This will be a somewhat atypical review, as my experience didn't include eating/drinking in the primary dining area. We had a group of approximately 15 and reserved the \"back room\" for our event.\n\nIf you're looking for a place to host a nice, intimate party (say for a smallish rehearsal dinner, or a work celebration, or a larger birthday meal), consider booking this room. I'm guessing that with the proper configuration, the room could easily hold 40-45 people.\n\nThe room was set-up for us with the tables shaped in a large \"U\" so that we could all talk and share updates about projects and work efforts. We were assigned three servers, all of whom were absolutely spectacular - water glasses NEVER went empty, and as soon as a drink, be it a soda/tea/beer/wine/mixer was near empty, they were asking if you'd like another.\n\nTheir tap selection includes 16 offerings, nearly all were craft brews. Bottle selection was decent and included a fair amount of European options. I didn't browse the wine section, so I can't comment on it.\n\nWe ate from a limited menu. Appetizer options included: dinner salad with Kalamata olives, balsamic, feta, and veggies or their signature butternut squash soup with granny smith apples.\n\nI chose the soup and was surprised that it was fairly sweet tasting. It was tasty; slightly velvety, and the apples were still crisp when the soup first arrived, a pleasant surprise.\n\nThe dinner entree options included: rotisserie chicken with mashers and garlic green beans, glazed salmon with risotto, a \"deconstructed\" lasagna, or a gluten-free/vegan dish that was made with quinoa and veggies. \n\nAt the suggestion of a coworker who has been to Bonfyre many times prior, I chose the chicken, and am glad that I did. I'm not normally a fan of bone-in chicken, but this had a ton of smokey flavor and was incredibly tender without having a bunch of cartilage or connective tissue to deal with. The garlic mashers were excellent, and the sauteed green beans with garlic were superb. \n\nAs mentioned, the service was fantastic throughout the entire night. The room was also very comfortable; they dimmed the lighting and adjusted the music level so that we felt \"at home\" and could talk easily amongst ourselves. \n\nAfter we wrapped-up the meeting, a small group of us enjoyed a final cocktail at the main dining room's bar. The bartender was prompt and friendly; the drinks were extremely reasonable. \n\nI'll be back for a \"normal\" meal.
