The Fireplace Will Keep Burning

Citing a change of heart, Chef-owner Jim Solomon has announced that The Fireplace will not be closing at the end of the year. “Ever since deciding to close the restaurant I have been overwhelmed with requests (some very emotional!) to remain open,” says Solomon. “I love serving the community in which I live and have decided to keep running my restaurant.” The space was going to be turned into an outpost of Pepe’s Pizza, a famous Connecticut pizzeria, but Chef Solomon says the deal has been “called off.” That means that fans of The Fireplace will be able to enjoy Chef Solomon’s “rustic food with integrity” into the next year and beyond.
