    Overall it was good. Only thing they had a valentines day special that was not mentioned when I made reservations. I would have loved to have ordered it. Awh by the way, I requested a dozen roses but I did not get them. Outside of that we were satisfied and will definitely go back.

    My wife and I, celebrated Valentine's Day at the lovely Fire Lake Grill House & Cocktail Bar. The food, service (waiter and management), ambience, and live entertainment (Friday Night) were all on point and appreciated. We are looking forward to renting the upstairs for an upcoming event. My wife enjoyed the the restaurant so much. Thank you

    Impeccable service. Had Restaurant Week lunch. Great chicken noodle soup with winter veggies. Salmon and risotto excellent and nice, smaller lunch size. Chocolate chip cookie with ice cream a great finish. A birthday at the table, so got a cheesecake with cherry compote!

    Decent dining room in terms of space and decor. Mediocre food and service. The charcuterie board is well stocked and very good. The best salad is mostly greens. The bbq chicken flatbread is good. Decent drinks list.
