The food and service at the Firehouse is consistently above average, way above average. The ambience in the main dining room is perfect for us, with music that is pleasant. Most restaurants play music so loud that you either don’t go back, or you run away from. At the Firehouse you can actually carry on a conversation. The food was excellent, perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The wait staff is very attentive. We look forward to dining at the Firehouse again and again. Thank you Firehouse for being so reliable.

Fantastic service. Our reserved table for 8 was available and ready when we got there. We were seated at exactly 5:30 pm. And DT Sac was breaming with Christmas shoppers and the place was packed. Good was served very nicely and timely. Delicious fish and chips. Apps were ok. Not great. Steaks were spot on. Cocktails were awesome and champagne was served nicely chilled and on ice. Overall the restaurant and its service is impeccable. Great birthday dinner.

Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, friendly and provided the best service. She was understanding that we were late for a reservation. Most of all she was aware of our time constraint as we were going to a Kings game and expertly timed our drinks, starters, and main dishes. She was superb! Thank you for the excellent meal and service!
