"This is my first time ever writing a review and I'm sad it's a poor review about Bonfire. I have always enjoyed my meals here in the past but the last two experiences within the same month has ruined it for me. My family and I came here twice in the month of May to celebrate. The first trip: service wasn't too bad. Appetizers were good, entrees weren't. Two burgers were ordered well-done, both came out medium. Okay, maybe it was an off day and wasn't anything to complain about. Second trip: came right after my college graduation to celebrate. I couldn't be served a cocktail because they wouldn't accept my CT issued pistol permit? That is a government issued ID (minimum age of 21 to receive it) and they wouldn't accept it. Okay, I guess it's my fault for not having an ID they believe is acceptable. Appetizers were good again, great fried pickles. Meals came out, another disappointment. Because of trip 1, everyone checked their burgers to make sure they were cooked right. One had raw chunks in it. There was no question about it. When it was brought up to the waiters attention, we were told it was going back on the grill because there were bites taken out of it so they will not make a new one (no bites were taken, it was clearly raw as can be, it was visibly cut in half). After informing them that no bites were taken, we were then told a new one was going to be made. That came out more than halfway through everyone's meal. This second burger was almost fully raw and much worse than the first one. We are never ones to return food or ask for a new one but that was completely unacceptable. We couldn't believe it. The waiter took it back and was going to still charge us for it. The cod from the fish and chips was some of the worst fish. Lesson learned: Bonfire isn't the same anymore and has gone downhill sadly."
