    Dinner with my son, such a lovely time. We love coming here the food is always great! Best ever is our favorite mushroom toast, delicious! We ordered the clam pizza with fontina cheese which was perfect and also my favorite the grilled swordfish over bits of butternut squash in a creamy sauce. Oh and don’t forget to order the sourdough ice cream for dessert. You will not regret! Can’t wait to dine here again.

    Great meal and service! The Steak Tartare and Clam Pizza are a must try if you haven't been. Our server, Michelle, was excellent!

    We shared the Caesar salad, mushroom pizza and squid ink pasta. All were delicious and the right sized portions for three lighter eaters. The salad was most interesting-made with radicchio instead of romaine. The pizza was our favorite, but very garlicky. I’ve had better squid ink pasta elsewhere but it was very good. A little tangy and spicy with chunks of lobster. Will definitely go back.

    A little disappointing. We waited 20min to be seated (with reservations). Tried a few wines - not the best, so ended up taking a cocktail which was very good. Food came out quickly - we were sharing and dishes came flying by - wish it was slower. Food was just ok. The brick oven dishes were definitely superior to the rest (especially mushroom toast and cabbage). Pizza was quite oily. Deserts were mediocre, toffee pudding was too well done. Find it hard to believe I will return.

    Great experience. We arrived unexpectedly early for our reservation, and the hostess was extremely helpful in finding us alternative seating without having to wait too long. Restaurant was busy, but food was served quickly.

    We really enjoyed our experience at Prairie Fire! We were hesitant of the limited menu options but we were blown away by our meal. The food was so good and the service was great. Highly recommend the kale pizza!

    I took a friend here who loves good beer and good pizzas - she was happy! We got some oysters, which were fabulous, and shared our meals. She liked the beer selection, and I like their cocktail selection.
