The scratch food is AMAZING! We had Rachel as our server, and was delighted! She's responsive and friendly. And their whole staff was a well oiled machine! And, great wine!

This is one of my favorite restaurants. I've tried there, Hank Steak, Filet of Beef Medallion, Pork Chops, Shrimp and Lobster rigatoni, Vodka pasta, Meatballs, and shrimp and avocado salad. Everything is 5 stars. Bathrooms are very clean and the decor is beautiful. Lots of parking because across the street is free parking lot that is covered in case it rains. Servers are very knowledgeable and make great suggestions. Family friendly and they have a full bar.

Food was good and our server was good, but the hostess was quite rude to my father. My family and I were patiently waiting 10-15 minutes after our reservation was supposed to be (we were given the classic 'we have some tables finishing up desert who still have their menus out' by the hostess when we got there). Not a big deal, but there's not much of a waiting area which is slightly annoying.
However, when we noticed people who were early to their reservations get seated before us, naturally my dad calmly asked why a 6:45 reservation was getting a seat at 6:30 when our reservation was for 6:15. The hostess was completely dismissive and gave a snarky response about how since they were a five top and we were a three top, they were able to be accommodated at a larger table. (When we did finally got seated, they were at a relatively small booth that the three of us had sat at before)
While we continued to wait in total silence, the hostess started making comments under her breath, but loud enough to hear, like "I'm not doing this" and had a generally ugly attitude. When we finally were told our table was ready, she didn't apologize for the wait but gave us a really loud and condescending "Thank you!" that didn't make any sense- thank you for what? Lol. Kind of a weirdo move, especially for a hostess.
In her defense, it seemed like she had a LOT going on, and it seemed like she was doing a good job multi-tasking, but as a hostess, you can do all the carry-out orders, answer the phone, enter people's table info, etc., but if you're a jerk to customers, you're automatically bad at your job.
It was a less than ideal start to my mother's birthday dinner.

Had an 11 person brunch here and what a gem! Rarely do you “discover” a new place that is 10/10! Variety was amazing, every dish was perfect, fresh ingredients, innovative. I can’t say enough about it!
We have been here a few times now, and it has never been disappointing.

Outstanding service, attention to detail, impeccably delicious dishes up and down the menu, the list could go on! Come here once and you'll be hooked for life.
Dietary restrictions: My sister is dairy and gluten free. This restaurant is one of her favorites because of how accommodating they are.
Kid-friendliness: Kid-friendly with a kids' menu. Accommodating for dietary restrictions.
We have been coming here for a few years and have enjoyed it very much. Service is always spectacular! We have been getting used to the new management change, however they crossed the line when I found out they no longer make risotto as a side. The kitchen only makes enough for the arancini balls. So very very disappointing I can not order risotto with my meal any more

Many places claim to have great Italian cuisine, but in reality many are subpar and met with a disappointment - Fire+Wine has excellent food with a variety of different flavors that compliment each other - everything tastes fresh and homemade, the service has been very professional and friendly, bringing the atmosphere and the overall feel to a different level when it comes to expectations for a higher quality restaurant. I come from an Italian/Croatian background, and have always looked for places that can mimic the experience I had while living abroad - Fire+Wine - definitely fulfills that experience that I will continue to enjoy time and time again. Thank you.
Experience at the host stand was odd. Service was fine, a little bit slow…wasn’t checked on much. Kinda disappointed by the food…might try again but wouldn’t be sad if I didn’t

Don’t go here unless you have very flexible plans.
They don’t take reservations, but have a “priority call ahead system” where they ask for a name and time of arrival.
We arrived at the specific time called ahead for, and were told to wait just a moment.
25 minutes later we were told there would still be a wait due to an error when checking us in. Sadly, we had a subsequent reservations later that we would have been late for had we waited any longer.
While we totally understand things happen, they really need to move to traditional reservations like everyone else.
