Firehouse RestaurantGreat food and serviceWe have been to Firehouse many times and it has been a long time favorite ever since it opened. The food and service are excellent and reliable, and the prices are reasonable for the level of quality and care. Great for couples and groups up to about 10 (they also have a seaparate space upstairs for larger events. On our recent anniversary dinner visit we shared a delicious bruschetta with asparagus, rosemary and cheese that was a perfect starter, two delicious salads, and the always delicious hanger steak as well as an unusual and succulent rockfish preparation with mint and salmoriglio.5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMGo to restaurantA favorite to take out of town guests. Delicious food beautifully presented.5/16/2013 12:00:00 AMSuch a great feel!Great restaurant, really love the overall decor/aesthetic. The food is delicious, and the waiters and staff are super helpful. We asked if we could move to a table outside, and they helped us right away. It was super warm with the pizza oven blasting, but it makes great pizza, so there is little to really be upset about.
Overall, it was a super pleasant experience, I had a great time and had some great food. I would definitely recommend Firehouse!5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMFood was excellent, and theFood was excellent, and the wine while being a limited list was very good.

The service was incredible, some of the best in Portland. A true Portland neighborhood restaurant that lives up to the city's reputation for outstanding restaurants.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMgreat experience!we had a great meal, Steven took great care of us and Firehouse has the best pizza in town by far15/2/2013 12:00:00 AMThe Firehouse is absolutelyThe Firehouse is absolutely a neighborhood gem and has outstanding food and service. Steven, our waitstaff, is superb. It was my sister's birthday and Steven made her feel quite special without embarrassing her like you get when the staff at other restaurants sings Happy Birthday (yuck).
We had a variety of menu choices and no one was less than completely impressed. We live a few blocks away and we are often there for Happy Hour and dinners.4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMNeat dining experience.Went with a group of four after making an on line reservation. The table was ready upon arrival and a server immediately greeted us at the table requesting drink orders. The service moved along at a good pace, without rushing us. The menu selection, while more limited than some restaurants was good and the items we ordered were delivered hot and well presented. Over all quality and quantity were excellent. Pricing was reasonable.4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMexcellent date locationAll I can say is that this place great. The food is great, I had the hanger steak and my date had the margrita pizza. The staff was very attentive, my water glass was never empty. The price was fair too. While yelp lists it as being romantic I'd say its not. We arrived early and even though the reservations were for six pm they seated us at once. The only drawback it very popular and could make it difficult to hear what somine was saying. That said if I lived in the neighborhood I'd eat there all the time.4/19/2013 12:00:00 AMWent there on a get togetherWent there on a get together with friends that had just returned to town. This was our 4th visit and it will not be our last. We ordered the calliflower appetizer that was outstanding, two of us had the Romaine salad that was crisp and well presented. Two of us ordered the chicken, we also had the sea food dish and a pizza. All were excellent. The service was the best I have seen in Portland in a long time. The price was reasonable and the atmosphere lively but did not affect the ability to hear conversations at our table.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMOther than two screaming children,Other than two screaming children, that the parents ignored, it was a very good evening.4/12/2013 12:00:00 AMFirst timer's impressionOur waitperson, Steven, was excellent, "waiting" patiently while we caught up before actually ordering. He was very helpful as neither of us had been there before. The food was delish. Love the fried olives, and the pizza was perfect. Things other customers were getting looked wonderful.
I wouldn't recommend it if one uses hearing aids as the acoustics are a bit questionable, though not BAD, and the WC is in a bit of an odd place, but overall the the place is great. Comfortable and friendly and I look forward to going back, especially in summer to sit outside!4/12/2013 12:00:00 AMDon't even think about it, just go.Friends recommended The Firehouse as a terrific restaurant, and on our first visit we discovered they were right on.

The food is amazing, artfully crafted. The drinks are delicious. The atmosphere is authentic, beautifully designed, upscale yet comfortable. The smell of the wood-fired oven takes you to another place. The servers are upbeat, kind and completely attentive.
The other patrons all seemed as happy as we were and we left feeling like we were on top of the world! We are having an event here this summer and we are completely delighted we got to choose Firehouse.
In addition to crafting fabulous edibles and serving it with the finest of class, they are very organized and intentional.3/13/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat service, extremely tastyGreat service, extremely tasty food.
