DOWNTOWN. When looking for a fun, unique, and creative dining experience, look no further than Fire & Ice. There is no set menu, rather, the concept can be called "improvisational" ­ you select exactly what and how much you want, and they do the cooking. Choose from a variety of seafood and meats, pastas, some 30 vegetables, and about 12 sauces; deliver your selections to the chefs stationed at a seven-foot grill and watch as they prepare your meal. Can't decide? Never fear ­ there are pre-printed recipes to kick-start your creativity. There's also a wealth of intriguing fruit-infused cocktails. And a word to the wise: local legend has it that the Greenberg sauce is an aphrodisiac!
