Fireside Grill has great food, knowledgeable and friendly staff, wonderful wine list, the best patio and what an interior. That makes it five stars. On a sunny day the patio is amazing but in the cold of winter that great room has no comparison. The local, seasonal ingredients make the food so flavourful too.
Went there for Mother’s Day brunch on Sunday. Everything was perfect.. a vast variety of delicious foods, including an omelette station and a great selection of desserts. The staff and service was excellent as well. Attentive but not overbearing. I have been to many places for brunch but Fireside, in my opinion, goes over and above. Well done!!
We made a reservation but it was not needed. Friendly service and the food was good. Limited brunch menu (compared to other places) but surely something for everyone to enjoy. Caesar was extra-pickly therefore delicious.
Lovely setting, huge menu, professional service. The venue is really very good, inside and out. The food is dependable, there’s definitely something for everyone. They accommodate groups and have ample parking on the beautiful property.
I’ve had their tuna poke bowl before, and it was excellent, really very delicious and healthy. The Tuna-wonton chip appetizer is really creative, and their butternut squash soup is a winner.
Recently, I tried a Lobster & Prawn Roll, which I would not order again. The lobster was not good texture and salty, but what should I expect for $25 - my bad.
The flavourings were great though, maybe better done with nice plump, Argentine shrimp - I would have that over and over.
It’s a nice small portion size, good for ladies lunch or for sharing when couples go out.
Richness defined
If you like rich foods Fireside Grill is a good place to check out. There are many dishes with creams, battered, or well covered in oil. I prefer coming for the buffet as one can get some leaner items but the general menu is taste.
We had a very nice Brunch here this past weekend. The Mushroom Benny and the Classic Benny were delicious. Our server was friendly and gave us excellent service. The only complaint is that it gets very noisy when the room is full but everything else was great.
Great evening at a beautiful venue, excellent service. The poke bowl had beautiful presentation and excellent flavours...but it was on a bed of semi-shredded cabbage (rather than rice) with an overly crispy rice patty that was difficult to eat; replace the green cabbage with cooked rice and the crispy rice with edamame and it would be perfection. The lamb ragu pasta was tasty, but there was a lot of oil left at the bottom of the bowl. Also, odd that the wine list is on the back of the large laminated menu - better to have it separate, with wines by the glass included. Could be awesome, just need a few tweaks!
Ordered the Poke bowl with Ahi tuna and lobster/shrimp roll for lunch. The Poke Bowl was very fresh and light, would recommend. The roll was a little on the small side and was too saucy. It was very nice sitting out on the patio for a sunny lunch!
Our server was outstanding and we appreciated her offering to top up our glasses and bringing fresh cutlery for the second course. We had a bottle of the OKV house red and it was great even though it was 2021 vintage. We we’re pleasantly surprised.
We shared the fixed price menu with appetizer, entree and dessert. Everything we tried was excellent except my cabbage entree which seemed undercooked. It was cooked al denté and so it was challenging to cut with my dinner knife (like a butter knife). Also it was just warm and I thought it would have benefited greatly from being served warmer or hot and more cooked than less. We stop by here occasionally, but this is the first time I’ve taken the time to photograph our plates before diving in!
Very good. We were not struck on the cabbage dish, but otherwise everything else was amazing. The house red wine is very good. We had a lovely dinner.
I went to fireside grill for an early dinner at 4:00 p.m.
It was Thanksgiving dinner and when I phoned they weren't able to take a reservation they were all booked up. Upon arriving we were seated immediately. Such great service for not having a reservation. Very very delicious appetizer it was a prawn dynamite roll's, it was absolutely delicious and I could not wait for the Thanksgiving dinner.
The presentation of the meal was exhilarating and very decorative, the food was amazing with lots of great flavor.
There was only one item missing to pair with this meal, there was no dinner roll or even a Yorkshire pudding.
Definitely something if I was the chef that I would have had included in the meal. Ended up having dessert which was pumpkin pie and was enjoyable.
I will go back to Fireside grill.

The ambiance is rustic but memorable. The scenery outside is beautiful! Cannot wait for summer what it would look like. Service is phenomenal!
