Bonfire Wood Fire Cooking - Woodbury

My wife and I stopped to eat on 7-10-18 in the early evening.(5ish) The server was very friendly and inviting. We ordered the Tuesday special of whiskey sirloin steaks. The food was received very quickly. When the steaks arrived, I cut into mine to check how they were done. I ordered MR. My wife Med. Outside cook was good, but blue rare in color inside. Inside was solid jelly in texture, like a gummy bear. Not natural. There was no juice even when I pinched it. Not a drop. The flavor was palatable but texture of meat made this one of the worst steaks I have ever ordered at a restaurant. My wife's was exactly the same. We have eaten here many times and no issues. I don't know if they were cooked from a frozen state.

We were promptly seated, but completely ignored. There were many waiters and waitresses standing around talking. We were never asked if we needed anything or even asked if we wanted drinks. The bar tender clearly saw us along with many other workers. After waiting 15 to 20 minutes, without even a slight acknowledgement, we had it and left. Will probably not be going back for quite a long time or even at all. Really poor management.

Pleasantly surprised by our visit today. Food was excellent. Our table had a burger, fish tacos, walleye salad, burrito and tortilla soup. Prices were reasonable for the quality and quantity. Service was exceptional from start to finish by all parties. Our server Casey J was awesome. Will definitely go back!

I will be back and bring friends. The service was exemplary. Marissa had the brightest smile and even though I changed several things on my order it was perfect. The chopped salad is the best ever. The corn, chickpeas and avocado increased the flavor of the ingredients usually found in a chopped salad. Thank you Google for finding this place for me.

Edit: some improvement in food quality... [This used to be a good place. Food quality has consistently dropped over time while prices go up and happy hour is cut. If the wait at The Tavern is too long, come across the freeway to Bonfire. PS I've told Bonfire management this same feedback several times... Without improvement.]
