Visited recently for a couples dinner. Apps were fine and entrees were really good. I had the seared scallops with risotto. Service was a bit choppy but it was quite busy. Nice atmosphere and good drinks.

My partner and I stopped here after a long day on Saturday for a simple drink and some cheese curds! We actually went to the Mexican restaurant next door just before... We decided to come here to Bonfyre after a sub par experience at the Mexican spot next door. ~ The funny thing is we had a $10 margarita at both Bonfyre and the authentic Mexican spot, Hands down Bonfyre had the better Margarita! The cheese curds are melt in your mouth and are to die for! Legit such a good decision! The service is spot on! We sat at the bar and had an amazing time. Can't wait to go back and try the food.

We have gone to this restaurant about a handful of times. The staff is always very attentive and provide good suggestions. The ambience isn't too loud. It's great for groups and for kids. The grilled chicken meal for kids is very decently portion for a growing child. Mine devoured it. The food is good and enjoyable. The seared scallops and the sauce were very tasty. The cheesecake is decent. The drinks are pretty reasonable too. If you happen to be in the area, it's a good stop for a nice family meal.

Came to celebrate a birthday also celebrated this food! The food at bonfire was very delicious and well prepared. We ordered many things off the menu and enjoyed. Some highlights were the grilled octopus, Calamari and ribs which were fall off the bone. Ordered the meat trio with Steak, chicken and Ribs. Recommend the ribs but not the cut of steak and rotisserie chicken which was unfortunately dry. All the other food was great so I was full before I got to it. I will definitely come back, especially for happy hour!

As part of burger week, they were highlighting wagyu burger. So decided to give it a shot. I took out lunch from here. Went for a Wagyu burger and zucchini fries. Zucchini fries came at a $6 upcharge, but a welcome change from the mundane sides. Wagyu burger was good. This place is part of an apartment building. From the parking lot, the restaurant is not visible. That was a bit confusing. Fortunately I decided to get down and walk around and found the place.

What a fantastic night to go out and try Bonfyre. Loved the decorations and the centering of the bar in this establishment, it was very lively. Overall, great experience, good food, and excellent customer service. We arrived during happy hour and ordered the zucchini fries. It arrived a little after our drinks and it totally hit the spot. The sauce has tangy and delicious. Our drinks were the mango martini and the Bonfyre Old Fashioned. Two very delicious drinks that are not watered down. We both shared a tomahawk steak with a side of asparagus and a twice baked potato that was delicious. We ordered a medium rare steak and the only reason I am giving this a 4/5 is because our steak wasn't medium rare all the way through. Some areas were rare. Besides this, the steak was delicious. We will both be coming back here again :)

Diner with friends. Bonfyre makes excellent cocktails. They are pricey but the barrel aged white Negroni and Bonfyre old fashioneds were nicely crafted and very good. Order the cheese curds. They are the best in Madison and I could make a meal of them.dinners do not include soup or salad so you need to order them Ala cart. This will add $10-$14 to your bill. The soups are good and I recommend the grilled Caesar salad which is large enough to be shareable. The ribs come if half rack or full rack. They are falling off the bone tender and come with Asian salad and mashed potatoes. The herb rotisserie chicken was average and came with mashed potatoes and excellent green beans. The wood fired seafood trio had salmon, shrimp and scallops in a lemon caper sauce served with risotto. It was very good, this a popular place and one that has good service and food.

Folks were visiting from Jersey. It was a perfect night to be sitting on the patio. The semi sheer blinds helped cut down on the wind and Sun, the patio a nice location for our dinner. Our server was attentive and congenial. The meals were, as per usual, very good. The dumplings had just the right amount of heat in the oil. I loved the ahi tuna app. Tasty tender strips of tuna complemented by a crunchy salad with sweet-hot sauce. The Wedge salad and steak was a favorite of my wife. The steak was packed with flavor and cooked to a perfect t med-rare. My salmon was tender, flaky and moist. Bonfyre did not disappoint. This is why it is one of our favorite restaurants around 'Madison.
