Fireside Kosher

We last visited Fireside shortly after it opened several years ago. It appears to have reacted to the recent advent of very expensive restaurants in the area by upgrading the menu and prices. We ordered the 19-oz steak with “upgraded” Fireside fries (the included side dish is only standard fries) and the Pastrami Steak. The 19-oz was excellent, cooked medium-well as ordered, and the fries were worth the $7 additional cost. The pastrami steak tasted great, tender as well as crispy with a delicious sauce… but each of the 3 slices was nearly 50% fat. I piled up mounds of carefully dissected fat and pointed them out when the waiter asked how we were enjoying our meals. I did not make an issue of it, but she insisted that she would notify the chef. A few minutes later, she returned with a plate containing 1 1/2 additional slices. I appreciated this gesture tremendously. For dessert we had chocolate mousse, which was lovely, and the cinnamon bun, which was possibly the best dessert I’ve ever eaten. And the presentation was delightful, with the vanilla/strawberry sauce artfully cascaded over the bun when served. The cost is daunting, but we would definitely return for a special celebration (or if we are given another gift certificate as on this occasion). But I will order something other than the pastrami steak.

Amazing amazing food and service #fireside=⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great food!!

One of the best (kosher) restaurants in Monsey area and really the greater NY region. Outstanding service. Great food. Lovely ambiance. The smothered fries with burnt ends are out of this world. Really like the duck fingers in the beer batter - outstanding! I can’t believe it took me five years to try Fireside, will definitely be back.

Called to place an order. They put me on hold for a looong time. Tried calling back few times, they constantly put me on hold!
