The first time you go it's a really cool experience, especially if you catch a good show. However, if you go back multiple times, it starts to lose it's appeal, particularly if you have dietary restrictions -- the chefs aren't very inventive. I'm a vegetarian, it's not that odd of a restriction, and I've gone to the Fireside about once or twice a year for 10 years (basically whenever family is in town) and every single time it's the same meal. You'd think for how much they charge for a meal they'd be able to come up with something different over the course of 10 years.

It's also often hard to get the attention of the waiter/waitress and you tend to have to wait a while if you would like refills on drinks. They're usually quite busy.

The shows themselves are usually good, but every now and then they're not so great, but that's just the way it is with live performances. Sometimes you've got a great cast and sometimes, you don't.
