Firebake has an interesting evening atmosphere: rustic and cosy, populated with expats and Asians with polished lilts roistering over—bread. The stew was enjoyable to be sure: I appreciated the strong notes of red wine despite its thinner consistency. But I had some problems with the beef: entirely too tough, too large and insufficiently marinated. So this was regrettably average, and I‘m apprehensive about the $26 price tag.
