Welcome to Fire at Will, the gastropub where the food is so good, you might need to shout about it! Dom Ruggiero's brainchild is a stylish-yet-casual sibling to Hush Public House - a name that's a bit ironic because there's nothing hush-hush about the deliciousness happening here.
Now, the term "gastropub" might sound like it's straight out of a time capsule, but at Fire at Will, it's the key to unlocking a culinary treasure trove. The bar is the heartbeat of cool, pouring out local brews, wines, and cocktails that are practically works of art thanks to the Two Hands mixology team. I suspect they've got a secret potion that turns regular drinks into mood-boosting elixirs.
In the kitchen, it's like a food carnival. The menu walks the tightrope between high-end restaurant fare and elevated pub grub that's had a makeover from a Michelin-star stylist. The burger is not just a burger - it's a philosophical experience. The macaroni au gratin is so dreamy it could be the plot of a romance novel.
Now, the real kicker? Brace yourself for the city's best Scotch egg - it's like an egg that went to an Ivy League school and majored in deliciousness. Feeling brave? Try the lamb tartare, Brussels sprouts with a nuoc cham blessing, and mussels that took a spa day in white wine and tarragon.
But, fair warning: Fire at Will isn't just a restaurant; it's a party, and it's loud. So, if you're looking for a quiet spot for a tête-à-tête, bring your megaphone because you might need it. The noise level is the only thing competing with the deliciousness here. It's a little rowdy, a lot of fun - the neighborhood's go-to hangout where the food is the star, and you might need to raise your voice a bit to declare your love for it. So, grab a seat, prepare to yell a little, and let the food symphony begin!
