Easily the best overall fine dining experience in Sacramento (we love several others as well, it’s just that The Firehouse is one-of-a-kind). The ribeye special tonight was especially exceptional. We keep coming back for the ambience and personal service, with consistent attention to detail, and no one else has a setting like this (not to mention the best wine list outside of Napa).

Steak was ordered med/rare and came out medium-med/well. And potato purée needs salt. That being said I am more of a pan sear on steak than grill. So it lost a lot of flavor being grilled. Over all it was ok….but definitely not worth the price. Steak was @65$ probably only really a 30-40$ steak. Wife sea bass was really good. As was the crème brûlée. Although wish they used real vanilla instead of extract. Would we go again…probably not. Maybe try out eating at bar and the different menu.

The staff was incredible. From the phone call confirming my reservation to when my brother and I walked in. Staff was attentive, friendly, and prompt. The food was delicious. I will be coming back and would recommend The Firehouse to all.

Appetizers, salads and mains were all excellent as usual. We particularly enjoyed the pork belly and the gnocchi openers, as well as the beet and apple salad. The duck main course was delicious, and the halibut was perfectly cooked. Their freshly made bread was very tasty, as usual, but that can be a double-edged sword as it is quite filling. Good coffee, too. It is a quite pricey restaurant, but worth every penny.
