables are in one section. Six tables are all next to each other! Maybe it's coincidence but makes me wonder. read more

Worst sea food pasta i ever had in my life! over cooked, tasteless & served cold! did not complain because of the company. been there for lunch & was ok. Olive Garden serves better food for a heck of a lot less $!!! read more

The first time we went to Wildfire was a complete disaster, but my wife assured me that the stars weren't aligned correctly that time. I somewhat reluctantly decided to go there to celebrate our 49th anniversary. Luckily, our waitress was very friendly and professional; our waiter during our previous visit was part of the disaster. I decided to try the Parmesan crusted New York Strip and my wife ordered the prime rib. My wife asked about the fat content of the prime rib and the waitress said she would have the chef select the least fatty cut they could find. It turned out to have very little fat so my wife was impressed. My steak was absolutely delicious; in fact, it was the most tender and flavorful steak I've had anywhere including Morton's and Ruth Chris. The steak and the prime rib were cooked exactly the way we wanted and the food was hot when delivered. The sides were satisfactory, but not comparable to the main dishes we had. The only letdown was the dessert. We both ordered the cheesecake simply because it's one of our favorite desserts. Unfortunately, it was literally so hard that we thought it was frozen. Even after we used a knife to cut off a piece, we discovered that it was almost tasteless. We agreed that it was hard to believe that the dessert came from the same kitchen the food did. Because of the delicious main courses, we would definitely go back. We just wouldn't order cheesecake for dessert. read more

Got the beer flight which I though was weak as most of the beers on it were generic beers you find in the mid level of beer stores. Of course they had 1 of them was one of their own beers and in my opinion it was not very good. For this I deduct 1 star as if I see a beer flight I expect an new experience not something generic. At least coors, bud or miller lite wasn't on it but I don't consider Magic Hat, or Sam Adams something to be on a beer flight. Don't get me wrong I love Sam Adams as its my generic beer of choice when nothing very crafty is available, but was expecting something more crafty in their beer flight. I should have opted for the wine flight to experience something "new", just didn't realize what was on the beer flight until it was served. The food was delicious, and honestly it was the second time I ate aged steaks and it was truly amazing. I was very impressed with the atmosphere and the fine dining quality of their food without going overly out of range price wise like "Mortons". Sure morton's have some great steaks but they syphon out your wallet for them and I feel the steaks at wildfire and overall experience was in par with mortons without the hefty price tag. Overall I was very impressed and the bill can fluctuate in the sense that you can get items that are regularly priced at other chain restaurants as well as going overboard by getting some of their pricey items. Personally since I was in the area for work I was able to eat like a king and be very satisfied all the while staying way under my per diem (minus the alcohol as I had them ring it up separate as always). So that made me happy. read more

I really enjoyed this place!!! Are reservation was for 7:45 and we got their at 7:30 and were seated right away. The steaks were cooked nicely and the servers and were very nice including the host. The atmosphere was great. Very alive!!! The desert was awesome!!! We had the apple pie and ice-cream!!!(just a tad bit too much cinnamon) but was delicious. The only problems we had were with the seating. We were sitting in a booth behind a birthday party and they were so loud. Their were blinds to pull down but we were not about to pull them down. And the other thing we did not like was the seats. I hate leather because as a woman some dresses do not cover all of your legs so after about 2 hrs. Of sitting your legs become stuck to the seat which makes getting up very uncomfortable. The last thing I did not like was the portion size I got the classic surf n turf and the steak was the size of a regular dinner plate. Over all I would recommend to anyone that want a nice place to go for a date. read more

food was amazingly good. service was a little slow. but over all it was a good dinner.,

Was really impressed at their selection of gluten free food items. The gluten free bread they bring out is amazing! So tasty I was stuffed before dinner even came. The service was pretty good also. The food wasn't worth the price, however. 2 drinks (1 cheap glass of wine I thought; and a shot of whiskey for my man) was $27 without tip! I got the petite filet and for $30 I could have had a much tastier steak at outback (with a lobster tail and veggies). It wasn't very good. Literally a really thin piece of meat next to half a cup of mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes weren't the best either. It was edible and overall a good meal, but I don't think I will be going back since it's definitely not worth the price. Although I have heard good things about Brunch there so I MIGHT be willing to try that sometime. read more

Excellent service! Our waiter was very patient! The food and menu selections just aren't anything special! Bar food!!!

Excellent food, service and ambiance. I just wish they were located in Westchester, NY!

High prices, low quality. I went here with a group that had a reserved room (Savoy Room) for a Christmas party. The menu was preset so they knew over 2 weeks ago what we were having. Dinner was $50 per person, excluding any type of drink (alcoholic or non). The service was awful - we sat down at the bar for almost 10 minutes before a bartender showed up, waiters were few and far between, and lunch took a whopping 3 hours!! One of the main courses was prime rib - it was way overcooked (should have been medium), thin sliced and tough. It tasted like a burnt flank steak. Portions were less than generous - not saying we didn't get enough to eat, but they were noticeably stingy about putting the exact number of items on the family-style dishes. If one person at the table were to take anything extra, there would not have been enough for everyone. Overall the food was mediocre at best. When we got dessert we were offered coffee but the coffee didn't arrive until 10 minutes after the dessert did. We asked for the check as soon as dessert came because we knew that would be a long process. For two people to spend around $140 total and get what we got is embarrassing. We would much rather go to Maggiano's next door or Ruth's Chris where they actually know how to cook steaks! My husband and I didn't want to embarrass ourselves since we were at a group function so we didn't complain, but we will not be returning. read more

Fantastic birthday meal! Halibut special and prime rib were perfect. Service was attentive and friendly. Manager came to the table after waiter clearly reported it was our first time (certainly not our last!!). Can't say enough...and look forward to returning. read more

I cannot express my extreme disappointment in our family's Saturday night dinner at Wildfire. Where to begin? 1. Our waiter was, for the most part, absent. And sad to say, we had a difficult time understanding him. 2. It took over one hour to get food and drinks. 3. We were not offered any additional drinks, bread, etc. during this prolonged wait. 4. My husband ordered a medium steak and my son ordered medium rare. After the 1+ hour wait, both steaks showed up well done. They were returned. My daughter and I ate our meals, and about 25 minutes later the manager appeared with appropriately cooked steaks. Once finished, we waited approximately 15-20 minutes to see the desserts offered that night. By then were had been there for over 3 hours and we were ready to leave. No intervention by the manager could have corrected the many errors done by the staff and the kitchen. We will not be returning. read more

I have always enjoyed Wildfire since I first discovered it in Oakbrook, Il. The restaurant in Tysons has been consistently good. However I took my family to brunch last Sunday and had a terrible experience. The table management was poorly executed. It took ages for the waiter to greet us. 10 minutes for coffee to arrive cold. No refills for the two and half hours we were there. The food took forever to come. The pancakes were burnt and cold. My husband and I ordered from a three course menu. We should have known better as it was obviously food that was leftover from the previous nights service. We only had two courses before we gave up. Our dirty plates were on the table for 30 minutes. I asked another server to bring a bus boy which took another 10 minutes. I'm not sure why she could not clear the table. At one point I counted 10 service people staring at the kitchen. I never saw our waiter again. I flagged down another server and asked for the manager to bring our bill. The manager did take two meals off the bill but honestly it was so awful that I doubt I would go back. It's a shame because the dinners I have had there have been excellent. It's sad to see a beloved restaurant slip in quality and service. read more

Terrible service. We booked a large group (attending a conference) for the bar (20-30 people estimated) well in advance. We ended up with 15-20 in the center reserved table. The waiter was angry that we were there and such a big group from the beginning. He declined to take a group ticket and told us that taking individual tickets would take a long time and were going to be a big onus on him. Once the 5th or 6th person arrived he started telling them they should just go up to the bar and order because he didn't have the time to deal with them and it would be too hard. Needless to say service was slower than Christmas. Once our boss arrived, he suggested to Mr Personality that we close out our tickets (we'd have to do so eventually anyway) and he would put all the future orders from our group on his tab. Flatly refused. It was terrible and embarrassing. It made their mediocre food (chicken chewy and one guy got sick from his undercooked sausage) completely intolerable. This was the second time we had had our conference go to this restaurant and, because I am a creature of habit (and in charge of the conference), we'd probably have made it a tradition for our biannual gathering. We will never, ever go back there for ANY reason - for the conference, the HQ office lunches or HHs - but it has already gathered a great deal of steam among our large company as the place NOT to be with waiters with a total chip on their shoulder. There are TONS of other options in this mall alone. Skip it. read more

A group of friends and I tried this restaurant for the first time today. We were a party of 7 and decided to try the family style dinner menu. It took a very long time for the appetizer to arrive. Then we waited at least 30 min for the salad and another 30 min for the main course. By the time our desert arrived, all other parties in the dining room had already left. Meanwhile, the waitress was distant and did not check in with us periodically. Our party spent 3 hours there not including waiting time for our table (45 min). Majority of the 3 hours was spent waiting for our courses. Besides the long waiting time, the entrees were very disappointing. The filet mignon was dry and flavorless. Also, the roasted vegetable were burnt and bitter. The food was not only disgusting, the portion sizes were tiny. The "family size" portion could possibly satisfy a family of one not seven. Overall, it was the most unsatisfying dining experience I have ever had. I never complain at a restaurant but felt it was necessary to inform the manager about our experience. His name was Drew and assured me he would find out what exactly happened. He never came back to our table to give an explanation. This restaurant is a waste of time and money. Stay away! read more

I completely echo Laura S.' recent review. We had gone to Wildfire after our older son's high school graduation two years ago, and the meal was superb. The Filet Mignon was so soft and tender it literally melted in your mouth. The sides were excellent, as were the desserts. With that great experience in mind, our younger son also chose Wildfire for his recent post graduation meal. It was disappointing on every level: Slow service, and his Filet was undercooked. When we politely pointed this out to our waitress, she simply indifferently shrugged her shoulders and did nothing. She was aware of the occasion, and a better restaurant would have clearly reacted very differently. Also, the service was on balance slow and inattentive. Two notches down from only a few years earlier. Lastly, the sides looked like a small bag of McDonald's fries had simply been dumped onto the plate next to an undercooked steak. We will not return, and it saddens me that our son even a month after the fact mentions how disappointed he was. read more

I had a semi-formal morning ceremony at a nearby hotel, and then shuttled my guests over to the Wildfire for lunch. It is beautiful inside- not just nice for a mall restaurant, but any wedding reception. I am a foodie, Latina, and my (now) husband is Korean. Imagine trying to find a good menu for that fits us, our family, and our friends. We also had a vintage (some said Mad Men-esque, although I've never seen the show) theme. The Wildfire is a supper club. Wine bottles line several walls, and there is beautiful polished wood and tasteful art-deco touches everywhere. The food is excellent. We ordered passed appetizers, two course meal, passed desserts, and alcohol for 3 hours, in addition to wedding cake. Needless to say, our guests were pleased with the variety and quality of the meal. When we received the check, my (now) husband was also pleased. It was an excellent value- top notch food and beautiful room, for an excellent price (especially for the Tyson's Corner area). The room fit 85 (sitting) people perfectly, along with the in room bar, sweetheart table, wedding cake table, guest book table, and gift table. You really don't want any more than that. Mind you, there was no room for dancing, which was fine with us and our guests since it was a luncheon. We used their large, flat screen TV's free of charge for the slideshow, and the in room speakers for the classical guitarist and DJ iPod for background music for free. They charge a nominal fee for use of the microphone. They have two planners you use during the process. Amanda was really nice and helpful during our meetings prior to the luncheon, although Elissa was a little cold and I only met her once for 30 seconds for the tasting. Truth be told, I'm ok with that since the waiters themselves were amazing and gracious, and one was even assigned to assist me in sticking with the timeline. I wish I could remember her name, because she was my lifeline during the luncheon. Overall, I highly recommend. read more

This was our first visit but our guests dine at Wildfire fairly often. We were all greatly disappointed with poor service that was inexcusable given the high prices here. Our waiter was very unfriendly and ignored a request for additional copies of the special menu. A single copy for 7 people to share was inadequate and his verbal recitation of specials was incomplete. Although the food (filet, prime rib, salmon) were all good, it took over an hour to get our entrees after ordering. The manager did apologize for the delay in service but then denied that we had been waiting more than an hour which greatly offended our guest who dined there regularly. The manager did reduce the bill for an amount which did cover the automatic 18% tip (undeserved anyway) and some overcharges (including an unordered drink that was sent back). Generally our guests are very forgiving, but the surly waiter and long wait were just too much to leave our concerns unspoken. With upscale prices, we expect commensurate quality service and ambience... not crowded dining room seating with poor service. read more

Having been a frequent diner at the Wildfire in Chicago, I was expecting a LOT more than what the Tyson's location provided. My wife and I relocated to DC almost a year ago and recently decided to make the trek to Tyson's Corner for some crusted filet mignon. We were extremely disappointed. I had hoped the generally terrible service that we get in DC-proper wouldn't extend to Wildfire; unfortunately, it does. We arrived and were promptly seated. It was clearly a slow night, but it took 10 minutes for the waiter to come to our table. We were on the verge of just walking out, but we stuck it out because we were craving the steaks. The server didn't apologize for the wait, or even acknowledge that we had been sitting there for 10 minutes. He acted almost as if we were inconveniencing him by being there. As I looked around the room, I could see staff standing around joking and generally ignoring the customers in the restaurant. I have come to expect that in DC, but I assumed Wildfire would be much like the one in Chicago. I guess the guys in Chicago run a much, much tighter ship. The food was the only bright spot and it was consistent with what we came to expect in Chicago. I was just incredibly disappointed that the service was far, far below the standard we were used to. It seems that Lettuce Entertain You doesn't keep such a tight lease on the restaurants that aren't in Chicago. We won't be returning... read more

i actually went to this restaurant with a party from work... i must say however that if my work had not been paying for the evening i most likely would not have gone... their food overall is quite expensive and while the menu makes everything sound amazing the quality received is really not... I probably won't be going back... read more

We stumbled across Wildfire last night on a trip to Tysons and were very impressed. My husband and son started with the crab cake appetizer and bison meatball appetizer before my arrival and said both were delicious. Our meal began with a generous serving of cornbread. That alone was worth the trip from Annapolis! I started with the chopped salad which had the perfect variety of flavors, colors, and texture. The citrus lime vinaigrette was light and tasty. The bourbon tenderloin tips I ordered were full of flavor and cooked perfectly, the onions adding the perfect flavor enhancement. My son had the filet from the kids menu and it was so tender and juicy, not at all typical kids fare. Our waiter was attentive and friendly and the service was excellent. I mentioned my walnut allergy in passing and every item that was brought out after that was marked with a plastic spear to indicate the item had been checked and cleared for any allergens prior to being brought to our table. The manager, Jordan even came out to say hello and to answer any questions we had. The portions were quite large so we were too full to try the desserts, but they looked wonderful. We left feeling satisfied and looking very forward to our next visit! read more

My boyfriend and I went to Wildfire on a Monday night because they have half priced bottles of wine on Mondays. It was pretty crowded when we got there at around 8, but we were seated right away. We ordered a bottle of the Kendall Jackson chardonnay for $18 (a pretty good deal). We started with a goat cheese spread appetizer which was served with pita triangles... great! Tasted like the inside of a lasagne. I do wish the pita was softer, though. We also had an unusual "Greek" salad, which I could have done without, although it wasn't bad. We each had filet mignon and both were cooked a perfect medium rare (a warm, red center... many places call that rare, but I call it a perfect medium rare). We had some decadent cookie thing for dessert, which I also could have done without. Two bottles of wine, two apps, two entrees, one dessert, and two shots of espresso vodka and the bill was around $150. Not bad! The service was pretty good, too. I like this place, and will return for another solidly good dinner. read more

My girlfriend and I went to Wildfire in Tysons Galleria recently. As soon as we arrived to the host stand, it took the two hostesses having a private conversation about 5 minutes to pay us any attention. They finally walked us to a table, where we waited another 15 minutes before a busboy, not waiter, stopped at our table to even acknowledge us. Our menus were oily and filthy and the restaurant was pretty empty. We finally decided to move to the bar, where we hoped to receive better service. On our way, we passed by the host stand to alert the hostess that we opted not to sit at a table because no waiter chose to serve us. She stared blankly at us, so we just walked away. The bartender was a little more attentive. He promptly asked us if we wanted something to drink and provided us with two new, but equally filthy, menus. We both ordered a glass of wine and salads. My girlfriend requested that her Wildorf salad not include chicken. What a terrible decision! She ended up getting an oversized portion of shredded lettuce with literally 1 raisin and maybe, if we looked hard enough, a pecan. We then made the mistake of ordering a dessert in hopes that the experience could get a little better. We ordered the seasonal berries crisp, which was stale and bitterly over-sweet. It's sad when corporate restaurants, that make much more money than our hard working mom/pop shops, infiltrate our malls while serving up such terrible food experiences. Tysons deserves better. read more

The food is good but be sure to wear your parka! It was about 60 degrees outside but the AC was on the entire time we were there. I don't care if that's for the benefit of the employees -- the customers are the ones paying for a pleasant experience. Also, we made the mistake of purchasing the $100 holiday coupon which supposedly includes a bonus $25. Surprise -- you have to wait to 2016 to spend the bonus. Very deceptive advertising at best. So the manager made it even worse when he was unwilling to let us spend the bonus amount at dinner. I think he really didn't understand the situation and kept arguing with us. He should have just allowed us to use the coupon instead of aggravating everyone at the table. The fine print on the back of the offer is written in 4 point font. In summary, the food is good, it's freezing and don't purchase the holiday special coupon. Oh, and one more thing, don't order the caesar salad, because it's not a caesar salad. read more
