Fire & Oak in Jersey City
I have been a huge fan of Fire & Oak since I discovered it last year: ok, you would think that, as it is located in the Westin Hotel, you would get some hotel food, being a bit lost with the variety of dishes on the menu, but in fact, they serve some delicious food. So it was my pick for my birthday, wanting to try their ribeye for quite some time.
When we arrived, the place was packed: this was not a surprise and we of course had a reservation. They sat us pretty quickly and I immediately ordered their smoked old fashioned that they bring in a smoking dome, adding a bit of a show as they walk around the room and uncover the glass, smothered by a thick smoke.

Then, I got the sizzling spicy shrimp that were bathed in a scallion ginger sriracha lobster dipping sauce that was not that spicy but had a robust taste, but was not as spicy. But the sauce was the star and I was glad that they served it with a Texas toast so I could dip it in the comforting sauce.

Then I got the steak. It was a 23oz bone in ribeye and I chose the French fries with it (you have a choice of one side - these fries are not to be missed: crispy on the outside and cooked all the way through ). The steak was medium, although I asked for medium-rare, but it was tender, juicy and had a nice char.

Jodi on her side got the wild mushroom and goat cheese pizza that was quite good with enough topping on top. I should mention that they use to make a Detroit pizza, but not anymore (I wonder why they stopped).

For dessert, we got the warm chocolate brownie that was gooey with a nice crust. It was a bit sweet, but the vanilla ice cream cut down the sweetness.

This was a great way to finish a very good dinner. I am still a fan of this place and will be back for sure!
Enjoy (I did)!
