Sky-high Argentinian grill with standout views and generally strong steaks; service and value impress many but occasional missteps and strict seating policies frustrate some.
FIRE delivers A-grade performance through strong food quality anchored by well-executed steaks and fresh seafood, paired with attentive, knowledgeable service that guests consistently praise by name. The spectacular skyline views elevate the experience into celebration territory, though occasional consistency lapses during peak service and modest portion sizing prevent grade A territory. A reliable choice for special occasions with skyline appeal and solid Argentinian execution.
Perched high above Orchard, FIRE feels luxurious yet lively, with skyline views that turn birthdays and anniversaries into events. Many guests rave about attentive servers who guide cuts and wine—“the ribeye had a great sear and stayed juicy”—though peak-night timing and window-seat rules can intrude. The room’s sweeping city views are a genuine showstopper. In the kitchen, the team leans Argentinian parrilla with elevated traditional touches: chimichurri, empanadas and quality beef alongside citrus-dressed seafood and produce-led starters. Most nights deliver well-executed steaks and fresh seabass or black cod; a few outliers report overcooked beef or a lackluster sharing tomahawk, so stick to proven single cuts if you are particular. Portions read modest but add up comfortably, and set lunches are a smart entry point at this premium location. Families can make it work, especially at lunch. While there is no kids menu noted, options like crispy gnocchi, grilled chicken, bread basket, and simply cooked steak or seabass are approachable. Do note the polished vibe and occasional timed seatings; younger children who need unhurried meals may be happier earlier in the day when the room is calmer and spacious.
