    Easily the best overall fine dining experience in Sacramento (we love several others as well, it’s just that The Firehouse is one-of-a-kind). The ribeye special tonight was especially exceptional. We keep coming back for the ambience and personal service, with consistent attention to detail, and no one else has a setting like this (not to mention the best wine list outside of Napa).

    Took my team out for a celebration dinner following a conference presentation - while overall the experience was nice, there was the matter of one member of our party having to wait because of an error on the input of their order: they ordered the exact same item as another party member, which was read back correctly, but received an entirely different item on first attempt. When the server was informed, there was a little too much ... personality ... in the response, as though it was somehow our fault. The request was simply to replace the meal with the correct item. It didn't require any additional demonstration on the part of staff, especially when it sounds like it was in input error or something in the kitchen - we weren't upset with the server, until we were made to feel like we were the ones at fault, and the bit of a cold shoulder from that point on was hard to miss. Again, overall - food was fine, ambience a little noisy given the "entertainment" upstairs (who needs to adjust for the key that they ought to sing in to avoid straining for a note), and we still had an enjoyable time all things considered.
