Uptight French chef, Sara Westbrook, gets fired up when her upscale café, Chez Varenne, is suddenly overshadowed by a new restaurant moving in next door run by a group of rowdy firemen. Led by handsome former fire fighter Gill Callahan and his friend Danny, The Five Alarm Grill is soon a big success while Sara and Patsy, her pastry chef, struggle to bring in customers. Sara suddenly softens when she meets Gill's ten-year-old daughter Hannah. Ignoring the obvious tension between her dad and Sara, Hannah is soon playing matchmaker. Can Gill and Sara's burgeoning romance survive the temptation to compete with each other, or will the heat of competition drive them apart?

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

I absolutely loved this movie. I had no idea what to expect and just started watching while doing something else. And after like 2 minutes I dropped everything and only had eyes for the movie. If you want to feel good, or maybe you want to see a romantic movie, or it's the holiday season - > watch this. It's great. It made me sad, it made me cry tears of joy, it made me laugh, it made me wanna hug my boyfriend. And then when I looked it up on IMDb I saw it didn't even have a picture, and the score was only 6,1. How is it possible that some people didn't like this movie? And that so little people have seen it? Only 360 people watched it and it's been out there for like a year now. I am going to recommend it to everyone from now on, and I really hope the director gets the credit he deserves.

These past few days i have watched a lot of hallmark movies and i have to say this one is by far the best one yet.If you liked No Reservations and the like then you will definitely like this one! The storyline may not be all that original but its redone very well with its own unique spin. The performances are amazing, the characters very real and so are the stories they tell. Hats off to Bailee Madison. Of course as said before the main and other supporting actors did a good job as well. The entire movie seemed very realistic, not over the top and doesn't try too hard to create a romance or a situation that influences romance; thats why I recommend it. a good heartwarming, funny and light and realistic movie. The best in the series of Hallmark movies i have watched this week!

This typical Hallmark film was very nicely done.A widower and former fireman, opens a restaurant right next door to a woman who has just opened a French restaurant. While she immediately bonds with his young precocious daughter, the two can't seem to get along at the beginning. For starters, she complains about his loud music which she feels is a detriment to the ambiance of her place.By Hallmark standards, the two eventually fall for each other.Peter Shaughnessy, of "The Nanny," co-stars as a food critic. Our guy shows what he is made of when our gal goes to his restaurant to cook when his daughter is injured in an accident. It is just then that our critic goes to review his restaurant but is enticed by what he sees at her.You'll just enjoy the ending is this breezy story.

Finally, a movie that is heart-warming without over-the-top melodrama that dominates romantic movies today or the unnecessary crutch of sex! My husband and I watched it on "pixl" a movie channel (that I did not know about before) and we liked it so much that I actually watched it again with my 8 year old daughter because it dealt with aspects of love,and romance without the hysteria and showed how real- life situations can be full of emotional ups and downs.Sara and Gill own restaurants next door to each other and start off the wrong foot with each other; however through a series of situations, manage to set things right and eventually fall in love with each other. The director has dealt with these situations not only with a pace that it engaging and humorous but also without resorting to sex which unfortunately so many movies these days cannot seem to do without.What a breath of fresh air; Kudos to all the artists in the movie. A wonderful performance with excellent direction!
