Wildfire Steakhouse (Lobster fest)

Wildfire Steakhouse and Wine Bar is running a Lobsterfest promotion (on until April 1st) where you can get a 3 course meal for $45 (a really good deal if you're trying it for the first time). The menu is fantastic! If you love lobster then this is perfect since there's tons of lobster options.  

Lobster salad

Atlantic Lobster pieces, tossed with roasted red peppers, tomatoes and mango on a bed of organic field greens, drizzled with a light aioli dressing

There was definitely a lot of lobster pieces in the salad, but in comparison to the grilled calamari and the escargots: this appetizer was good, but it just wasn't as fantastic as the others. 

Grilled Calamari

Warm tomato salsa, capers, black olives, red onions and topped with salsa verde

I love this appetizer - the calamari is always perfectly tender and the salsa adds really great flavour to it. The only downside was that the appetizer portion was smaller than their usual portion size. Still, this is one of the best calamari appetizers I've ever had (and I keep coming back for it). 

Escargot provencal

served with herbed butter, roasted garlic and shallots with panko topping

Mmm snails drenched in garlic butter sauce - heavenly! And with the warm bread on the side - it's just juicy buttery goodness.

Surf and Turf

6 oz. Striploin Steak & 1/2 Nova Scotia Lobster,

roasted garlic mashed potatoes, seasonal vegetables and garlic drawn butter

The quality of the steak wasn't quite what we were used to when we eat steak here normally. So we weren't particularly impressed by the steak portion. The lobster was great though! They definitely delivered on the 1/2 Nova Scotia lobster! And as always, the sides were delicious: garlic mashed potatoes, grilled red peppers and a small cooked carrot.

Layered Chocolate mouse

Rich dark chocolate mousse under a layer of creamy white chocolate mousse with a blanket of ganache

This was good - but not our favourite dessert (that would have to be reserved for the Red Velvet cake)

Lemon Drop cheesecake

tangy, refreshing delight with a hidden layer of lemon custard on a graham cracker crust

We couldn't taste the "hidden" lemon custard layer (it was probably too well hidden). The actual cheesecake with the graham cracker crust was nice though. 

Red velvet

Moist sponge cake made with rich artisan red cocoa, layered with chcolate ganache and vanilla cream cheese frosting

Amazing - love it! It wasn't too sweet and there was enough icing to balance it out the layers. Fantastic dessert!
