    What a letdown. Server was apparently overwhelmed and forgot things and disappeared for long periods. Hostess did try to help by running food. Food was mostly just bland and didn't taste as good as it sounded. The ambiance is really nice. It's a shame it's not better.

    Tapas experience was fantastic and ample. Dan was a first class server who held our hand through the entire menu and didn’t lead us astray!

    Skirt steak was off, usual favorite but was salty and bitter and inedible, quickly replaced with something else, and everything was otherwise great

    We had fun trying a lot of different things and everything was amazing. Never felt rushed….The service was great! Our waiter, Dan, was excellent as were all the people running the food out. We will definitely go back!

    Outstanding. From the greeter at the door to the waitstaff, it was an amazing experience. They helped make the evening special for my friends and me. Food was huge and GREAT. Cocktail’s were wonderful. The sliders were delicious if a little too red for my table. I loved mine. Outstanding all around. Thanks for a lovely evening before the theater.

    The server Dan, went above and beyond making sure our dining experience was top notch. He brought drinks out very quickly and was always nearby when we were putting more food orders in.

    I just went to Fireproof for my birthday weekend celebration! It was fantastic and I will absolutely be back again! The vibes were immaculate! Our server, Dan, was kind and hilarious! He did not skip a beat! He really helped make the experience special. I also got a free slice of cake for celebrating with Fireproof!! Highly recommend and if you can get Dan you’re lucky! The food was delicious! It can be tapas or you can get an entree. I picked the crab cake and wagyu empanadas, so amazing. My friends picked the lobster tacos, the Cajun pasta with chicken, & fried rice. Everything was delicious!

    Fireproof is perhaps the best restaurant in Columbus, Ohio! It’s located in the most happening part of town, the service is excellent, servers are super warm and kind. Ambience is lovely as well. Now coming to the food itself, we ordered wagyu empanadas, spinach dip mushrooms, mussels and dumplings. Everything was excellent! Highly recommend the mussels and the empanadas. Cocktails were good as well. Great job overall!

    That was the best overall dining experience we’ve had in a long time. Everything was perfect from the cocktails to the variety of small plates and the service was spectacular. Our server Dan was off the charts attentive and personable. It was our first trip, but certainly won’t be our last.
