    Cesar Charred Caesar Salad
    Patricia W.

    I was really hoping to like this place. We ordered drinks (really good and fresh tasting). The chowder isn't for me, it has carrots and red bell peppers in it and more of a fish flavor than clam. Cesar salad was delicious. I ordered the 8oz filet. The presentation is beautiful, but you should be able to cut a filet like butter and I was not able to with this one. It was tough and chewy. Husband had the same issue with his ribeye. The sides were good. The worst part of the meal was our service. I watched our waitress look at us several times but never came over after our food was served. She was going to all of her other tables, but not us. We ultimately ended up flagging another server to get our check. I'm glad we tried but will not be returning.

    We came here as it was close to the neighborhood. There weren't many people, only one large group, at the time we went. We were able to get our order in quickly - a filet mignon, ribeye, mashed potatoes, and mushroom risotto. The steaks were properly cooked and came out reasonably quick. The steaks were decent. I did enjoy the mushroom risotto the most. Overall, it's a good local spot to get some food.

    6oz Filet Mignon

    Started off a little rough but by the time we left we were all happy, satisfied and stuffed! Our party of 5 was here to celebrate my son's 18th birthday, service was slow but come to find out Dad and son team (Daniel/Diego) were working the whole place themselves tonight. Since Diego was playing multiple roles things took a little longer and our order had one incorrect item which they fixed right away. Despite the wait- the food is spectacular! Mashed potatoes are heavenly, the 6oz filet was cooked to perfection and topped with herbed butter which was fabulous! Lamb chops were delicious and the flat iron steak was also a hit for the table. I loved the dark wood and cozy atmosphere, needless to say this place deserves a visit and your support!

    Promotion

    We've been here a few times. I always think the steak is amazing. This time around we came for their anniversary promotion. Unfortunately, they stated no where on the promotion that it was only one free entree per PARTY. I came with my fiance for a date night and we were both expecting to get a free entree (pictures posted in this review) and splurge on drinks and desserts, so we were a bit bummed to find our server telling us it's only one entree per table. Please make this apparent next time you want to bring in customers :( We are forgoing any future visits because it was clear you wanted to get customers in without being completely forthcoming and honest. On an additional note: the bread was stale, and the benches for the table flip up if you sit on the edge. I would highly recommend drilling them in so this isn't an issue. My partner got the free salmon and I got the filet mignon, which has always been great to me.

    Dena was the best! The service was amazing and that alone was worth coming here. Drinks were really good and she was able to custom them for us. Steak was good and my wife loved the salmon.

    Coconut shrimp that are toddler was thrilled with

    I called ahead (around 4 p.m.) and made a reservation for 8 p.m. The hostess was super friendly and accommodating, especially since we needed a booth on short notice. Although it was a Wednesday night, I was a little surprised that there was only one table occupied when we arrived, but it made for a nice, intimate atmosphere. We ordered the porterhouse steak, the ribeye steak, mushroom risotto, shrimp scampi with pasta, wedge salad, steak bites, coconut shrimp, and a couple of cocktails. My husband really enjoyed the smoked whiskey cocktail he ordered, and we all appreciated the presentation at our table. The food was delicious, very flavorful, and the steaks were cooked perfectly (we like ours medium rare). They did it just right. Our hostess and server, Grace, was exceptional--attentive, kind, and graceful, which is exactly what you want when dining out. At the end of our evening, my husband overheard her taking a call for a takeout order. The customer couldn't pick it up because they had a flat tire, and Grace offered to deliver it to them, which made us appreciate her and the restaurant even more. Grace also took the time to chat with our 20-month-old toddler, who was happily babbling away, showing genuine compassion and kindness. I can't say enough nice things about Grace; she was wonderful, and her service alone ensured that we'll most definitely be returning.

    Ribeye

    Pretty bad. Medium Rare ribeyes were RAW. Poor seasoning. All we could taste was char. Place was empty on a Wednesday Night. Now I know why. Service was very slow.

    TL:DR Truly decadent, and gourmet entrees with delightfully refreshing dessert…read more I had to come back and partake of the good food at this place after attending a yelp sponsored event, and to validate myself for not just enjoying the perks of an elite but truthfully getting down to the roots of why I write these reviews in the first place which is to try and highlight the best of places and also provide the constructive criticism when needed. Fortunately I have no criticism for this restaurant. My in-laws were in town and wanted to treat my wife and I to a delicious pre anniversary dinner. I immediately remembered my first experience here and decided that this was important enough to warrant the visit from North Portland. Both my in-laws and my wife had the steak bites which were properly marinated and savorful in their own right. And I had the ribeye steak which was even better heightened in terms of flavor. My general rule when it comes to steak or high quality meat which is very hard to master is that one, the marinade or seasoning should not overpower the dish and two, I should not need to add any additional salt or pepper to assist the steaks flavor profile unless I truly want to taste more of it. The steak bites and the ribeye were a perfect blend of savory and richness. The ribeye was somehow better than the steak bites even if it was a bite more pricey. Needless to say from the pork and shrimp egg rolls, the delicious cocktails, the steak and our refreshing dessert everything was thoughtful and had purpose behind it. As for the restaurant itself and the service both were pleasant. I had no issue with the restaurant ambiance or with the servers they were attentive and the food came out in a reasonable time. Overall a pleasant experience.

For the past few months or possibly more, there is a server/closing-manager (male Caucasian, glasses, ponytail) who only reluctantly provides the HH menu. About two months ago, I asked when HH started, and he said in 7 minutes (i.e., it was 9:53pm). I asked how much I'd save on the beer I was contemplating if I waited for 7 minutes, and he said a dollar or two, so I told him I'd wait until then to place my order. It seemed like a pretty light day, yet he took a full 20+ minutes to come take our order -- it felt like he was punishing me. Last night, it was 10:10pm and I asked if there was a HH menu. He said "not yet." I thought he meant that they hadn't yet been published, but when I went to the bar to say hi to someone I know, I saw a HH menu already on the bar. I'd already ordered off the regular menu, and chose to not change to something on the HH hour just to avoid the conflict. I have no idea what is inspiring this behavior. Perhaps people who order off HH menus don't tip well? In any case, this new HH attitude has definitely dampened my enthusiasm for Fireside. Which is sad since it still has a great tap list and menu.

We got some drinks and started off with their Caesar salad and the fried polenta. The Caesar was good, but I wished we had more leaves for the price. The polenta fries were very tasty, not amaaaazing and super salty. They didn't need the blue cheese butter dip at all. For dinner we tried the smoked salmon squid ink pasta and the cioppino. The cioppino was alright, one perk was that the shellfish was already pulled out of the shell, and had a lot of small pieces of squid but I would have preferred bigger squid pieces. And more bread to go with it. The smoked salmon pasta was very rich and heavy. It was good but it too benefited from some bread to go with all that savory salty goodness. Service was also okay, nothing special. We to flag down staff to get more bread. Overall, not amazing, not terrible. Decarli fell short of my expectations. There are plenty of other amazing Italian places in Portland that would rather make the trip out for.

As of right now, it sits at number one for my dad and a few of my friends alike. For me? I'm not ready to crown it just yet. I need a few more visits, a few more comparisons against my usual haunts. But it's up there. No question. When I first moved to Portland almost a year ago, this was one of the spots that kept coming up. Highly recommended, spoken about with a kind of confidence that usually means it's either overhyped or the real deal. We went for Mother's Day. Then again for Father's Day. My parents loved it -- the kind of love that doesn't need explanation -- and honestly, I get it. The service is immaculate. Thoughtful, attentive, but never hovering. You feel taken care of in a way that's increasingly rare -- like the front of house actually wants you to have a good time, not just turn the table. There's a real sense of pride in what they're doing. The team feels aligned, almost symbiotic. Front of house lifting up back of house, back of house delivering in a way that makes that support feel earned. Whether that relationship is perfect behind the scenes or not, it reads as seamless from the outside. And the food -- it's just excellent. Cooked perfectly, consistently, without unnecessary theatrics. No foams, no gels, no overworked plating trying to prove something. Just honest, confident cooking over fire. The kind of food that reminds you how good simple things can be when they're done right. It's indulgent in the best way. The kind of meal that might even tempt a few vegans back to the dark side -- at least for a night. It's not cheap. Let's be clear about that. I don't go here casually, and I'm not pretending I do. Thanks, Mom and Dad. But it's the kind of place that's worth saving up for -- not just for the food, but for the experience. For some people, this might be a random Wednesday night. For most of us, it's something you plan for. And when you do, it delivers. It's special without making a big deal about being special. And that's exactly why it works.
