So it's GCQ and technically we aren't supposed to be dining out due to COVID but luckily, this place was empty when we ate here today. Apparently they only allow 3 customers in the restaurant at a time. Which is a pity because this place always used to be packed pre-Covid! But we appreciated the safety measures in place.
We ordered the steak salad, shrimp and crab pasta, double cut porkchop, and country fried steak.
The steak salad was good! Tasty with just the right amount of dressing, and tender spices of steak. A winner in my book, though I wish there were more greens.
The pasta was great! The sauce was just right, with a subtle brininess, a hint of spice, al dente noodles. A touch of lemon balances out everything.
The double cut porkchop was big and juicy! Good portion and would order again. The country fried steak's breading was not too thick, though I wish I had ordered one of the house specialty dishes instead.
My only major complaint is that most (if not all) appetizers were unavailable! Which is understandable. I'd probably call ahead next time to check if they're available. Otherwise, a memorable dinner. Would come back and recommend to others ✌🏼
Fireside is one of our favorite restaurants in BGC and we are honored to share with you, guys, the new delicious items on the menu.
Roasted Corn Chowder. Rich and creamy corn soup, peppers, potato, celery. I love the taste and texture of this corn chowder. It's viscous yet smooth when you eat it. There's a good balance between its creamy taste and the taste of corn, complemented by the other vegetables in it. I like this chowder a lot because it doesn't come too strong or too seasoned compared to other chowders that I have tried. I just find the balance of flavors quite perfect. Also, the bread is so good--best eaten while hot and by scraping a side of the bread and adding soup with it. This is one of my favorite picks among the dishes served.
