Romantic neighborhood restaurant right off the Green line in the Washington Square section of Brookline. The cornerstone of the Washington Square dining scene, the Fireplace attracts young couples and older families with award-winning "New England grill" cuisine and a comfortable bar environment. While there's only one fireplace (located on the lower level, facing the bar), it fills the entire establishment with pleasant scents of winters past and future. Open for lunch, dinner, and brunch on the weekends, this restaurant and jazz bar uses all local produce and ingredients. Continually rated as one of the most romantic spots in Boston.

While Super Fusion may just look like any other hole-in-wall, don't let it's small size fool you. Super Fusion more than holds its own against Brookline sushi heavy weights Fugakyu and Mr. Sushi with delicious sushi at a fraction of the price. Seating is limited with only 4 tables for two and 4 bar seats but they deliver through Night Owl as well as do take-out for those too impatient to wait for a table. Super Fusion has a large menu with items such as the simple Kappa Maki cucumber roll and the Louisiana Maki with fried crawfish, avocado and an orange cajun mayo sauce. Prices on the Maki and Nigiri range from $4 to $18 with the average being around $8. Portions sizes are spot-on and you rarely feel overstuffed or over charged. Whether a you're seasoned sushi fan or new to the cuisine, Super Fusion is sure to have something for everyone. The Brookline location has thrived so well that a new location has opened in Watertown. Super Fusion also offers party platters ranging in price from $78 to $208.
