About Fire Baby

Southport lands a split-level room pairing wood-fired pizza upstairs with open-flame steakhouse cuts below—skipping the fine-dining markup. Up top, diners grab tables overlooking the lower floor for pies with an airy cornicione straight from the hearth. Downstairs at Ember, the kitchen shifts to rib-eye over open fire, served alongside duck fat potatoes and kingfish sashimi. Sundays center on a porchetta roast that routinely sells out before the lunch crowd thins.

  • Dual-Concept Grill & Hearth: Blistered, wood-fired pies with light, airy crusts upstairs, balanced by bone-in rib cuts seared over open fire downstairs.
  • Split-Level Dining: A multi-level layout pairing a lively mezzanine pizza bar overlooking a spacious dining room and steakhouse floor below.
  • Dedicated Sunday Roast: A weekend daytime centerpiece serving porchetta and duck fat potatoes alongside the regular à la carte lineup.
  • Fire-Cooked Plates & Sweets: Dishes designed to share, including smoked short rib empanadas with labneh, tender lamb ribs, and house tiramisu.

Why Diners Choose Fire Baby

From fire-kissed cuts and artisanal woodfire pies to crowd-pleasing weekend roasts, book your table ahead to experience Southport's hottest multi-level venue.

  • Steakhouse-Caliber Cuts Without Premium Markups

    Guests enjoy bone-in striploins and wood-grilled cuts that compete with top-tier steakhouses alongside artisanal woodfire pizzas, all without high-end markups.

    The steak easily rivalled those I’ve had at high end steakhouses, but without the premium price tag.

  • Frictionless Group Payments and Ordering

    Table-side QR code ordering allows each dining guest to select and pay individually, eliminating awkward bill-splitting friction during group outings.

    I especially like the use of QR codes when eating as a group - no splitting of bills etc.
