Our experience was just great, from seating to service to food. Attentive, great food, quick service. No complaints, other than the music may be just a touch too loud.

Great brunch spot! Good serving sizes and love the rooftop. Mimosas were a pricey for their size

Went for Father's Day. Nice staff, beautiful view from upstairs. Loved the bottomless mimosas. You can ask for different juices.

I had a reservation for 2 plus a dog for a Mother's Day brunch with a dog, and the resevationist called to verify how many dogs and I told her just one dog, but a large well-behaved show dog. She thanked me for the information, and said they needed to know so they could place the tables so far a part. But when we arrived, there was no table available, but instead, there was a fire bar with high bar seats and certainly not comfortable for a senior or a large dog crowded next to other strangers at a bar. I'm unsure why I made reservations when others walked in with the same seating. We sat downstairs instead, but it has certainly changed since I've been there years ago. Also very loud DJ music. More party atmosphere and not so much a Mother's Day Brunch. We made the best of things. Unsure I would go back.

While the service, food, and ambience were exceptional the noise level was much too loud to hold a conversation primarily due to the dj spinning music.

Great place, we had a large group and they handled it extremely well. Great live music too. Highly recommend!!

This has been a “go-to” place for us for years. Consistently good. Table service taken care of by Sam was excellent. She is attentive, friendly and overall great!

The 6 of us all really enjoyed our meals. Prices were very reasonable and our service was great!

My date and I had lunch at Firehouse. We sat upstairs/ outside. There was one other table occupied by a couple and a man at the bar. There was only one waitress serving upstairs. My date ordered an alcoholic drink and we both ordered lunch. I asked for no onions on my burger. The waitress did not write our order down on a piece of paper or tablet. Once she walked off, I told my date there is a decent chance our order was going to get screwed up. The food runner brought our appetizer, still no drink. We finished our appetizer and he brought out the lunch. I asked him about my date's drink. I also realized there were onions on my burger. He notified the waitress who came over with the drink and apologized. She brought me an extra plate for my onions that I removed from the burger and told her I didn't need it. We finished our meals and the waitress brought the check. She told us she removed my date's drink from the bill. I still gave her a decent ($10) tip even though I thought the service was terrible. I'm not impressed by a server trying to remember our order and then screwing up a drink and part of an order. NOT HAPPY.

Probably more suitable for a younger crowd. We prefer an environment a little quieter when we have dinner. The type of music and the sound level didn't please us.

Came for a lunch and it was some of the best food we had our whole trip. They had a great lunch special that had salad entrée and mini dessert for $16. The avocado BLT was delicious as was the burger. It was a great rooftop atmosphere with views of the ocean. would definitely recommend!

8 of us went in there 12 Oct 2024, worst decision we could have made. It was 3 couples and 2 individuals. We all got seated and told her (little short blonde waitress) who would be on what ticket, that just completely overwhelmed her that we asked for separate checks. We said nevermind, out it on one. We ordered some drinks and probably 20 minutes later we got the drinks, worst long Island iced tea I've ever had. 2 of the other drinks were wrong and then the waitress got pissed because she brought the wrong drinks. A lot of huffing and puffing going on, we finally get to order the food. Burger we're all bun not much beef and the beef on there was like hockey pucks. Some Mac and cheese that was horrible, only thing that had any taste was the bacon they sprinkled on top. One burger had no sauce on it, another waitress that helped bring food out, sighed and was a smart ass because we asked for the sauce that was supposed.to be on there. It was not crowded at all, took us about 2 hrs to get a drink each and some good and then had to flag her down to give us the check. $456 later, we were all unhappy, 1 person paid and then we settled up. Worst food and service I've ever had. Avoid this place, to many other choices.
