    Very disappointed in the food this year for Thanksgiving. Awful salad—shaved Brussels sprouts and cabbage. Gritty with very little flavor. What’s wrong with a traditional salad? The turkey was very dry with skin and bones mixed in—awful quality. Even the cranberry side was poorly done—shaved with orange maybe? And only about 1/4 cup. Finally—dessert was pumpkin cheesecake—not even pumpkin pie! It was okay but not pie! Worst meal there we’ve had for Thanksgiving—and we go every year. Oh—and the price was $84 pp—outrageous for such poor quality of food!

    Hard to go wrong with a lovely fall day on the water at the charming inn at the village on the bay. Our waiter was outstanding, charming and efficient and the food was excellent. Probably one of the best meals I've had there. I would recommend brunch to anyone visiting the area. The menu was more extensive than I had expected and offered something for every taste. It was a delightful experience.

    Ambience and location of Fireside has always been a draw for us. This time what stood out as truly exceptional was the service provided by Jonathan. He may possibly be the most personable and proficient food service professional we’ve experienced… anywhere. So well done and many thanks to Jonathan. He elevates this venue to a level far above expectations.

    Our server, while pleasant, seemed as if she had a plane to catch and couldn’t wait to progress us through the stages of our meal, even though the restaurant wasn’t crowded, and it wasn’t late. The entrees were limited, and the food was not prepared well, (my ‘tenderloin’ was anything but), and my wife’s salmon was over cooked and bland. Also, all of the seafood dishes and salads had bacon in them, which does not work for my spouse, who has a pronounced meat allergy. The atmosphere and ambience of the Fireside are still impressive, it’s just too bad that the quality of food, and in our case service, did not live up to the cost.

    Some food problems that evening. The lentils under the salmon were crunchy. The salmon was very good. The three scallops had grit and probably should heve been washed. The sauced quinoa under the scallops was very salty. Too much tarragon in the salad, but that is personal preference. Very nice surroundings with some historical photos and the wait staff was efficient and friendly.

    They asked if this was a special occasion, it was my wife's birthday. Not a single mention of the birthday. Also I specifically asked for a fireplace table and they were unable to comply. Overall,we enjoy eating there but it would be nice if they honored requests.
