   The staff were friendly and professional. The food was delicious served hot. We celebrated our sister's 70th birthday and she was very pleased with everything. I would recommend the firehouse to my friends and family.

   Food review: Oysters were not shucked and cleaned ( the manger did comp. 1 of the 2 orders. But for 26 for 6 is not worth it. I had better else where for less). I had the halibut with polenta and asparagus - over cooked, so it was on the dry side, asparagus had some tough pieces I couldn’t chew. The other dish was the rib eye with potatoes and green beans - steak had some unpleasant chewy pieces. Crab Oscar- crab does not need the sauce it comes with. The scallops were delicious and cooked amazing. Desert to go. Umm the carrot cake tasted dense slightly dry but they try to hide it with the frosting. Chocolate mousse is okay. The apple crumb cake was just not good. Apples were not cooked all the way, whipped topping has no flavor of spice. We asked for our left over rib eye to be packed ( for the dog ) but the forgot to give it to us. Other than that our server Amanda was a delight to have and is much to good for that place. The price compared to the food is not worth it.

   I had not been to the fire house in nearly 30 years. How amazing it was to find at the service and the food was still absolutely superb. All of the service staff were amazing and made the evening very special. The ambience in the outdoor dining is perfect especially as it hits just before dark. I can’t recommend this more highly – an evening here is truly special!

   We had reservations for Mother's day. The entrees, seabass and filled mignon were really good. Highly recommend! Dessert was scrumptious. We had the fruit tart and chocolate Panna cotta. Yum! It was a bit pricey but we're glad we dined there.

    We came for the mothers day pre-fix menu. I've been to the firehouse a few times before and it was excellent, so I was a bit disappointed this time. My sister's steak was overcooked and my main course was inedible. They did graciously allow me to order a replacement meal which was decent but not worth the hefty price tag. As always, the service and ambiance was great though, so we still had a good time.

    After spending about $ 400 for Mother's Day brunch for three, including two drinks apiece, I was disappointed the beginning drink, usually a mimosa or glass of champagne, was not included with the meal. In terms of the food, everything very good except the potatoes with the lobster Benedict were rather bland and not especially good. The first course was excellent as was the Lobster Benedict. The service and ambience as always excellent; the restaurant is for us probably the best in the area. Hawks in Granite Bay and Taste in Plymouth are the only close rivals for the best but I would choose you first. Michael Davis

    Mother’s Day brunch was excellent. Multiple choices on pre fixe menu. Both apps the corned beef and potato crostini and the smoked salmon avacado toast were top drawer. The Chilean Seabass with polenta was fabulous. The filet was delicious too, though the potatoes had mixed reviews at our table. The peanut butter chocolate panna cotta was superb.and the triple berry tart was average. Expensive but rave reviews from the MIL so points for us and the Firehouse.

    The Firehouse is our favorite restaurant since the 1970s, however this time it was well below the standards of the past. On the first day I could make reservations, I reserved a table in the garden, I was called several weeks before we arrived and asked if I could move to dining room, I guess they had a party that wanted the garden, I said okay. When we arrived we were given a table in the MOST high traffic part of the room. there was one other table next to ours, not much better. We requested the Chef's Tasting Menu, our waiter had no idea, the Chef's Tasting Menu is a five course meal with wine for each course. The waiter asked if we wanted a cocktail, we said yes, the correct answer was NO, I ordered Mount Gay rum and received Malibu, confirmed on the bill. We were still having the cocktail when the first course arrived, the wine came halfway through the course. The third course wine glass had something hanging off the outside of the glass. The firth course, desert, we were informed the planned cake did not look good, so it was substituted for, we had no input on the substitution. It was rated 3 because of the high standards in the past, last Saturday in did not live up to their standard and it was the reason we were in Sacramento, the only reason. We are due back, this time it is NOT the only reason and hopefully it will be better.

    This ain't no sports bar! Fine dining the way it should be! Great food. Great service. Great accommodations. And the bar is great too! We hadn't been to the Firehouse Restaurant in many years and decided to return for our anniversary. We remembered it was very, very nice and very expensive. We were seated early. Nice table for two on our anniversary. Not crowded in cheek to jowl either. No TVs to be seen! I had the duck. Spouse had the filet. Both were wonderful. I started with a wedge salad that was the best I ever had. The restaurant comped a crème brulee because it was our anniversary. Even wrote "Happy Anniversary" in sauce on the serving dish. This was the most expensive dinner we've had in the last two years. But of course, we had a split of wine and a couple of their fantastic cocktails. (I even paid $25 for a specialty cocktail of theirs). But, it was worth every penny for the food, service and atmosphere. Our server Andrea was wonderful. Attentive enough to ensure our needs. But distant enough not to rush us. There was an abundance of servers, all well dressed like we haven't seen in ages. I can highly recommend that one bite the bullet and head to the Firehouse Restaurant if you have the chance. But please, do dress nice. It's that kind of place. A throwback to the days when fine dining meant something. Jeans and t-shirts shouldn't be allowed. Save those for your favorite sports bar.

    We were celebrating my Wife and my friends Wife birthdays. The staff made it a wonderful experience. The food was SO amazing. The beautiful old Firehouse build was a great place to eat. We will be returning in the future for other occasions at your wonderful restaurant. The staff and Cooks surpassed our expectations of what Fine dining is all about. Thank you.

    This visit was due to receiving a gift card for a bad experience. The food is good but overpriced. The restaurant was still a bit dusty. Service was good but this place shouldn’t be considered as fine dining. The flowers served on my children’s dessert plate had ants on them! Really? Not fine dining!

    Easter brunch at Firehouse. Wife and I decided to try the Easter brunch. Set menu with choices of main courses and dessert. Started with fresh baked pastries, then a ham/cheese frittata. They were great. The entrees were delicious. Wife had the crab Benedict and I had the filet. The filet was perfectly prepared, medium rare. Wife loved her dish. We had drinks, wife a peach blini and I had Bloody Mary. Perfectly poured and mixed. Our server, Andrea, really took care of us as well as the other support staff. Andrea is a great server with a nice persona. We will be back to this restaurant more often. You should try it.
