So this was a nice find. Located off of Sashabaw rd. in a spot that, if you blink you'd drive right…read morepast it (we did), sits Fireside Kitchen. It's a nice, clean place that honestly could use a professional interior decorator, but the staff was friendly, and the food was absolutely delicious. We had a party of six and no one complained. The short rib pasta dish had a nice bite to it it was very flavorful and they didn't skimp on the short rib portion size. The steak sandwich was excellent and according to our friends, the pork chop was one of the best they've ever eaten. And while we didn't get to experience it, apparently there's a speakeasy in the basement. Cool! I imagine the locals in the area know about this place but if you are not a local ( we were not) it's worth the drive. Just don't blink when driving near Pelton road or you'll miss it.

We made a reservation here for dinner before a concert at Pine Knob. Very unassuming front the…read moreoutside, a beautiful interior with high ceilings and a very striking back bar. Our server was Bella, she couldn't be sweeter. She was very helpful when we had questions about the menu and accommodated our requests. We started with the bread and butters, herb butter and goat cheese butter, it was good. We were hoping to get the Burrata with peach, but it was sold out (our reservation was at 5:30, btw). We ordered cocktails including the Fireside Old Fashioned, which were good. I got the Pineapple Express, but I asked for tequila instead of Mezcal. It had a nice kick. We also had an espresso martini which was good and not made with anything creamy (in case you care). I got the ribeye French dip with fries (more like wedges and yummy!) The sandwich had Horseradish sauce, arugula, and pickled red onions. I enjoyed it without the au jus even. My boyfriend got 3 carne asada tacos, bigger than the average taco, and they were decent, not bad and I also realize that this is not a Mexican restaurant. He also got French onion soup, which he likes to get often. He said it was bland and not very cheesy. Our friends both ordered flat breads. Pepperoni and hot honey, and Prosciutto and melon, both really liked what they ordered. I wish we had time to go and check out the speakeasy downstairs, next time we come to Pine Knob, we will come extra early and check it out.

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.

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. The mac and cheese was a disappointment; the thick baked cheese and breadcrumb topping looked promising, but underneath it was dry and lacked the creamy cheese sauce we expected. Overall, there were a few bright spots, but the inconsistency kept it from being a place we'd rush back to.
