Is this place five stars in a vacuum, no. Is this place five stars in a Holiday Inn, absolutely. I had the New York strip and it was very good, better than Outback but not better than Fleming’s. My wife had the Trout and loved it. My son had the full rack of baby back ribs and said they were scrumptious. My daughter had chicken tenders and they were chicken tenders. Wildfire is a great place to take the family after a day seeing the sights. Keep your expectations in check and you will have a great dinner.

Don’t let this place discourage you just because it’s connected to a hotel. I’ve eaten at many amazing places that were and this is included in that.

Dinner at the Woodfire Bar & Grille the on-site restaurant at the Holiday Inn Asheville East-Blue Ridge offers casual dining. It’s a traditional steak house that boasts a modern twist. Our dining experience was truly an outstanding one with the best service from our server, Erica. Some of the dishes we tried and loved include:

Great place to eat! Don’t let the fact that it’s part of a hotel deter you. They have delicious food and great service.

What a hidden gem! This restaurant is located in the Holiday Inn (but is independent and not owned by HI). The service was great and the food was delicious. They have a nice selection of craft beers on tap and a good local wine list. Rolls are made in house and served with a wonderful honey butter. The wood grilled brussel sprouts are wonderful as were the ribs and pasta. Give this place a try!

The food is really delicious, but the ambience isn’t that great. The price that you pay is for upscale dining, but the restaurant is in a Holiday Inn lobby. They also have big screen tvs above the bar. The booths are pretty small and the wait staff is overworked. They were struggling to get everyone their food. And they close at 9 pm. Again the food is great, but everything else was sub par.

Never had hot wings in my life that were completely plain. Waitress said they had a dry rub. Could taste zero seasoning. Pricy food for quality. Saw a review that said hidden gem. DO NOT AGREE. Generic hotel restaurant with over priced food. Friendly wait staff.

This Woodfire Bar and Grill is inside the Holiday Inn in Asheville, NC. You don’t have to room here to eat at the restaurant but this is a ‘top-notch hotel remodeled not too long ago. Believe it was August 2019 when I was here last. Very good experience then, and equally now. The Garlic Shrimp Pasta consisted of jumbo shrimp sauteed in garlic butter sauce with fresh asparagus spears and grape tomatoes over angel hair pasta and topped with Parmesan cheese served with a side salad. Came to a screeching halt when I saw that and placed my order. Excellent entrée! And the House Salad included rocks: seasonal field greens topped with shredded rainbow carrots grape tomatoes and English cucumbers. Excellent chef presentation, and this dish has so many different flavors. So full I had to get my piece of chocolate cake to go and walked it back to my room.

We ate here our first night because we had a late arrival. I order the salmon with grilled brussel sprouts and my partner ordered a burger with fries. That was by far the best salmon and brussel sprouts I have ever eaten! They were both crispy and cooked to perfection! Compliments to the chef indeed!!!

The place looks inviting, and the food was just simply amazing. I had the pork chop and it was so thick yet juicy all the way to the center and seasoned right. The dessert (lemon raspberry something cake) is well balanced and refreshing. At first, we were hesitant because it was inside of a hotel but we are extremely pleased that we tried it.
