I've been here a few times and have always been happy with my meal. My most recent trip here was not so nice unfortunately. I started with a salad that contained a lot of grit. I stopped eating it after the first gritty bite. Obviously, they did not wash the lettuce properly which can be dangerous. Or, it was washed well and the grit entered the scene afterwards (I prefer to think the former was the case). My main meal was good. It consisted of different meats and vegetables and the carribean j--- sauce that I'm very fond of (I'd give the full name of the sauce, but citysearch won't allow the "j" word for some reason...rather odd since it's a common culinary term) . About 1.5 hours after I ate I started to feel very nauseas and dizzy. That persisted for about 48 hours. I called my doctor and she told me that it was probably caused by the food and that it would pass in a day or two, which it did. I'm not sure if was the salad or not, but I have decided to only have salad from places I believe will take great care in providing clean vegetables. Salad is raw so there's always a risk. Overall, I like Fire + Ice, but hope that they educate their staff on proper sanitation techniques. I'd give this place 3 stars if it didn't make me ill.
Pros: Good tasting, seeminly fresh food
Cons: Poor hygiene
