Impossible to know from the exterior how beautiful it is inside. The Maitridee offered to take our coats upon arrival, placed our napkins on our laps, followed by a myriad of servers with drinks, water, food etc. Jacob, James & Bryan stood out as professional, polite, and friendly at the same time. I ordered the Price Fixe ($125) meal of Caesar Salad, Rib Eye & dessert, all delicious. Accompanied by the Firehouse Flight of Wine, it was perfect! Certainly not everyday dining at the price, but a great treat for us, and highly recommended!

It's my first time coming out to the Firehouse resteraunt and it was as breathtakingly elegant as I had expected! I absolutely loved everything about yesterday. Thank you for the very best Valentines date to celebrate 8 years shared with my love! The food and drinks were phenomenal! Everything was excellently portioned and came out at a pace that felt perfected. The service was top notch. The wait staff were amazing! I'm definitely thinking about coming back for my birthday or something this year cause the food was so very pleasing and that was an experience I'd love to have again!

This place is definitely the most exquisite dining that I’ve ever experienced. The food was perfect. The blend of seasoning was amazingly delicious. A perfect balance of flavor and not to overwhelming that is naturally delicious. The employees are extremely pleasant and friendly. Our Server was Amanda, she was was extremely friendly and informed about the menu, as well as the deep history of the restaurant. I would highly recommend this place to anyone that is looking for an exquisite meal with superb cuisine with a pleasant environment in a historical atmosphere.

Had dinner Sept. 18th. See receipt What a fantastic dinner! After a terrible wait and no service at the hotel restaurant we were staying at we decided to turn the night around and snagged a reservation at this beautiful restaurant! My man and I had the best steaks ever! First of all this is a very classy restaurant with fully staffed and knowledgeable employees. We lucked out having SABRINA wait on us! She was warm and delightful and helped guide us with all the choices on the menu. I ordered the New York Steak..perfectly cooked, and it had a sear around the edges that I love! The other dish was the bison Steak which Bry liked as well. Love the fingerling potatoes on my dish! Extensive wine and cocktails available. I had a rich Cab and my man had the pig(whiskey cocktail). Both top notch. Dessert was this creamy chocolate "bar" which was to die for! It's a bit expensive, but it is TOTALLY worth it because the quality of the food and cocktails is exactly the price point I would expect. They have a full bar and offer both bar seating or seating in the dining area. They were packed at 630 pm (weekday) so make sure you make a reservation. Thank you Sabrina and staff for a memorable and delightful dinner! Now on my top favs for dinner! Ps. They have happy hour as well as valet.

I have been wanting to dine Here for 40 years, but I moved all over the country. Recently moved back and dined with a group of five friends. We had appetizers soup, salad, entrées, dessert, cocktails, and bottles of wine. Every bit of it was amazing and the service by James was exquisite. What an amazing experience, I can’t wait to get back there. Thank you for this gem of a restaurant.
