Fantastic meal at the Old Firehouse last night! Service was friendly, efficient and attentive. Food was exquisite (broccoli with satay sauce and shiitake gnocchi). As a vegetarian, my only suggestion would be to add a bit of protein to the vegetarian dishes, e.g. tofu or tempeh. And maybe one more vegetarian main dish option, so that two vegetarians wouldn't have to order the same dish. Lovely experience overall and hope to make it back here again!

WOW! We stopped by here with no expectations, we were just looking for some late dinner. They greeted us right away and even pulled over a second table for us when they saw we were playing a board game at our table. We ordered the lango to start and then the gnocchi with added steak. Everything was cooked to perfection and really flavourful! We both have worked in various restaurants in Vancouver and are somewhat foodies and I have to say, this place is top notch. Every single part of the dish was cooked with care.
I wish I could remember our servers name, but I want to add that she is an asset to your restaurant - really hospitable and kind. She went above and beyond pulling that table over for us. Love this place!

Went here for a late-ish dinner and we were welcomed with open arms! Good wine selection (we ordered the Tommassi, yum!). We also ordered the langos and gnocchi with steak. Wow! The food was SO GOOD. We were blown away by the food and service. A must stop in Duncan! Thank you so much for your hospitality!

Very limited menu, some items unavailable, amateur service. Arrived at 7pm, still no food at 7:45pm. Ordered salad, got wrong one. 1st class prices, 3rd class service.

Started out being a not so good experience taking 40 mins to get a drink however the experience was turned around by great food and friendly people and staff once the servers caught up with the level of busyness. Highly recommend.

5-ALARM PERFECTION AT THE OLD FIREHOUSE 🔥
Duncan’s best-kept secret just set the gold standard. From the moment we walked into the Old Firehouse, it felt like we were stepping into a vibe that hits that rare, perfect note: elevated but unpretentious, energetic but intimate.
Huge shoutout to Owner-turned-Mixology-Mastermind Jeff, who absolutely crushed it behind the bar — every cocktail and mocktail was a handcrafted work of art that could hold court in any top-tier city. We’re talking serious flavour fireworks here.
And April — what can we say? Her service made us feel like VIPs who owned the joint. She read the room, anticipated every move, and wrapped the whole evening in the kind of hospitality you can’t teach: pure instinct, heart, and grace.
The food? Next level. Every bite was a flex of flavor and presentation. The kitchen is clearly playing in its own league, balancing creativity with pure culinary muscle. Combine that with an ambience that feels like cozy meets cool, and you’ve got an absolute home run.
If you haven’t experienced Firehouse Grill yet, fix that immediately.
Thank you, Jeff, April & team! You crushed it.
