| - This is a very belated valentine's day review, but better late than never, right?
Fire is a place I had been to for brunch a few times and loved it, but finally got to try out for dinner this time.
Overall the experience was really nice. The service is always excellent, with the chef/owner greeting each table every time I've been there. That matters, and he clearly knows. The decor and ambiance is warm, lively, and inviting. Its a nice and elegant place that still makes you feel comfortable and at home.
The food was a bit underwhelming though. I ordered the moroccan hot fish which was good but just good- 3 stars. It wasn't bursting with flavors and the description was far more interesting than the delivery, unfortunately. My boyfriend loved his dish, the goat cheese agnolotti with added braised local lamb, which left me with some real food envy after trying a couple bites.
To me, Fire is a solid and reliable place to take a date, your parents, or friends from out of town. It didn't blow me away this time around, but its a place you can never really go wrong.
..and if nothing else, you must come for the sticky buns at brunch. I think about them (too) often.
