| - Fire on the East side has great ambiance, excellent service (split up bills for a group of 8 people, AND didn't add the mandatory 15% on each bill that comes with dining with groups of 6+!). The mimosas were excellent, they had banana bread as a complimentary starter. This place has everything going for it, except for the brunch dish I ordered itself.
I ordered the blackened chicken omelette, wanting something more flavourful and spicy, but there was nothing "blackened" about the chicken. It tasted like those pre-cut, precooked strips of chicken you get at the grocery store. If the chicken WAS blackened, the other ingredients would have complemented it quite nicely, but they only served to make my omelette more bland. The walnut side salad had no walnuts, and almost no dressing, but tasted fine after I asked for more dressing on the side. The fries were crisp golden perfection, my favourite part of this meal.
Maybe this non-blackened blackened chicken mishap was a one off, I'll probably go back another time because I really want to like it.
