The Fireplace Room Restaurant 4.44

"I chose the Fireplace Room for a night out with a friend for 2 reasons: 1- it is close to her home in Harvard and 2- their website showed a vegan entrée and I'm vegan. Truth be told, I don't generally expect anything too outstanding from golf club restaurants but it seemed like the best pick in the area.

The restaurant is very pretty with white tablecloths and the hostess was very nice. After being handed the menus, I noticed the vegan entrée wasn't on it so I asked our waitress, Jackie about the menu. She told us the menu was brand new. I explained that I was vegan and asked if perhaps the kitchen could "ramp up" a salad for me or something since the vegan item was gone. Jackie felt so badly! She apologized profusely and then said she was sure the kitchen could do better than just a salad and went off to inquire. She came back very quickly and told me the chefs could make me a "cauliflower steak" with assorted veggies on the side. I love cauliflower so I was thrilled! My friend ordered the chicken and we both ordered the evening's drink special which was a blueberry and vanilla bean infused vodka with a splash of lemonade (OMG, SO GOOD!)

Our meals were excellent! The cauliflower dish was amazing! The chefs even sent Jackie out to make sure I was happy with it. Jackie had to be one of the sweetest, friendliest waitresses ever!! We had a great time at the Fireplace Room and I just can't thank them enough for being so accommodating to my vegan diet."
