Bumping this one up after a recent experience...
A couple of weeks ago (maybe longer than that), I went to The Fireplace. It's a pretty well-regarded restaurant in the Boston area; I got a gift certificate as a present and wanted to try it out.
It was definitely not worth the price or hype. I tried their signature dish, the spit-fire roasted chicken, and it was dry and chewy. The appetizers were fairly normal, nothing to write home about. I had a roasted turkey, and although some parts were good, most of it was dry as well. The only good thing was an appetizer of short ribs, and even those weren't outstanding.
If you're in the Boston area and want comfort food on that level, there are tons of other places to go (Stephanie's, Bob the Chef's, Redbones, etc.). I would recommend skipping out on The Fireplace.
