Bonfire Bistro

Bonfire Bistro This cozy little Bistro has limited parking. We parked on a nearby street. We waited outside to be seated. With the signs in the window we weren't sure we had been seen. Not to worry we were seated quickly by our friendly server. We had a large choice in seats in the two main rooms. We chose a bigger table near the window. We quickly got our menus and our choice of beverages. We chose the chicken with fig sauce and the beet salad with goats cheese and candied walnuts. The chicken was delicious, tender and juicy. It was served on sliced potatoes along side of carrots, broccoli, asparagus and cauliflower. The potatoes were so flavourful and cooked to perfection, the fig sauce mixing in from the chicken. The vegetables also tasted fresh and not over done. The beet salad was tasty original. The beets were sweet buttery and tender. The goat's cheese paired wonderfully with the beets. The arugula was young and tender and not bitter, the candled walnuts being crunchy and sweet added texture and completed the salad. Our food was brought out promptly. The service here was excellent, the food was great, the restaurant was clean. It's a great date night spot.

A truly enjoyable place to dine. We didn't have a reservation, on a Friday... total parent of young children mistake, but Diana made room for us at the bar. All staff were fabulous. All of them. Everyone smiled at us and helped us to make the experience with our three young children as easy as could be. The pizza chefs even brought the pizza over so they could talk to the kids and see how they liked it. Everything was delicious to say the least. This is the best mac and cheese I've ever had. The pizza was inhaled, and the beet and goat cheese salad was fresh, flavourful and crisp. Of course I would rather drive here with a friend or my husband, but I wouldn't hesitate to go as a family again.

We had a lovely meal this evening at this restaurant. It wasn't the first time we had dined there. We ordered the Beet and goat cheese salad and the Manitoba chicken breast. To drink was the Aranciata flavor of San Pellegrino. The meals came fast and were delicious. I especially liked the dijon vinaigrette and candied walnuts on the salad. Great mix of flavours with the roasted beets and soft goat cheese. We were there later in the evening - around 9pm - so it wasn't that full in the restaurant, with space to have a good conversation. Ambiance is very nice. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable. Thanks for a great meal.

Service is wonderful. Caesar salad needs serious work and not worthy of a restaurant of this caliber. Pizza had great overall flavors but was soggy in the middle on arrival to the table and the dough lacks taste (should be able to stand as it’s own work of art since this is the restaurants’ core competence). The brisket with gnocchi is excellent.

Went tonight with my wife and a friend and we all had Caesar salads and shared 2 wood fired pizzas. Plenty of food. Pizzas were spicy pepperoni and a pear prosciutto. The Caesar was excellent...just the right amount of homemade dressing. Pizzas were good. Spicy pepperoni not that spicy but lots of tomato and delicious pepperoni. The pear, prosciutto and onion pizza was good maybe a tad bland for me. We arrived when they opened at 5pm as they don't take reservations. The restaurant filled up fast as it doesn't seat a lot of guests. Friendly, efficient server and we topped it off with a chocolate cream brulee. Best part of a good meal. Had coffees and no alcohol. $81 + tip.
