    Fire never disappoints...breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, special-occasion meals. I love bringing people here, and my most recent brunch experience was great. I requested that my omelet be cooked soft, and it was. The hashbrowns were delicious as well. Our waitress (Jess, I believe) was attentive without being intrusive. My only disappointment was the cost of valet parking. I'll get over it.

    Everything we ordered was delicious, this kitchen does not miss. Comfortingly familiar dishes delivered with delightful measures of surprising upscaled flavors. Great food, great wine! But it was our server, Carlos, that made it truly a stand-out experience. He was incredibly personable, gracious and exemplarily poised from start to finish, offering guidance and showing personality when the moment called for it, and giving our large group space (while still ensuring we had what we needed) when our chatter was unbreachable. It was exactly the perfect balance that service in finer dining establishments requires. High praises!
