    OYSTERS*, bread & butter, and beef carpaccio

    We got sat right away. Service was amazing. All staff was very attentive. Food was amazing. The restaurant had a nice vibe. Will come again!

    **Dine Downtown Event** I can confirm that the valet service offered is very appreciated as old town sac's parking situation is a bit excessive. Came in Friday evening. Business casual, as encouraged by the restaurant. Interior was modestly gaudy...chandeliers, large paintings, several mirrors. Staff were pleasant, worked like a well oiled machine. One for bread (complementary), one for apps, one for water. Your main person takes care of the order, drinks and check. Food Items: Arcadian Mixed Greens: It was a side salad, no rating. Freshed strawberries and sliced apples. Braised Mary's Chicken: 4.1/5 - friend said chicken was nicely prepared and tasty. Pan-seared Local Black Cod: 4/5 - Delicate fatty fish (sablefish). Felt like it was not the star of the plate per se, as the cream and vegetables packed more of a flavor punch. Vanilla Crème Brûlèe: 4/5 - Was fine per my friend. Chocolate Mousse Cake: 4.1/5 - Nice portion. Not overly sweet. I will say, sellands market has a dark chocolate mousse bar that may have spoiled me with the intense dark chocolate take on mousse. Both cocktails were fantastic. I did request a Negroni 'UP' (which up charged it by $2). Bread was fresh, warm. Butter with bread was mild. Overall, great experience. Server staff were attentive. Mixed crowd, which was nice to see (I appreciate Sacramento in this regard). Highly recommend trying this restaurant, even if only once, as 'money be acting funny' at this point in life.

    Me and my husband really enjoyed our first time visiting the firehouse restaurant. Service was impeccable. Everyone was on point and ready to meet the needs of all customers equally. I ordered a New York Steak entrée. Although it didn't come out medium as requested, it was not grossly overly cooked and I still enjoyed it. My husband ordered the double bone pork chop. He cleared his plate and enjoyed everything as well. We will definitely come back to try a different entrees . I love that they had Seabass and halibut on the menu. Those are usually might go to but I opted for the steak this time around. The restaurant was dimly lit. It had a romantic vibe, lots of patrons with smiles on their faces and pleasant staff.

    The Firehouse had their Firehouse Wedding Showcase today in their courtyard. It was set up beautifully with table setting arrangements, food, and various vendors to complete the wedding experience. Upon entry, you were offered a glass of sparkling wine before heading down to the courtyard. A buffet was set up with a charcuterie display, bbq pork sliders, Mac n cheese, and broccolini. Other hors d'oeuvre were served by staff, and staff walked around to pick up discarded items. A vendor was displayed from photography, music, photos, cake, etc. An open bar was also available during the event. Where was not as many vendors as years past but at least one of each area was displayed.

    Visited December 17th..see my receipt as always. This is always one of my last stops while staying overnight in Old Sacramento. It's upscale and classy yet has a romantic and warm feel to it! Great happy hour and dinner menu ( their steaks are the best!). My boyfriend and I had a great time with their 2 wonderful bartenders...Gage and Carly. They are friendly and true professionals! We of course got their prime rib blend burger with fries during happy hour...so filling and always done perfectly! You can't beat the happy hour drinks (Martini). We also bought a bottle of wine to bring back to our hotel room. We always have a fun yet relaxing time after a long day of shopping! Good job as always Firehouse Restaurant and thanks again to Gabe and Carly! Can't wait to come back!

    Dine Downtown Restaurant Week 2026 with my friend Cristi, a Thursday night dinner. If not doing valet, better to park at the garage rather than street metered parking which is enforced until 10pm. I started with a very berry mocktail, and the first course for Dine Downtown was a salad as the only choice, and a small cracker bite in between courses. For mains, I went with the dish (pan-seared black cod) over the chicken -- no steak option this time. For dessert I chose the creme brulee, and she had the chocolate mousse cake. For my birthday the brulee came out on a plate with candle and Happy Birthday message, but there was also an additional slice of caramel cheesecake brought out. Service was not rushed, and very attentive. Winter weather meant indoor dining (still a very fancy vibe), but I'd like to return in the spring or early summer for courtyard eats again.

    HERB-CRUSTED NEW ZEALAND RACK OF LAMB*
    Darlene A.

    I made a last minute reservation on a Friday evening for birthday dinner, and they were thankfully able to accommodate even though we came about an hour before closing. The restaurant has a vintage charm, it's in an old building with elegant chandeliers and warm, classic décor. The lighting was on the dimmer side, which makes it hard to get a decent pic. We ordered: * Prime Dry-Aged New York Strip Steak : The steak itself was well seasoned and tender, cooked to a nice medium as requested. However, the vegetables on the side were a bit bland, slightly soggy, and the presentation felt underwhelming for the $65 price point. For a signature entrée, I was hoping for a bit more, perhaps crispier potatoes or a better vegetable side than carrots n zucchini to complement the steak. * Herb-Crusted New Zealand Rack of Lamb : I didn't try the lamb myself, but it looked beautifully cooked : juicy, pink in the center, and topped with a flavorful herb crust. Overall, the service was excellent and attentive, and it's definitely a place for special occasions. Worth to check out but not entirely sure I'd come back for the food alone.

    The good: gentleman who checked in our jackets, he was a very welcoming host with a great sense of humor. The desserts were absolutely worth every single calorie! Rich, creamy, sugary deliciousness. I couldn't decide between the two, chocolate mousse or vanilla cream Brûlé, which one was the best. Also, I really enjoyed my glass of wine and thought it was a good pour and very reasonable for $15. The bad: I felt the waiter wasn't as welcoming and I felt neglected once he learned we were doing the Dine Sacramento menu. Definitely saw a difference in attitude with the next door table ordering bottles of wine, lol. My chicken was moist but overall just felt bland. Lastly, I enjoyed the European atmosphere but I would suggest saving your money for an actual trip to Europe.

    FIREHOUSE CAESAR SALAD
    Na'ilah G.

    Excellent service and delicious food. Steak always comes out perfect, the cesar salad is so good I could have 3 more bowls of it, and the bread and butter are a great touch.

    When you have the beans available and you don't mind spending a ton of money on dinner this is one of the best places to go in Sacramento. This has been our route forever at least 50 years.. no matter what you get it's gonna be awesome. I absolutely love the beef. Any of the beef choices are to die for. Of course it has to be medium rare otherwise you're just destroying the meat you might as well go to sizzler as usual place is clean and elegant service was awesome. I love the place. I highly recommend it. You won't be disappointed.but

    We came here to celebrate a friend's birthday. The restaurant is beautiful and service was top notch. However, the food was disappointing. Bland filet mignon, and the fish dish was quite sad, a thin cut and was fishy. The appetizers were also disappointing. Crab cakes were bland and dry and the other items were just ok. Maybe because it's a prefix menu for an event but the prices do not match the quality of the food. Parking was also difficult, especially if you come on a busy night. We had to pay $20 to park in the garage.

    Met up with some friends in Sac and they recommended this place. We made a last minute reservation for 8 and they were able to accommodate us without any issues. The restaurant was pretty cute with thoughtful decor and a beautiful wine cellar. It's located in an old firehouse, kind of obvious because of the name. They even kept the circle stairs that goes up, but that's blocked off just for show. Parking in the area can be a bit tricky, but they do offer valet service. The service was attentive and the food overall was very good. We brought two bottles of our own wine and paid the corkage fee, which was a nice option to have. The halibut was slightly on the dry side, but the steaks were excellent and cooked perfectly to a medium rare. The appetizers were a good portion and great for sharing with the table. The duck breast was moist and flavorful, and the rack of lamb was especially impressive. The Caesar salad was great and they even throw in whole pieces of anchovies!! We ended up being the last table to leave, which says a lot about how much we enjoyed our evening. Overall, great service, delicious food, and a lovely atmosphere. Would definitely come back. Make sure you leave some time to explore the area, seems to have a great night life up and down the streets!

    Sister in law had her birthday here and they set us up in a private room. It was such a nice experience of luxury and elegance. The food was great, I had the pork chop and it was delicious. A few appetizers were ordered and though a few were not major fans of what was ordered the quality was good and it was more of a preference than the taste itself (got a soft shell crab sandwich and I loved it, another didn't). Service was great, we got seated on time and they were understanding of our needs as a larger group. Good menu selection, priced as fine dining ($60-75 per person with one drink and entree was average).

We were watching the other table get their wine and beer and wondered where our bottle of wine was. Our order came out after about 20 minutes and we enjoyed the food. We ordered a pizza and a chicken Parm sandwich. When the order arrived , we were not given any plates so we had to use napkins to set our slices on.
