Leave the bustle of Brookline's Washington Square behind and step into the sanctuary-like embrace of The Fireplace. Thoughts of bountiful harvests quickly come to mind, if not for its all-American menu -- with the flavors of New England offered at lunch, brunch and dinner -- then certainly because of the warming pumpkin walls, dark wood and the way the stone hearth fireplace keeps aglow with candles in the summer and a roaring fire in the winter. The warming theme continues from the lower bar to the upper dining room, where the kitchen's fire-brick oven can be seen by all. Though the dining room is spacious, it possesses coziness as well as coolness -- subtle jazz music adds ambiance. Wednesday and Thursday feature live music from 9:30PM to midnight, which serves as great accompaniment to the rustic New England bounty (heirloom tomatoes, Ipswich fried clams, corn chowder) that Fireplace's chef transforms into sophisticated comfort food.

Very overrated

By eatlikes on 01/27/2006

The service was very poor -- multiservers who treat you like a commodity and don't pay attention to what you say. Our server asked if they didn't have our wine would be interested in another about the same price ( it was $10-12 more!) Our entrees came while we were still eating our salads and the bread plates taken as soon as we lifted the last section of bread from the plate! They forgot the side of fries ($5) (waitress said they were favboulous) we brought it to their attention -- they were so soggy that when you lifted them they folded in half! The standard recipe there seems to be to coat everything in olive oil, forgot the other advertised flavors, and then grill it. Geasy food. Don't waste your time (altho you get out of there in no time) no value fo what you get. We eat out a lot - don't mind paying for good food and service but this place is full of themselves. I did not list everything that was wrong here either.

Just okay

Food is nothing special and the atmosphere is okay. Service was slow the last two times I ate there. I do like the the location but feel it is over priced.

IMPICKE

PEOPLE YOU NEED TO GET OUT MORE. ONE STAR FOR THE LOCATION AND THE HOSTESS. THE FOOD IS BAD MAYBE IM JADED BY WHAT I HAD. THE BRUNCH WAS WORSE-WHO CANNOT MAKE SCRAMBLED EGGS? THEY WERE OVERCOOKED AND THE MENU HAS NO IMMAGINATION HAPPENING. THE OWNER NEEDS TO BE THERE ON SUNDAY. NO ATMOSPHERE-WHAT-A LITTLE FIREBOX. CHECK OUT HELMAND IN CAMBRIDGE. THATS ATMOSPHERE.

So Very Wonderful!!!
