The bar is a great spot to hang out, and the overall vibe is really cool. The servers were all very friendly. They seemed pretty new and didn't know the menu inside and out yet, but everyone was pleasant and eager to help. One thing that caught my attention was seeing the cook hanging out near the bar instead of in the kitchen--kind of odd, but not a big deal. The food was excellent. The salmon was cooked perfectly, the short rib pasta was outstanding, and the pork belly appetizer was absolutely delicious and a great way to start the meal. It's a little more expensive than most places around here, but the quality of the food makes it worth it. Overall, Fireside Kitchen is a great addition to the area, and we'll definitely be back.

It was really nice to be sectioned off from the rest of the restaurant and it was pretty cool to sit inside of this vault. Our server was great! He kept coming by cracking jokes and making sure that we had enough to drink. The Tilefish dish I had was okay. It was on special that night and I was expecting it to be some big showing for the market price it was listed at. The piece was pretty small, rice was mushy, and the sauce had no flavor to it really. The fish was great though, so the main part of the dish was great at least! I had multiple cocktails, one being an espresso martini which was excellent! Overall a great place though. Be careful walking to the bathroom though, that glass floor where people dining below you can look up at you is pretty bizarre.

You can have dinner inside the room that used to be the vault. In the downstairs bathroom, the wall is safety deposit boxes. The upstairs is beautiful and light. The downstairs has a bit of a dungeon vibe and the table we had there was like a picnic table with benches I stead of chairs. The benches were uncomfortable and everyone's purses kept falling off. The service was decent and our server was knowledgeable about the specials and menu in general. The food and drinks were hit or miss. The burgers, truffle fries, and oysters were a hit. The beet salad was bland. The espresso martini was pretty but did not impress, other drinks like the lemon drops were pretty good.

As for what to eat, I HIGHLY recommend trying a "Boxty" if you haven't had one before--they are Irish potato pancakes with fillings. The corned beef one was delicious--the corned beef was very finely chopped and paired well with the garlic aioli!

Generous pour of wine for my friend on her 96th birthday. Server was pleasant and congratulated her but no special birthday anything.

The standout side was the potato salad--it was fresh, crunchy, and lightly dressed, which was a nice change from the typical mayo-heavy version. The cornbread was decent.
