We were a party of 7 and not one single person complained about their food. The filet mignon was perfect and the goat cheese salad was such a treat!

One of a kind experience. Unfortunately, the food was not as good as i was expecting for the price. The main course was plain and bland, nothing i can't make at home better, but the first 2 courses were amazing. The service was excellent! NOT for kids.

Had dinner here for a party of 6 on a weekday. Their complimentary bread (especially the brown bread) and butter were very good. The smoked appetizer they had us taste was very good. Staff were attentive and quick. It took a long time for our orders to arrive though. Food was good. I had the spinach ravioli with ricotta and goat cheese, topped with asparagus, tomatoes,etc. Tasted great but note it’s a small serving. I also had the beets and cheese salad which had a very interesting presentation. The dining area felt very inviting though it could get loud. Beautifully presented and delicious desserts - tried the coconut panna cotta with strawberries and the honey black sesame cheesecake. The cheesecake was our fave.

The Firehouse is one of Sacramento's great restaurants for fine dining. We stopped in for another Monday Meat-up - this time it was Veal Osso Buco. The dish was a 10/10. The service is top notch. There was a small hiccup tonight with the fresh pasta dish, but they made every effort to make it right. We will return.

This restaurant came from a friend of mine who said I need to try it out. Well, it didn't disappoint. Most locals from the Sacramento area have probably already heard of or maybe already dined at the Firehouse. It's one of the oldest restaurants in the area. Every thing from the greeting when we walked in to the end of dinner was next level. Fine dining as it should be. If it was less than a hour drive from my home, we would definitely dine there more often. Looking forward to visiting again.

Walked in on a rainy Thursday evening and the place was pretty empty. No one was waiting and the host asked if we had a reservation. We said no, he says it's a 30 min wait, we thought he was joking, but he was totally serious. We got a drink at the bar to wait and the bartender was short with us but extremely friendly to the only other couple at the bar. I'm thinking this may be a snobby, locals joint?? We were pretty disappointed in the experience so we told the host we were leaving. Never tasted the food. Place is cool looking but not worth the experience.

Overall an 8.5/10. Food was delicious, great service & presentation. My filet was slightly overcooked & didn't seem like 9oz but I absolutely hate to send food back. One of the best wine lists I've seen in a LONG time with decades of aged Silver Oak CS. Very impressive. Would I come back? Absolutely. Would I bring clients back again? 100%.

Food was hit or miss. Appetizer if Kibster Nocci was on point. Delicious..made us get excited for dinner. It went down hill after that. The lamb was ok. I had 3 bites and gave the rest to my son. Potatoes and asparagus with the lamb were good. But didn't make up for the price point. The scallops were amazing but the risotto was unedible. I would not eat there again. The servers were good but no one asked why the risotto remained completely untouched. Made me think they might already know it was off.

Love it. Grandpa's 80th birthday celebration and they helped make it very special.

We come here every year on our anniversary. We had our wedding reception here. The wait staff are all very professional and make you feel comfortable from the moment you sit down. The food is probably the best we have had in Sacramento. The drinks were also done well. My only complaint is that we go here early to have a drink before dinner. This year we went on Friday and there was no place to sit at the bar and they don't seem to serve at the tables surrounding the bar. I stood at the bar for a good 5 minutes before the first person approached me to see if I wanted a drink. Normally we go during the week and that isn't an issue.

A beautiful old bar and restaurant tucked into Old Sac. Nothing super fancy, but everything is well done and the location is fantastic.

Food and service was great! I even got a complimentary dessert because I indicated it was a birthday celebration when I made the reservation. Highly recommend this restaurant. Will definitely return.

We have a joke in our family that the seasonal vegetable at firehouse is always green beans. So, that's a bummer. The chicken saltimboca was not good. However, the steak and pork were awesome. Bread and salad and soup also awesome. Amanda was divine.

From the moment we walked in to when we left the service and hospitality was on point. Amanda was our server, and she was excellent. Attune to diners every needs. The food was amazing. The scallops were cooked perfectly.  the cocktail menu was creative and tasty. They have an amazing wine binder as well. Looking forward to dining here again.
