Fireside Restaurant

We had a quick lunch with our friends before touring the Roosevelt Cottage and attending the 4 pm Tea with Eleanor. Both guys had the fish and chips (fried haddock and crisp fries) while us ladies opted for the vegetarian special (hummus and grilled veggie wrap). My side was a delicious broccoli cauliflower bisque and my friend had the ceasar salad (and picked off the unexpected bacon!) The service from Tina was polite and friendly, and it was pleasant sitting in front of one of the big windows looking out over the water.The only downside was paying for the bill and then realizing that we had forgotten to lay down our 10% off coupon.

Accessible and lovely place. Surprised to find that it has turned into a badly run cafeteria. Set up so line with trays blocks entrance to washrooms. Cold food prepackaged. Hard to find a place to eat on the island so if you have to eat here order hot food but be prepared for prices. Pop is $2.59 a can. Most customers complaining loudly because apparently this used to be a good place to eat with service. Seniors struggling to carry trays. Part of the Roosevelt estate. Would rather have decent prices and pay to get into the park (which is free). Great location but need to limit menu to a few hot reasonably priced dishes.

Maintenant, il ne servent plus avec le service aux tables avec un menu détaillé en table d'hôte ou à la carte. Désormais c'est une simple cafétéria dans lequel vous choisissez entre deux ou trois menus seulement. C'est assez cher et la qualité est correct. Toutefois la soupe de poisson est délicieuse. Mais comme on s'attend à ce que l'on voit sur les dépliants de Campobello et que nous nous retrouvons avec une cafétéria comme service de repas c'est tellement décevant que l'expérience est frustrante.

What a let down. Thought that from the outside that this was going to be a really great place... Nope. Buffet style french fries panini and old coffee. Not to mention the almost standoffish reaction for trying to patronize the restaurant.

Good food and a charming setting/history. They are moving to a buffet style due to Park decision, so I am not sure how that will affect the food.
