    The atmosphere is cozy but elegant, with natural textures like wood and leather and expansive views of the beautiful Detroit Lake. The service is warm, friendly, and polite, and they give you time to savor each course. The food is high quality and expertly prepared. Everything is absolutely perfect. I will be back again and again for special events!

    This was my first time at Fireside. Food was delicious and service (bar) was great. We asked for carrots instead of broccolini and the server was amazing and convincing to the kitchen staff. All was great and will definitely go back. The fruitini is amazing too!!

    Had the special, pretzel crusted walleye, it was delicious! We sat outside due to the dining room being fully booked with reservations but it was a beautiful day so that was not a problem.

    Our dinner at The Fireside was absolutely one of the best dinners we've had this year. Everything here is top notch, starting with the atmosphere and the amazing view. (We timed our reservation around sunset, which I'd recommend.) Our waitress Megan was very efficient and super friendly as well. As for the food itself, every dish was fantastic. The A+ standouts were the parmesan & almond crusted walleye and the risotto, but there wasn't anything we ate that wasn't delicious. Whenever we visit Detroit Lakes again, we will certainly be eating at The Fireside. Very highly recommended!
