    Awesome experience. My date had the scalllops and I had the pork chops. Cooked to perfection. Cocktails were delicious. For dessert we had espresso martinis. Staff were friendly, professional and provided excellent customer service. If you are in Old Town Sacramento highly recommend.

    For the premium price of $85.00/person, we expected more upscale choices and at least one cocktail/glass of wine included.

    The Firehouse Restaurant has an established San Francisco restaurant vibe. The attention starts when you arrive at the valet station and continues throughout the dining experience. The dark-suited servers and all of the other attendants provided excellent service. We mentioned it was our anniversary and we were seated at a great table. The food was very good. While the prices won’t allow frequent returns, we definitely will come here for special occasions. It’s an appropriate setting when you want to dress up and feel special.

    We had the Duck, Lamb, and two cuts of steak - Filet Mignon & NY strip - and all were outstanding, as were the four Old Fashions. Iconic historic building with that lovely bygone classic elegance that you’d expect in Old Town Sac, without a hint of stuffiness. It’s definitely spendy - our meal for four adults with starters, entrees, drinks & dessert - was over $500, but you absolutely get what you pay for and Firehouse continues to be a family favorite.
