I truly don't think i've ever been a "regular" at a restaurant before coming here. My girlfriend and I go here every single time I visit without fail. It is so consistent and the flavors blend perfectly together no matter what we order. I love how they continuously change the menu and improve on their dishes. I will continue raving about this restaurant until the end of time. Shoutout to our waitress who remembered us from months ago, she was great!

Service was top notch, sat at a ledge table near the bar area. Ambiance was fun and lively with some good people watching. Pizza was good but not great so not sure how quickly we'd want to go but in the area would consider it.

From the vibe to meal, everything was excellent. Service also exceeded my wife and I's expectations. Our meal was- Bread as our app with a salad. And entrees were steak and carbonara. All were some of the bests we've had. I should add the drinks and desserts were great (office party & sourdough ice cream). We're definitely coming back.

Came here with a group of 4 with a reservation and we were seated pretty fast. Service was solid, orders were taken quickly and food came out in a reasonable amount of time too. The menu had a good selection of sharables as well as regular single portion dishes. We shared everything which was nice to try a bit of everything, but in general things were suited for individuals too if that's what you like. Food was tasty and good in quality. I enjoyed the pasta and pizza the most for sure - solid entrees overall. The drink I got was also extremely strong which was nice! Overall, Prarie Fire was a good dinner experience. The price was a bit steep, but we had a nice time nonetheless.

This place is a gem! I showed up a few minutes early for my table and they went out of their way to make me comfortable... a great sign but the best part was the food! They had a couple of off beat choices that I felt the need to try. 1st the stake tartar which is one of my favorite dishes had a very cool presentation. They actually served it on toast not with toast... and it could not have been more delicious or fresh! 2nd- they had a burger with aged cheese , pepper mayo and caramelized onions which I thought would absolutely be too much... it was not! It was amazing! I don't know how it worked so well but it did! Also the actual know how what medium rare is! Great staff, great menu and great food! 10/10

Cute place with nice vibe. Brought my daughter and her bf, because she wanted to try it. Overall food was tasty. Brussels might have been our favorite. Portions were small so that after ordering what our server thought would be plenty, had to order two more dishes!

The 4 of us ended here because one individual in our party wanted pasta and another was gluten free. The menu appeared to meet everyone's needs. They also had a solid drink menu. Our picky pasta eater had the fettuccine. It included meat- Guinea hen ragu. I was initially concerned she wouldn't like it when she realized it wasn't chicken but she loved it. We enjoyed the shishito peppers and heirloom tomato appetizers. Our GF diner enjoyed the chicken while another really enjoyed the fennel sausage pizza. Sadly no GF desserts available besides after dinner drinks. The sourdough ice cream was enjoyed by others. Good and unique. It was a little dark but comfortable with a good vibe- loved the fire. Serve was attentive and helpful in suggesting GF options.

My family got off of our flight late afternoon, and this restaurant was very close to our hotel. No comments about parking around here as we used public transportation and Uber to get around. We were greeted by a friendly host and sat down right away since we went at an off time. The waitress was attentive and checked in often to see if we had any questions on the menu. We ordered the Calabrian Chili Pizza ($24) and Burrata Pizza ($23), and the food came around 15 minutes after we ordered. They were prepared at the counter close by and placed in the wood fired oven to cook, and the flavor definitely rubbed off on the pizzas! The pizzas were around 12 inches in diameter and cut into six slices - I would say a hungry person can eat an entire pizza. The Burrata Pizza was nice, light, and the Burrata was complemented nicely by the tomatoes and pesto. The Calabrian Chili Pizza was my favorite of the two - loved the pepperoni and tomato sauce combined with the chilis and honey was a flavorful combo. The pizzas were nicely charred and sourdough-forward, but it was still hard to justify the steep price. Come if you really like Neapolitan pizza, but otherwise, you can find other places around that are more worth it.

Awesome Neapolitan pizza! I got takeout from Prairie Fire while visiting Boston. I had the Fennel & Sausage pizza: the ricotta and onion + chives are a big part of the flavor profile. I definitely want to try more from the menu!
