Made last minute reservations for a late Saturday night seating at the Firehouse which was within walking distance to our hotel (the Delta King). It was a birthday weekend and we began our celebration with this dinner. After some discussion and with some trepidation, we decided on the chef's Table for Two special, chateubriand for two with a choice of... More

My husband and I enjoyed our anniversary dinner here while we were visiting Sacramento. I had read all the reviews and decided on it beau see of the food ratings and the pictures of the patio dining, so when I made the reservation on line I requested the patio. When we checked in I was told that they only serve... More

this was an very good experience. When we came in, they wanted to give us a table inside, which is pretty dark. Apparently they had a group on the terrace. When we wanted to leave and look for another restaurant, a classy waiter came to us and told us he would arrange anyway a table on the terrace. He toke... More

Was expecting a little more after hearing all the reviews - food was good - expensive - dining room does not have much of an atmosphere or privacy - one big room - would have thought it woudl have been laid out better with more atmosphere and privacy. Food is definetley good but expensive. Our waiter was knowledgeable but really... More

Food was great and it was so refreshing to have wonderful, knowledgeable service. Tight run ship! Wine was a little over priced.

Seamless service, absolutely first-class ambiance, service beyond the expected. I had only one meal there, but it was superb. The menu is varied and the wait staff is more than capable of helping with any questions. The wines cover the entire spectrum from every day affordable to outrageous. If you want to experience first-class dining (and admittedly first-class prices) this... More

We eat here on many of our special occasions because the food is consistently excellent and varied among a range of innovative cuisines on a seasonally changing menu. Although the prices are high, they reflect many special extras. There is always a complimentary before-meal appetite stimulating treat--this time a small cup of cauliflower vichyssoise with a drizzle of tart apple-infused... More

My wife and I took advantage of a gorgeous spring day to drive from our home in the East Bay up the Sacramento River Delta to Sacramento with the goal of having lunch at The Firehouse. We hadn't been there in many years but had always enjoyed our meals there. This day was no exception. We had hoped to have... More

On my two previous trips to Old Sacramento, I'd wanted to try this restaurant, but the schedule just hadn't worked out. So sorry I missed it those trips because our experience was fantastic! There were four of us, each having something different, and each equally delicious. The Short Rib Ragout was outstanding, the Curry Cauliflower and Crab Soup was yummy,... More
