Fire!

I finally had the occasion to hit Fire! last night with Rapunz, Dargs and Capn Crazy/Gypsea duo. I must say, it was way better than I expected it to be. We settled in and the chef sent out a complimentary tapas plate for everyone! It was a slice of roma tomato on some greens, and it was topped with a creamy sauce and/or olive tapenade;I didn't catch the official description, but it was delicious. We started with the dip trio, the dip I had was the olive and it was as delicious as I remember it in NOLA. We also had sundried tomato and apricot habenero in the trio, and it was all consumed readily. Then each couple had a salad that was large enough to share. The salads were very good and fresh. My entree was a stuffed pork chop, which was out of this world delicious. Rapunz had scallops which she only allowed me to have a tiny nibble of and it was killer. I don't remember what everyone else had, but all seemed very pleased. We also drank three bottles of wine 😀 We passed on dessert because we were full, but the offerings sounded fantastic. I must also make mention of our waiter, Stewart (or maybe spelled Stuart) who efficiently and merrily attended to us.:wave: Brenda Darr was there, (as she always was in NOLA) and the house was packed! As somebody who ate at the NOLA version of Fire! and the new one, I must say the food here was better than the old offerings, and I guess that has to do with a new chef being on board. And just so you know, this is not a New Orleans restaurant...it is unique and has a menu unlike any other in the area. If you have not tried it yet, do so soon:wave:
