Just simple wood-fired cooking served in a hip urban space with sleek lines & an open kitchen. fire's staff is among the best in Cleveland!

And we do not save this place for special occasions only! The food and service is always exceptional. My favorite is the duck, so crispy and the sauce is subtle and wonderful. The menu changes seasonally and most of the products are locally sourced. The pork chop is giant always cooked perfectly. Another favorite is the mushroom arugula salad. I've... More

I have been to this restaurant on two different occassions. My first visit was excellent. Food and service was top-notch. This led to my second visit to the restaurant, which is quite disappointing. a. Service It was not sincere. The server had this fake smile, just went on reading the menu without actually having a conversation about the food. b.... More

I had just returned from a business trip and was craving a great dinner. From the time I arrived untilI left all of my needs were met . The bartender (Nick I think) was awesome. I had the stuffed banana peppers and the salame pizza with arugula. Both were amazing. Great meal.

I was in town with a coworker and this restaurant was recommended by our client. We went on a Tuesday night and the place about 3/4 full, which to me is a good sign since this can be a slower night for a restaurant, The food was good. I started with the ceasar salad which comes with 6 spoons of... More

Nice atmosphere, great food. My crispy duck confit was superb! Fire grilled items smelled good - can't wait to come back and try them!

The wife and I went here on the advice of a friend. Wow, it was fantastic. I had the Mongolian BBQ crepes which was an adventurous pick for me and they were outstanding. The crepes melded a couple of flavors and were just exquisite. The place was packed on a Sunday morning about 11:30 for brunch so I would recommend... More

Fire is a unique and delicious, upscale, Shaker Square favorite. Their salads and vegetables usually contain local items grown from farms near Cleveland. The service is friendly and there's ample staffing to take care of the diners. The atmosphere is modern yet romantic with a large open dining room and kitchen, a banquette, and bar tucked into the corner. The... More

Noit my favorite place, I think the fried chicken is marinated, which to me is just not right to do to fried chicken. It comes with waffles, which again is just not right. Many people love it however, just be warned if your a purist, you may be put off.

Four of us had a delightful dinner experience on New Year's Eve. From our wines by the glass - each excellent - to our stuffed banana pepper app to our salads, entrees and desserts, everything was masterfully prepared, lovingly presented and full of flavor. The lobster thermidor was a huge hit, as were the excellent filet mignon and the duck... More
