I visited The Fireplace the week it opened and I've been back many many times since, never with anything less than super-attentive and friendly service and amazing food.

I'm a huge fan of the Fireplace for many reasons. It's perfect for any occasion whether it's a romantic dinner, family gathering, a few drinks and apps at the bar while listening to live Jazz with friends or Sunday brunch. Delicious menu, impeccable service, affordable prices, free parking, cozy yet elegant atmosphere...what more can you ask for? In addition to that, the owner Jim Solomon always makes us feel so welcome every time I'm at the Fireplace with family, friends or business partners. Needless to say, Fireplace is my top dining destination!

The Fireplace Restaurant in Brookline has a great vibe (yes, it's got a fireplace!). Great modern New England fare and live jazz and latin music on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Recommended for a nice date or a casual get-together with friends.

My wife and I decided to have a Washington Square night. Start at Fireplace, get some pastries at Athans, then head over to Publick House. Fireplace is just UNREAL. It never ceases to blow me away. We both had the half-chicken, their signature dish. I've been dreaming of it since. Started with the mussels - oh man, that broth? Fireplace is just insane - in my top 5 favorite restaurants in the greater Boston area. A special place indeed. Jim Solomon has done a great job.
