Come for the desserts — they might be some of the best you’ll find anywhere. Fireside Bar & Grill has the feel of an old pub or golf course clubhouse. We did have to wait a bit to be seated even though it wasn’t very busy, but once seated the atmosphere was quiet and the music selection was great—just enough to fill the room without being too loud. The Crab & Shrimp Basket was a highlight. It was served on top of homemade chips that were crispy and perfectly seasoned. The crab bites had a great crunch and paired really well with the aioli, and the cocktail sauce had a nice kick. The Chicken Parm Sandwich was big, but the chicken itself lacked flavor and was overpowered by the sauce. Toasting the bun a little would add some much-needed texture. The Chicken Salad Sandwich also needed more flavor, though the pretzel bun was a nice touch. The country-style green beans had onions and were heavy on pepper—adding ham or bacon would really make them pop. The desserts are where this place really separates itself. We tried the coconut cream pie, chocolate pie, and chocolate gateau, and they were outstanding. Simple presentation but packed with flavor, and the pie crust was light and flaky without overpowering the filling. Our server Kyra was excellent—very professional and attentive.

Got takeout so atmosphere I can only assume its like it was when I work here in 97. Neil and Patty makes you feel like family. The food reminds me of then so things never change. I recommend everyone to try it once, it wont disappoint! Mr. Sautée

Great fish dinner. The fish is flaky and fried golden brown. The fries are quite good as well. My only thing is I felt the portion wasn't enough. But taste wise it was a real winner. I've also had the chicken tenders which are a great meal as well. I'd always get the chicken tenders but the fish is so good i have to get it. Atmosphere is nice and quiet. They have some amazing desserts as well.
