Overview
Bigfire is CityWalk's wood-fired American grill — the district's go-to for a more refined, date-night-style dinner without stepping all the way up to fine dining. The concept centres on open-flame cooking, with a warm, upscale-casual room that feels a notch above its themed neighbours.
The food and what to order
Cuisine: Wood-fired American grill — steaks, seafood and seasonal dishes cooked over open flame. Best bets: a wood-fired steak or fresh fish, and the tableside s'mores for dessert, which are a signature talking point. The cooking-over-fire theme runs through the menu, and the quality is among the best in CityWalk.
Price, who it suits and family-friendliness
Price: $$$ (higher-end for CityWalk). Family-friendly: Yes — children are welcome and there are options for them — but the atmosphere and price point lean toward couples and adults wanting a nicer meal. If you want CityWalk's best "proper dinner" short of Emeril's, this is it.
Reservations
Reservations: recommended. As one of CityWalk's nicer sit-down restaurants, Bigfire fills at peak dinner times, so booking ahead online is wise — particularly for couples wanting a specific time or for groups.
