The Fireplace is a lovely restaurant - good food, good wine list (not cheap), good service & we really enjoy the ambiance. Always interesting to watch the chefs preparing, cooking & plating the dishes in the open kitchen using nothing but the two wood fired ovens. Unfortunately, there was a large group table just near us who were very noisy. Ours was a small table of 3 and we struggled all through the evening due to the noise from the rowdy group.

The food was very average. More like only ok home cooked food. The kitchen area is not ventilated - needs more exhaustion because the smoke/cooking smells belches into the restaurant. I actually felt a little sick. Sorry to say because the staff were so great.

There were the confusion with our wine order. We have ordered a bottle of wine, but found out later that we were charged by the glass. Then when we asked for couple of more glasses of wine, we were charged by the full bottle. Ended up being very expensive.

As the “Signature restaurant” at the intercontinentaal resort, I would have expected the staff to be more on it. But they were not great, service was painfully slow for how busy the place wasn’t. Food was good, not amazing. But overall it was fine.

Usually one of our favourite restaurants but sadly with a party of 9 this was disappointing. The food was slow, it arrived cold and the mains were disappointing.
