Dinner was fine. Set price was $120 per person on Xmas Eve, not worth it. The brunette woman server/bartender was very rude and curt. Will probably go back unless I see that same woman server.

Our food was delicious. We both had fish and they were both really very tasty. We will definitely go back.
Dish restaurant has been around for quite a long time. Unfortunately, when you walk in it seems dated and old. The good part is it's in a cool area and the food wasn't bad. The service was disjointed and it definitely needs a refresh. I went there when I couldn't get an OpenTable anywhere close by in less than an hour. I was with a group of three and we were able to walk in and get seated immediately. This might be a locals place. Definitely not a destination or date night. If you're in the area, I will repeat the food is decent but I wouldn't go out of my way to go there

Walked in on a Saturday night and were able to be quickly seated. Tried their scallops and burger. Scallops were gently prepared accompanied by mashed potatoes and al dente vegetables. The burger was grilled as ordered and came a generous portion of french fries. They have a good selection of wines. I opted for their Pinot Grigio which was bright with hints of apple. Really enjoyed our experience here. We were lucky to be seated without a reservation. Will return.

It is one of the most enjoyable restaurants we have been to on my 80 years on earth. Food : Perfect. Staff: Super friendly. Recommend everyone come and enjoy a real jewel in Woodside.
Service with Angela always good. The kitchen quality is sliding a bit in this beloved establishment.
Excellent evening at firehouse bistro, as always. But please don't go there, I'd like to keep it to myself. Lol
Service was very attentive. Food was excellent. Enjoyed mussels as a starter which were delicious. The main dish of pan seared scallops were done perfectly. My wife enjoyed her dish of seafood risotto. Desert of mixed fresh berries in cream sauce was perfect complement to the meal.
Another spectacular meal at Firehouse Bistro. We have eaten here several times and have been impressed every time! Our server's recommendations were spot on—mussels and tuna tartar starters were delicious and the rack of lamb, sea bass and burger were exceptional. The special petrale sole was a treat as well, and we finished the meal with a bread pudding and apple crisp that satisfied our collective sweet tooth beautifully. Highly recommend.

We arrived around 8 PM. The restaurant was very quiet. The service was amazing. There were others there. The food when it came, I ordered the special fish for the day and it came with rice. The rice was cooked differently than I expected but the combination of the two flavors was good! The bread was already drizzled with olive oil. The waiter was very attentive and overall it was a great experience. The other order was pork, the portions are generous!
Great location in the heart of Woodside-food was very tasty and our server Felipe was warm and attentive. Old firehouse vibe with local art-we had the salmon and the pork chop and will come back again!
Very disappointed. No anchovies for the Caesar salad, spaghetti -like pasta instead of the listed fettuccine. Salad was all leaves. Not like a Caesar. Poor wine service.
Quite pleased except for the lack of service. Never asked if we would like something to drink. If it had been very busy it would have been understandable but they were not.
Excellent experience. Good selection of wines and a full menu. You are sure to find something to please you. It made for a memorable evening.
