Extremely appropriately named. We were on a road trip back from the depths of the mid-west. Whole Foods was the best food around if it even was. We came over the hill and saw a vision. Out of the Fire. Sushi grade salmon. Craft beer. Culture. Society. It felt like we had died and gone to heaven. The view and the service alone would’ve garnered a 5 star review. The food was better than described on both the menu and by our server Caleb. Another server stopped by and we got to know her and her musical tastes. It felt like home. Community. It is confusing why this place is situated there, but if you live nearby or are traveling through, it is a MUST. 5 stars to the chef, the staff, the architect. I’m scared that it was a hallucination. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Out of the fire cafe is the best place around here for a great meal and great service. The food is exceptionally delicious. We ate in somerset and the food is terrible everywhere. It’s worth the 27 minutes to drive there. Hands down the best place for a great meal.

If you enjoy unique restaurant menu with flavorful food, this is place to go. We went first day of new brunch menu and it was a great experience. Staff was pleasant and knowledgeable. Food was delicious. It is almost an hour drive for us, but we are planning to go back every Sunday until we try all the other dishes that sound wonderful.

We found Out of the Fire on the internet and decided to stop there after visiting a nearby attraction. It was at lunch on a Thursday. It was not busy and we were promptly seated. Our server Hannah was friendly and efficient. When I asked about an appetizer the four of us could share she made suggestions. We had a Humus platter and it was delicious! It had a grand variety so there was something to suit anyones taste. The rest of the food ordered was delivered hot, fresh and tasty. My wife didn't care for her tuna taco as the tuna was to rare for her but she didn't say anything. I believe it would have been dealt with. The portions were good sized. I had the Smash Burger. and sweet potato fries. I had to find a way to eat the burger as it was very large. With 10 ounces of hamburger and slices of bacon along with everything else it was more than I could handle. I rarely ask for a take out box but we did. They provided us with a container that is microwaveable.
Some might find the prices a bit steep but if you experience what we did I believe the food, the service, and atmosphere is well worth it.
