    Generous serving of mussels for the price, with a nicely seasoned broth and bread perfect for dipping. We also enjoyed the olive oil cake with candied rosemary - the piece was more than big enough for two.

    First time dining here and it was wonderful! The outdoor seating in the covered sidewalk area was totally fabulous. Love their imaginative mocktails and the food was delicious and thoughtful - I had a beyond burger which is not so common these days so I was extra appreciative. Very nice appetizers to share and friendly wait staff. Fireside is Fabulous!
