The story
The Fireside sits on East Shore Drive in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota, where the landscape of lakes and pines sets the scene for a straightforward proposition: serious American steakhouse cooking paired with a wine list good enough to earn Wine Spectator's Award of Excellence in 2017.
That recognition from Wine Spectator is not handed out lightly. It signals a cellar curated with genuine care — bottles selected to stand up to the kind of food a proper steakhouse demands.
The Fireside's identity is rooted in the American steakhouse tradition: quality cuts, honest preparation, and a room that invites guests to settle in and stay a while. In a region better known for walleye fries and fish boils, a steakhouse earning national wine recognition stands out as a destination in its own right.
Whether you're arriving from the Twin Cities for a weekend on the lake or you're a local looking for an occasion-worthy dinner, The Fireside delivers the kind of experience that justifies the trip — and the bottle.
