Beacon Lounge - Madison

On Tuesday March 12th we had an event at the BonFyre. It was a group of about 20 people and we were in the Beacon Room. It was set up beautifully and everything was wonderful. We had appetizer's and drinks all of which were amazing. Hannah was the person I worked with for this party and she did a great job making sure everyone had exactly what they needed or asked for. I look forward to working with Hannah again for future events. If you are looking at hosting a party I would highly recommend Hannah and the BonFyre. Tracy H.

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.

Bonfyre is a head scratcher. It's been open for over 14 years, in a peculiar location and puts out really average food at a higher than expected price point. Obviously, with that type of tenure, they must have a cadre of repeat customers but what am I missing? I've had several lunches there and all have decent but unremarkable. My latest lunch was a $18 chicken season wrap (with choice of side-I opted for the sweet potato fries). On the smaller size, the wrap lacked the garlic snap I would expect. Completely ho hum. The fries were dusted in cinnamon sugar and excessively sweet. No complaints about the service. Attentive and prompt, they were quick to refill water and other beverages. Kudos to Bonfyre for lasting as long as they have but I won't be returning to crack the code.

BonFyre is a restaurant that begs for executives to dine. The dark wood and kitchen in the middle sets a very high class ambiance. Our service was spot on! The food, however, just didn't wow. This is gonna be the only time on my trip. I was going to have Wisconsin cheese curds. They were very greasy and lackluster. I had the cilantro, lime salmon, which was nothing special. I did, however, enjoy the asparagus. My boss had the baby back ribs, and there was enough to feed a small army! My pier had the fillet baked potato and asparagus, and again said it was all right. For dessert I have peach cobbler which wasn't worth the calories. I would definitely try it again. We just weren't wowed.
