    Our server was wonderful but it was the food that wasn't up to par. Steaks were overdone and a bit burnt - disappointing to say the least!

    This was our first dinner at The Firehouse and we'll be back for more,.....lots more! the food was the best of American cuisine, perfectly seasoned, ample servings, beautiful to behold, served with flare and attention to detail. and, the menu has something for everyone. The service was top notch, but not stuffy in the least. Nothing precious here. Rather, if harkens back to the heyday of white tablecloth dining, but with the updated appeal of a more casual and relaxed, though upscale, ambience and engaging service ethic. The whole place felt like a very special party at which every single person was having a great time and really enjoying themselves. We left feeling very well taken care of and pleasantly full and satisfied. .....also have to mention that there were several small details that added to the overall experience; things like a genuinely charming maitre d'hotel, an amuse -bouche, and Randy, our terrific waitperson, bringing me two complementary wine tastes to make a choice for a glass of wine to go with my duck Entree, a dollop of pate on the prime rib, and more. What a night!

    Incredible atmosphere. There is no place in Sacramento that duplicates the vibe of Firehouse. Beautifully decorated for the holidays. Service took a long time when we were seated. Long wait even for water. Waitress apologized for the long wait, but it would have been nice to have drink orders taken while waiting. Food was delicious. Highly recommend the beet salad. Pork chop was huge, enough for two meals. Steak was perfectly cooked. Churro dessert was very tasty. All in all the meal was a great holiday special treat.

    Lovely experience- great place in a historical setting with great attention to detail in all aspects of dining. Ambiance made everyone feel special and the food was superlative. Will visit again in the future - transported to another point in time when fine dining was the norm.

    Another trip to the firehouse that exceeded our expectations in food, quality and service. I love the ambience and the large paintings based in the romanticism period with lavish gold frames. The wheat staff is exceptional at keeping waters filled and plates cleared everything you’d expect from a fine dining experience menu selections were ample, and they always have new specials to look forward to.

    Everyone, from the bartender, to the host, to the wait staff, and the valet was incredible and took such great care of us. Highly recommend not only this location, because it is Old Town, but also the building itself, with such rich history, that our server printed out a 4-5 page document of the history of the restaurant after we asked a few questions about the space. The attention and thoughtfulness of the staff was next level. Great vibes, great people, rich history.
