"Highly recommended: we have been several times for lunch, but never for dinner. \n\nThe staff is consistently friendly and gracious, and the kitchen has been consistently excellent. Lunch service is light: we have never had to wait even though the house consists of a server and a gent running the kitchen, and as best we can tell, that's it. The server advised us that they up-staff pretty dramatically for evening service. \n\nThe Arancini look like they should be dense little balls of croquette, but instead they are wonderfully light and airy. The butter sauce goes with them nicely, and the bacon is a fun addition.\n\nThe crab and bacon hush puppies are served with a Cajun cream foam that covers lovely bacon and corn. Looking at them in cross-section, you would presume that you're about to bite into a mess of heavy bread but instead you are delighted to find every bite is unequivocally crabby without being over done.\n\nThe wedge salad is enough for three people.\n\nThe chicken nachos are delicious. The portion is large enough to provide a full meal for two, and appetizers for five or six.\n\nThere are 20+ draughts with a broad and varied selection, and there is a perfectly reasonable wine selection matched to the fare. Fireside is not a cocktail bar. \n\nWe haven't tried all of the sandwiches on the menu, but have been quite pleased with the ones we have. \n\nPeruse the menu before you take your kids -- I think that many kids would find plenty to suit them, but not all."^^ .
