Every culture around the world enjoys a rich history and tradition of family and friends gathering around a fire for a shared meal and good times.
A communal culinary & cocktail spot, Live Fire rekindles the relationship between a culture's cuisine and it's use of man's oldest friend, live fire.
The Live Fire menu features top quality ingredients sourced both locally as well as from more exotic locations and using recipes influenced by an array of cultures around the world and served in a variety of formats – bar snacks, small plates, handhelds, entrees and family-style to accommodate snacking, feasting and everything in-between – all cooked using live fire within view of guests.
Designed by the New York City based Ce***o Design Studio, The Live Fire vibe is evocative of exotic travel destinations. Adjacent to the bar, our open kitchen features a custom-made wood-fired grill and hearth that creates an energy that permeates the entire room. Guests that eat at the bar have a view into the kitchen and are rewarded with 'tastes" for interacting with our chef and cooks. Stylish and relaxed at the same time, and with warm lighting and a great sound system, the focus at Live Fire is on the food, the drinks, the people and having a great time.
There is an inventive yet approachable beer, wine and cocktail menu curated by the renowned Ti***ing Brothers featuring local finds as well as international favorites, classics as well as cutting edge preparations.
The service is fun, friendly and attentive. Our staff is knowledgeable and enthusiastic without being pretentious. Expect to find Authentic “glad you’re here” Hospitality.
The Live Fire Market offers great take-out for those times when you can’t dine with us and we’ll be putting our signature Live Fire Truck on the road come the summer and available for your private events.

Founders
Jamie Galler circa 2015
Starting as a busboy at the tender age of 16 because he wanted to earn money to buy a car and have an excuse to get out of his parents house on week nights, Jamie never dreamed that he would ultimately make a career of the restaurant business.
Upon graduating from Vanderbilt and returning to New York with a degree in Political Science and Fine Arts, Jamie made the fateful decision to avoid the stimulating environment that is law school in favor of late nights in hot kitchens and cool bars and the excitement that is the restaurant business.
After leading the Riese Organization, one of NYC's largest restaurant and real estate companies for more than a decade, In 2010 Jamie got the entrepreneur bug and helped found !Savory, the NYC's first upscale, delivery only restaurant. More recently he assembled and led the team that created and launched Palmwich, a ground breaking healthy fast casual concept in Fairfield County, CT.
Steve VanNote
Steve began his restaurant journey by working in over 100 restaurants between 1984 and 1990. Some for two hours, a lot for two days, more than a few for two months, and several for longer. All of this was accomplished as he self-financed his college education by acquiring the education of a restaurant journey man.
Steve’s career path included work in New York City, Florida, Texas, Colorado, and Oregon. He climbed the corporate ladder from hourly associate to management with both Steak & Ale and Chuck Muer’s Seafood and repeated the process with several independents. Steve’s restaurant journey has had him cross paths with culinary mentors such as Sharon Ragan, Sam Goldman, and Andreas Hellrigl. From these chefs there were lessons that only experience can teach.
He has worked at restaurants that were pioneers in their time such as Florent, Joe’s Bar and Grill, Jekyll and Hyde, and Felix as well as restaurants that were stuck in time (no names here as to protect the innocent).
