Fire

Dinner seven nights a week, plus Sunday brunch. Reservations suggested on weekends. A white-tablecloth Creole grill with menu that changes seasonally. Ambiance is nice yet casual. You might find appetizers such as corn-fried oysters, griddled crab cake and turtle soup; entrees such as seven-hour lamb shanks, grilled shrimp with andouille cheese grits, Southern cassoulet, baby back ribs and po' boy sandwiches. If it were closer to our home in Hoover, we'd probably eat there fairly frequently.

For a restaurant called fire, it sure is lacking in "pow". Its a nice, fancy, tasty restaurant with great service and a higher priced menu, but not the unique experience you might be hoping for. 3 and half out of 5 stars.

The food is always pretty good and the service above average. However, I would agree that its not outstanding and we don't frequent this place often because there are places in town with a better overall experience in terms of food, service, charm, and price. If it wasn't in Mt.Brook, the place would be out of business. Knock $3-5 off each menu item to be at the appropriate price point (in my opinion).
went to fire for the first time last night. nothing life changing, but a plesant experience with very good, very quality food. crowd was a rather 'elderly' but the overall atmposphere was nice. there are better places in bham for sure, but you can't go wrong with anything here if you are looking for sommething 'safe' and satisfying.
