Fireside Kitchen

“First time here. Made a reservation to be safe. We got there a little early and there was plenty of seating. We chose to site the open bar. The food was very delicious. The two of us decided we like three of the appetizers and French onion soup. We both liked all three appetizers. She liked the French Onion I wasn’t a huge fan. To me was the flavor was too strong. The presentation of all the dishes were fantastic. The atmosphere was nice. Wasn’t overly noisy considering there is a very large bar. Speaking of the bar. The bar top has this really cool light built in underneath and was a nice touch. The only thing I didn’t care for was the bartender. There was only us two and one other couple at the bar and yet it took quite a while even to be greeted. The food came out ok but the bartender was rather quiet and didn’t really pay us much attention. The place wasn’t slammed so it wasn’t that. Maybe was having a bad night. Overall we had a pleasant experience and the food was delicious. My favorite was the pork belly. Yummm. Then dessert we had an apple butter cheese cake. It was delicious. I would have preferred to either have an option for caramel or add to the apple butter. Price for us both was about 100.00. Enjoy.”

“My absolute favorite bar/speakeasy. The vibes are always right, the cocktails are amazing, and the experience is consistently top-tier. Huge shoutout to Sebastian and Randy—easily the best bartenders. They’re friendly, talented, and somehow always know exactly what drink you’re in the mood for. This place feels like home every time I’m here.”

“The things and places you learn about on social media! After seeing the menu I thought this would be a cool to go to for my boyfriend's birthday. I enjoyed the chicken sliders with the tasty fries and the amazing apple pie cheesecake. The birthday boy enjoyed the drinks downstairs. We got there about 5:15 and our reservations were at 7:15 so we went downstairs to enjoy and check that out. Our table ended up being available about 25 minutes sooner which was ok since we were about ready to enjoy the main course.”

“The restaurant is smaller than expected on the outside. The overall aesthetic is really nice. It’s cozy and relaxing. We went on a Friday night and it was busy. I would recommend calling ahead to make reservations, again given the size. Staff were all friendly and helpful. For drinks I tried Lime in the coconut and if you like coconut I would recommend it. It was tasty. For starters we had prosciutto flatbread and it was fantastic. Highly recommend. Dinner I had the roasted chicken with mashed potatoes. It was good overall. I wish the potatoes had been a creamer consistency. They were dense. My boyfriend ordered the steak with chimichurri and steak fries. This was also okay. The steak came out an under medium rare, and the fries were good. The chimichurri itself was very garlic forward and overpowered the steak. We would go back and try other things next time.”

“Fireside Kitchen has a really nice vibe, cozy and stylish with great ambiance. We started with the crab cake appetizer. It was okay and came out room temp, which made it kind of underwhelming. Husband ordered the stuffed sweet potato entrée which was actually really good, probably the HIGHLIGHT of the meal. I had the pork tomahawk cooked medium, but it was tough and totally lacking in flavor. I only managed two bites. We ordered a Glenfiddich 12 neat, which is usually a solid choice, but it felt overpriced for the location. Our server was very kind and attentive, which made the experience better. After dinner, we found the speakeasy downstairs and that was definitely the best part of the night. Took us about 10 minutes to find the hidden doorbell (kind of like an escape room), but once inside, the vibe was amazing. The bartender was great, and we enjoyed a double poor of Wooven Honor neat and an Irish whiskey flight . Overall, Fireside has a lot going for it with the ambiance and speakeasy, but the food and drink pricing could use some improvement.”
