Excellent place to eat. We went this time for our anniversary and it didn't fail to meet our expectations. We both had the Farm to Table 3 course dinner and loved the innovative offerings. I had the Buttermilk Savoy Cabbage to start, the wonderful Smoked Short Ribs (so tender) & the Poached Pear for dessert. Our server Julie, was helpful and attentive. Setting wonderful as always. So glad this wonderful restaurant is in our neighbourhood
I would strongly recommend Fireside Grill for happy hour. It was fabulous!
Great food & drinks for the price. You also felt very safe from others dining around you with the dividers they have set up between tables.
Our courses for brunch were large, so we both took boxes of food to eat later! The service was perfect!
Great good, excellent service!
We were outside where the noise level was fine- the accoustics inside are not so good, too noisy
Our server Jenny was fantastic! Good was good too.
Our Tuna tacos were amazing! And our waiter James was great!
Enjoyed our dinner
I had scallops and pork belly which was really good. Pretty noisy was only complaint.
Our server was attentive and helpful. Only drawback was a dessert that was slightly overdone. In saying that, I'd order the whole meal again.
Great place to eat, wonderful waitress we had. Great food and drinks.
This is one of the best resturants in Victoria. Great location. Atmosphere is fantastic with several fireplaces to sit next to. They recently added dividers between the tables to improve health and it keeps any noise in the restaurant to a minimum. The food is fantastic and the service staff awesome. I try something different from the menu every time we dine here. All the menu items are spectacular.
I have never had a bad experience at the Fireside Grill. It is my most favorite restaurant on Southern Vancouver Island and the food is amazing. Compliments to your chef.
I had lunch with two friends. The server was really nice and his service was excellent. The food was rated excellent by my two friends. I had the tacos and I would rate them as very good. Could have used a bit more spice. The sidesalad was excellent.
Overall, everything was great.
I took 4 friends to lunch at the Fireside Grill and had an excellent time.
Our only complaint was that the room was a bit chilly, but otherwise we were very satisfied with our experience at the Fireside!
Very friendly staff. Good separation between tables. Well done.

The only thing worth mentioning was that the gravy on our steaks was too salty. Perhaps the gravy could be served separately. Otherwise everything else was perfectly enjoyable.

As usual, we were very satisfied with our experience. We were greeted and welcomed to the restaurant, seated promptly and our waitress arrived soon after to take our beverage order. She was friendly, pleasant and professional. Our meals arrived in an appropriate amount of time, and we both enjoyed what we had ordered. We were not rushed, and had several other staff members stop at our table to refill water and coffee, ensure everything was as we wished. We consider Fireside to be our neighbourhood gem!
