Fireside

Cute restaurant, friendly staff. Ordered spinach & artichoke dip which was well done with crispy chips. The grilled Brussels sprouts were good. The small plate menu, offered a meat dish of sliced ribeye, and another cut of steak. Wasn't crazy about the sauce it was cooked in.

I am a huge fan of a good French Dip, and when this one crossed my path, I had to try it. It worked well, as the brunch item I needed, but a wise man once told me to, “…try everything twice. Once to say you did, and twice to make sure you liked it.”. Today I went back for my second French dip at this place, and I will say; it is almost a three hour drive, but if I am in that area, I will go for a third! They handle my biggest issue with a dip by using real bread that can actually soak up some au jus and still have structure. A fair amount of horseradish and pretty wonderful fries round out the classic sandwich. The three other people I have been there with have (all ordered different items) also expressed enjoyment, but it is only fair to speak for myself. This is one of the better options if you are walking the Knob Hill area. Prices are fair, service is good, food is excellent, and, shjt, how many albums did I buy in that space when it as Music Millennium? Boy those were the days… It IS Very Portland, in a charming way. Go there. Reservations recommended during normal busy hours.

A nice place to go for a quick happy hour and chill. We ordered a few things to share and had a couple of drinks as well. Their sliders and fries were a must order. The Brussel sprouts portion was generous. I did enjoy their whiskey sour and expresso martini.

Would definitely eat here again! Worth the wait-I recommend making reservations. Our server, Kristin, was awesome and gave us great recommendations. Don’t miss the Brussel Sprouts-some of the best we have tasted!

The food was amazing. I sat at the bar and had a great experience. Steven was really great. While he was multitasking he asked how my food was. I really appreciate the two bite check in; This made me feel so cared for. The other bartender also made me fresh coffee to go with my desert. Overall great food and great service.
