"Searched for a great place to celebrate a birthday. Happy we came here, but I’m not sure why, in the reservation process, Open Tables asks if it’s for a special occasion because we did tell them, but there was not one bit of acknowledgment of it at the restaurant. In fact, after we got back home tonight, I got notification from Open Tables that the restaurant canceled our reservation as if we were a no-show. Our $200 plus receipt begs to differ. So maybe the restaurant staff had no clue that we had told Open Tables about this being a celebration? But that was the only damper on a really great meal."

"We ordered out my wife and I so the atmosphere rating is based off the server who greeted us she was a delightful knowledgeable and helpful server. The food was on point! I had the Steakhouse burger I requested Medium Rare NAILED IT. I also had house fries they were good. I enjoyed this restaurant compliments to the Chef and lookin forward to eating here in the future great job staff!"

"I was at a wedding catered by Live Fire Chefs. It was the first time that everyone enjoyed their meals and all the plates were finished. The short ribs were amazing. They melted in your mouth. The Salmon was also delicious as well as the Chicken Marsala."
