I met up with friends at this cozy spot on a chilly damp day. The ambience is warm and the staff is very friendly and professional. The French dip sandwich was delicious.

It’s been a while since I had been to Fireside. This time we sat on the patio. I have a dog. It was warm enough and the sun was shining. The covered heated area is a good addition and hope they keep it. The food was delicious. We ordered starters and even took some home. The drinks were nice and my mom had the mule and really enjoyed it. The staff was super nice, helpful, got my dog a bowl of water without asking and that’s how you know you’re at the right spot. Can’t wait to return.

If you’re wandering the wild, misty streets of Portland and thinking, “I could really go for a burger that makes me weep with joy and crab cakes that make me question my life choices (in a good way),” then Fireside is your new spirit animal. We sat at the bar—because we’re fancy like that—and were immediately treated like royalty who’d traded their crowns for cold craft beer and impeccable service. My smash burger came out so perfectly crisped and juicy that I briefly blacked out and saw my childhood flash before my eyes. She got the crab cakes, which were so fresh I’m pretty sure a crab just clocked out in the back and high-fived the chef. The beer? Cold enough to give a snowman frostbite and good enough to make you forget all the IPAs you pretended to like in the past. 10/10 would recommend. Come for the food, stay for the vibe, and maybe leave with a new tattoo and a flannel shirt you didn’t know you needed.

Fireside is an absolute gem, exuding warmth and romance in every corner. From the moment you step inside, the stunning decor transports you into a rich tapestry of Portland’s history. The giant fireplace is the heart of the space, casting a cozy glow that makes for the perfect intimate dining experience. Every detail, from the elegant light fixtures to the inviting nooks, adds to the ambiance, making it an ideal spot for a romantic evening. The bartenders are nothing short of spectacular, skillfully crafting any drink you can dream up with precision and charm. As for the food, it’s simply outstanding. Each dish arrives piping hot, bursting with flavor, and leaving a lasting impression. What makes Fireside even more special for us is that it was the setting of our very first date night. Since then, we’ve returned at least four times, and our romance is still very new and full of excitement. Every visit feels like coming home, warm, familiar, and incredibly special. Fireside isn’t just a restaurant for us; it’s part of our love story. We’ll definitely be back again and again!

All staff were so friendly and loved the vibe of the place. I for and outdoor seating available. Loved how the windows opened entirely to have a feel of sitting outside without actually sitting outside. Reservation made online, was super easy and made the wait even shorter to get a table once we got there. My lettuce wrapped burger was AMAZING and the fries were perfectly salty and crispy.

A cozy and trendy place to get food! The mulled cider is to die for! Restaurant is located on a street full of shops which is convenient for a weekend or night out. Food is delicious. They also have a great cocktail menu that includes mocktails.
