   I have gone to the Fireside for many years, and always held a Xmas get together there. Since it moved it has not been the same and every year it gets farther away from it's origin. We liked it when it had comfy sofa's and chairs. That is lost now with the hard benches. Happy Hour was cut out this year which was a disappointment. And there is only one martini left on the menu from the four that I used to get. There is all new staff there now and none of them know how to make the old martini's and three of my friends had "This Old Thing" martini as they normally do and said it was terrible. We decided that we will be going some place else next year. It's really too bad as it used to be a great place to go with friends. I wish the new owners lots of luck!

   Our first visit to new location and enjoyed that the menu was similar and liked the dining rom area. Staff very pleasant.

   I used to frequent the Fireside in the old location and the food/drinks were always great. Since moving to the new location it seems that the service is a lot slower and the food was sub-par. I ordered a portabello mushroom burger that was comically small. It was supposed to come with beet and sweet potato chips and I got sweet potato fries. The burger tasted good, but the portion was too small, not worth what I paid. The drink list has always been good so I would probably go back just for drinks, but wouldn't be keen to recommend the food.

   On the whole, it was very nice. Quite chilly to start, but the maitre de was kind enough to turn the adjacent fireplace on. Would go again.

   Having been to the old Fireside on numerous occasions before it was demolished, we were looking forward to celebrating a birthday at the new Fireside. We were disappointed. Although the birthday girl said her fish and chips were the best she has ever had, the rest of the meals were sub-par. My wife and I had the steak, which was overcooked, tough (and we had to ask our server for steak knives), and tasteless. Another member of the party had the burger plate. The burger was crusted on one side and raw on the other. Although the starters were tasty, the nachos did not come with sour cream or salsa - just the nachos. The desserts were tasty, but the coffee was stone cold. I think our server was a new hire as she was not familiar with the menu, other than to say that they no longer served several items on the menu...they're cheap...bring them up to date. Someone (we assume the manager) asked how are meal was, and when we said we were disappointed, he left. The birthday girl received a free dessert, with a candle in it. Overall, a poor dining experience.

   Debated with husband to go here ( my choice) and I won, sadly......used to frequent here years ago at their old location and loved the food and Martini Mondays.. it was a cold evening and we were hungry, celebrating our anniversary and I was wanting their famous French Onion Soup ( main reason I wanted to go there). We get there, we are seated right in the middle of the dining area, not the greatest seating. We ordered our drinks which took 10 mins to arrive and then we ordered our meals, french onion soup of course for me and another app and main courses. 5 mins later the waiter comes back to say he thinks that there not be any french onion soup as he recalled "something being wrong with it a few days ago"....he comes back after another 5 mins to say there is none but not given a reason why. Meanwhile we already had our drinks and had ordered everything else. I was disappointed and then ordered the salmon. When our main entrees arrived, salmon with red roasted potatoes and asparagus and hubby ordered the fish and chips, we took our fist bite. The salmon was not fresh, still had skin on it and the potatoes were hard, hubby's fish was a dark fish, coated in soggy thick batter, I find Janes frozen battered fish much better than what my husband had, at least it is white haddock and lightly breaded. After $$$ for a couple of meals and with so many other well reviewed reataurants in the Halifax area, that will be my last visit to The Fireside! Sure far from what they used to be.

   All excellent, except the ambiance is not as cosy/ warm as the previous location. The bar area is really small. Food was fabulous, as before, especially the baked goat cheese. Yum. Disappointed you are not open for lunch!

   Everything was great about the restaurant and service itself, however we had a gift certificate that was not honoured because there are new owners. This is the first time we have had this experience and we really think this was not right. Wouldn't go back for that reason only.

    The waitress was fantastic! But, I felt as though we were rushed out the door, even though there were only 3 other tables being used. Our food came in about 7 minutes and I would have enjoyed staying for another glass of wine and more conversation, but we were all done after 30 minutes!
