"We hadn't ever noticed the Fireside restaurant during our previous visits to Door County but decided to give it a try after finding out it was an OpenTable restaurant. It sort of has a supper club decor and atmosphere, but the food is decidedly beyond that caliber! I started with the smoky cheddar broccoli soup nice, sharp cheese flavor and almost too rich for a first course. Hubby chose the prime rib special and was pleased with his choice. I had the venison osso buco on a bed of brussel sprouts with bacon and root vegetables. This was osso buco done right melt in your mouth meat with nicely cooked vegetables that paired well. For dessert we shared the pumpkin bread pudding, something that...

The fodd we had was very good. I had the chicken pot pie:. My wife had pasta. The pasta was in a sauce. She asked the server if the amount of the sauce was light or if the dish was swimming in it. The server said it was light but it came soaking with sauce. That was the only downside. The restauranthas had a few differentowners overtheyears. The decor has stayed the same. The drapes, at least, needtobechanged.

Our group of 10 tried 9 different items off of the Fireside's menu and 8 of them were truly excellent. We had seafood (salmon and jambalaya), comfort foods (french dip, pot pie and chicken and waffles), red meat (prime rib and beef tournedos), and pork chops. Everything was full of flavor, well seasoned and properly cooked. Only the French dip disappointed the meat was very fatty and chewy. Great food, very good service. Dessert menu was sparse, though nowhere near the caliber of the food menu. We passed on dessert, which is EXTREMELY rare!

We were recently at the Fireside for our 1 year anniversary. They have a very nice bar which is large and sits in front of a beautiful fireplace. Then came time for dinner. The food is top notch and food that you won't find just anywhere. The venison was amazing! No taste of wild game at all and perfectly cooked, fork tender! The cherry barbecue ribs were seriously the best I have ever had anywhere! So tender and meaty! Then the owner came to our table and talked with us and answered every question we had! Just an amazing overall experience!

"Keep Googling for a better restaurant in Door County. Let’s begin with the UNwelcome welcome at Hugel Haus. We waited for the doors to open at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 14. We were second in line and seated promptly. While showing us to our table, the hostess stated that due to volume, we only have the table for one hour. We ordered quickly and our food was delivered to the table soon thereafter. One entrée was the Rouladen nightly special $28.00). The menu states it was slow roasted; however, the beef had a very hard sear rendering it difficult to cut and eat. It was stuffed with bacon that appeared to not have been cooked prior to stuffing it in the roulade – it was rubbery and flabby. My companion ordered the Wienerschnitzel $26.00). She wanted to switch the demi glaze for the Rahm sauce but was told that due to volume, they would not allow any substitutions – no exceptions. The breadcrumb mixture was so salty it tasted like saltine crackers were used for the crumbs. The demi glaze was also overly salted rendering the Schnitzel was inedible. Both entrées came with red cabbage it was cold on both of our plates. We asked our server, Cody, if it was supposed to be cold, and he replied no. Cody stated that he would tell the kitchen staff to check the temperature of the cabbage so it does not happen to anyone else. He did not offer to warm up the uneaten red cabbage on our plates or bring us another order of red cabbage that would have possibly been warmer. The information regarding their policies of time allowed at the table and no substitutions is for your information. This complaint is regarding the bad food and food that was not served at the correct temperature and was not rectified."
