Loved everything about our dinner at FYR. Great open fire kitchen with Argentina parrilla. Food was amazing, from starter to dessert. Favorites if the night was skirt steak and the side of grilled carrots. The gnocchi was also delicious. The place is big and spacious with a nice setting of tables around the room making the ambiance super nice for every occasion ( large or small parties). Want to go back to try lunch menu too.

Overall, we felt like welcomed and appreciated patrons, and we will most certainly be back. Food was great, most had hanger steak. Drinks were excellent. The table size was perfect for our group. Its location at the door made for a noisier, colder and less private dinner, and the use of stools for two of our party was less comfortable for them. Our server, Jenna was great, and she made up for the inconvenience with her enjoyable personality, complimentary bruschetta, and flexibility on appetizer portions.
