    The food choices are imaginative and delicious! The waiter was helpful, considerate and efficient, not to mention friendly. Everything about the Firehouse Restaurant is charm and elegance, but not stuffy or snobby. It was delightful to people watch the other guests, all dressed nicely and all having a good time with family and friends .

    Just thought the steak would come with more options or sides for the price point. The steak was good.

    Had a lovely Father’s Day dinner for two at Firehouse Restaurant in Old Sacramento. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a special occasion. Service was excellent—professional, friendly, and attentive throughout the evening. Ordered the duck and the steak, both of which were beautifully prepared and flavorful. Each dish was presented with care and exceeded expectations. We also shared a soufflé for dessert, which was light, rich, and the perfect sweet ending to a great meal. Overall, it was a memorable experience with outstanding food and service. Highly recommend for a date night or celebration.

    sat us early-- food was good-- when the steak was cold-- they warmed it nicely and when the drink was not what was expected-they replaced it immediately. The food isn't innovative-- lamb- beef- seabass- scallops but it is delicious. not cheap. nothing was less than $45. The wine selection was very deep. -- pages deep if you are oenophile- you will be in heaven

    We sat outdoors in the back patio which I would recommend strongly, (the interior was too dark and depressing). The service and food were mostly great.
