The Fireside Restaurant 1 Heron Road, Port Ludlow, WA 98365

"Tiny portions. $39.00 for three course prime rib dinner. NOT !!! Thin sliced meat like you would expect on a sandwich. 5 small carrots and even smaller potato bites. Came with a tiny salad and dessert as well. After dinner we went home and got something to eat."

"As long time owners in the adjoining condo community, we desperately wish The Fireside would be consistently great. No such luck. We have memories of tragically bad experiences 15 years ago, then an amazing and welcomed recovery we hoped would be the new normal. Just this weekend we took another family and our high hopes, and were once again sadly disappointed. The service was friendly but inattentive. I'm not sure if they're chronically understaffed or morale is low, or both. Our server was civil but not overtly friendly. The restaurant was busy but not full and things took an inordinately long time to come out. Everything from drinks to food. Our dining experience for four adults and four younger teens was 2.5 hours. At one point toward the end of our meal drinks took 15 minutes to come out. "Sorry, the bartender got backed up". Piles of empty plates and glasses sat on our table, some never cleared by the time we left. We found ourselves stacking and preparing the dishes for the bus person in an effort to expedite the process. The food was just okay. Some dishes were better than others and none were bad, like in the past. The Fireside is back to being a mediocre experience for dinner and certainly overpriced. The deserts were pretty good and we've had good luck with happy hour outside on the deck. Maybe we'll try happy hour again with hopes it hasn't suffered the same disappointing decline."

"Service fantastic. Delicious food. Clam chowder one of the best we have had. Both had Mai Tai, very good and strong, not skimpy on the liquor. We had their burger for dinner, good Quality meat."

"This place never fails to amaze us. We've been twice and both times, our food was incredible. Halibut was cooked perfectly, everything actually seasoned well. Outdoor seating is always the way to go unless it's freezing out. The food is always delicious and although it can be mildly pricey, meals are always fresh and ever-changing/diverse. They have a great assortment of wines to choose from and the place can be very romantic for a date, anniversary, or intimate birthday dinner if you let them know what you're celebrating."
